When I first heard of the sequel to Gnomeo and Juliet, I was both excited and dubious. How could you make a sequel to a movie of Romeo and Juliet as gnomes? Could it work? Would it be as good as the first one or be a major letdown? One thing was for sure - I would have to see it when it came out on DVD.
I don't want to have any spoilers so I'll keep the plot summary brief. Gnomeo and Juliet's friends and family have gone missing. Who can solve this mystery? Why, the brilliant detective, Sherlock Gnomes and his trusty assistant, Dr. Watson, that's who! The adventure that follows is a mystery that stays true to Sherlock Holmes while at the same time keeping the fun of the original film - along with plenty of Elton John music. The villain of this movie is a perfect balance of comic and diabolical which really suits a children's film yet also is enough to keep adults entertained. I love the animation and the numerous Easter eggs hidden throughout the movie (just like in the original). While some parts of the story are a bit predictable, that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. I urge any fans of Gnomeo and Juliet (or Sherlock Holmes) to pick this movie up. You won't be disappointed.
Well, that does it for this week. I hope you enjoyed this post as much I enjoyed writing it. If you've seen the movie, leave a comment telling me your thoughts on it. Was it great or just okay? Please try to keep the spoilers at a minimum for those who haven't seen it yet. I look forward to reading your comments. Have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!
