Sherlock Gnomes | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tara Brady Irish Times Kung Fu Panda director John Stevenson keeps the plot moving at a jaunty pace. Rated: 3/5 May 18, 2018 Full Review Sherlock Gnomes | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Actually more fun than the original and guaranteed to make under-10s shudder with delight. Rated: 3/5 May 11, 2018 Full Review Sherlock Gnomes | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ed Potton Times (UK) It's nowhere near as bad as it sounds... Rated: 3/5 May 11, 2018 Full Review Sherlock Gnomes | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Dan Buffa KSDK News (St. Louis) It's a serviceable animated take on a well known tale that also happens to be a sequel. One could call it a movie solely for kids, but you can't even trust them being happy with the product. Nov 10, 2020 Full Review Sherlock Gnomes | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Tom Beasley Flickering Myth Comes together better than any belated sequel to a mostly forgotten family movie probably should. Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Sherlock Gnomes | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Matt Cipolla Film Monthly If you want morbid animation, watch Foodfight. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Zuzanna G It was an epic experience, but i really hoped that Sherlock and Watson would passionately make out at the end of this epic movie. I'm definitely going to recommend this piece of art to my friends and family and probably buy a gnome to my garden. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
