Review of Sherlock Gnomes (2018) by Ahmedaiman999 — 29 Mar 2018
Should I start mentioning its empty plot, scattered chasing sequences that are put one after another with no reason, its absurd and silly jokes that just are not funny? I can't even remember if I smiled once while watching this stupid movie ..... no no hold a second, I think I smiled once because they used the wilhelm scream and I believe that at this time I was supposed to cry or something.
Of course the villain is so weak and his backstory and motives don't make any sense. By the way, the villain is just a miserable try to make a version of the joker in The Lego Batman Movie.
The most infuriating thing is that the movie tries to make you feel it's smart; showing 2D animated scenes to display the way Sherlock Gnomes thinks or how he tries to solve the mystery and all that absolutely nonsensical. Also, there is a plot twist that is presumed to be surprising.
There are man many other problem but let's get over them and mention the very few things that I liked in this movie:
- The animation quality is surprisingly quite good.
- James McAvoy's and Johnny Depp's voice acting are the only two that are kinda good but the other actors aren't good (Emily Blunt's voice acting is very idle).
- The first 20 minutes are fast paced so I think this is a bonus! (The pace dragged every once in awhile due to "dramatic" moments or just to play some songs).
I'm so disappointed that this movie came from John Stevenson, the same director who brought us Kung Fu Panda. (4.
