Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

... View MoreGarden gnomes Gnomeo and Juliet have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness? I was no fun of Sherlock Gnomes which was released a few months ago and after seeing the original film i didn't find this one that funny too i mean i thought it was cheesy and hardly any funny and a total waste of a great cast of actors such as Emily Blunt and James McAvoy and all the others. (0/10)
... View Moreand this virtue is the only real important. because it is a funny, honest, little bizarre animation. for the entire family. the story is known. but its use is more than decent. because the idea of the feelings of lawn gnome is seductive, provocative and it has the reasonable development. and maybe, this is the right purpose. for a film who is a delicate and amusing game with emotions, desires and intentions.
... View MoreDespite the name, this movie is not a real incarnation of Romeo & Juliet. Yes, it does have the same plot, but I would say that's basically as far as it goes. Despite this, Gnomeo & Juliet is a great movie. The brought in some great voice over actors and actresses. James McAvoy as Gnomeo, and Emily Blunt for Juliet - they even brought in Ozzy Osbourne and Jason Statham.The movie will have you laughing at times, and sad at others - it definitely does a great job of bringing out the emotions. The animation is great - you sometimes forget that the characters are garden gnomes made of porcelain - but they do a great job of making sure that you that they are, from the way they look to the death of the characters - instead of blood and guts, it's just the shattered remains.Despite the movie being great, after I watched it once, I tried watching it again and it lost it's appeal. Maybe I will come back after a few months and try to watch it again and see if it's a re-watchable movie or just a one-time movie.
... View MoreThere's no need to introduce William Shakespeare or give any kind of history on him. He's a famed writer that has had many of his stories adapted into plays, musicals, TV shows and movies. If you're a real avid fan of Shakespeare, it'll be easier to distinguish various works and see if they were actually used in a story line. The thing is, for anyone who has read Shakespeare's work, it's also quite difficult to feel like it'll be a new experience because the story has already been performed before. Unfortunately, this is one of the films major flaws. The only thing it would be new to are the people who have never even heard of Shakespeare. That's a smaller demographic than the entirety of it.Thankfully, the film addresses this problem in a few ways that does make it enjoyable. First, the fourth wall is broken at the very beginning where a prologue is read to introduce the story. But instead, director Kelly Asbury, a writer who helped in the story of Beauty and the Beast (1991), keeps the story moving. Because the title pretty much speaks for itself, the story takes place in a garden where two conflicting families are of different colored Gnomes. Again, even with all the writers attached to this project, none could really lift the story from being exactly what could be predicted. It's a mix of an adult story with a childlike setting aimed for the younger demographic. It's obvious to the outcome. However, although this is a problem, the writers do cleverly incorporate other themes into the plot as well to help not make the execution feel so direct.An example of this is simulating various elements of our everyday lives into what a Gnome would do. It's not always funny but it is more than it is not. It's also cool that the Gnomes were kept delicate even though they could move. It made them sound more earth like. I although am curious how you could have a fluid moving ceramic simultaneously. The looks of the Gnomes also have a nice image. Most garden gnomes are old and scruffy, but here, even though they have beards, they still look huggable. And of course because they are the main leads, Gnomeo (James McAvoy) and Juliet (Emily Blunt) are a cute couple on screen. The voice cast is another well-established element. Michael Caine, Maggie Smith, Jason Statham, Ozzy Osbourne and even Hulk Hogan have a specific part. My favorite was Featherstone, the pink flamingo voice by Jim Cummings. For the Jim Cummings fans, it'll be easy to spot him because he voices Featherstone like that of Bonkers (1993). Very similar. The music had a nice touch. There are several references to Elton John's music, which is cool. One gnome even looks like Elton John. As for the film score, James Newton Howard's music is respective to the scenes that are put on screen but none provide a tune that is memorable by. It is good, but not wowing. A fun family picture with predictability.Because it is based on a Shakespeare work, it becomes predictable almost immediately. However this doesn't stop it from entertaining its audience. The voice cast is fun along with its unique setting and likable characters.
