“Since this movie had been really poorly received, I wasn’t expecting much but since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, after ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’, I’m afraid it was another pathetic attempt from Kenneth Branagh to launch a new franchise. Eventually, by releasing it on their streaming platform, it seems that Disney dodged a bullet because it is pretty obvious that it would have been a major flop if it would have been released theatrically. To be honest, I have to admit that I wasn’t really familiar with the book it was adapted from but, with ‘Thor’, Branagh already tried to make a movie mixing our world with a 2nd fantasy world. However, here, this mix never worked though. I mean, after maybe 20 mins, we finally got to see the fai” read more

“FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Artemis Fowl is one of my absolute favourite books, second only to A Villain's Night Out by Margaret Mahy. I've been waiting for a film adaptation ever since I first read it in 2004, when I was fifteen, so imagine how excited I was when I heard that one was finally on the way. I was a tad sceptical that Disney was in charge of it, but I remained hopeful even through the numerous delays that ended up pushing it back almost a full year. However, that optimism was almost completely crushed when the trailer was released. I didn't watch it myself because I generally try to avoid trailers, but the reactions were almost universally negative. That public reaction persisted when the film itself was finally released, so I was not very enthusiastic going into this movie.Ha” read more
Movies the giraffe watched in 2020: June (28 movies items)"First viewing - June 12th I recall seeing the first trailer for Artemis Fowl in the theatre with the kiddo and we both thought it looked pretty good. At that point neither of us had read the books. She eventually sought out the first book and read it, whereas I still haven't given them a look. Thus I can't compare it to the source material. However, neither of us enjoyed it much. The actor playing the titular role is dreadful, the script rolls along like it's ticking off boxes instead of tryi"

“Probably should have just made it a Disney Plus series. Movies try to fit too many books into one film.
Though, you’re better off just listening to the Richard Roeper review. This movie really isn’t deserving of only 14% good reviews.
It is nice to get a Summer movie at home. Artemis Fowl isn’t as magical as a Harry Potter movie. It is a nice present to enjoy at home. When you can’t go to theaters though.
I can’t say Artemis Fowl is bad or as bad as a movie that has gotten 14% good reviews. There’s more story than a Bayforners film.
If you think about it, what classic Fantasy from the 80’s did critics actually like ? So why listen to people who hated the Labyrinth, Return to Oz, Willow, The Neverending Story....
