Review of Artemis Fowl (2020) by Bredelin — 14 Aug 2020

Never in my life have I seen such a bad movie based on such brilliant books.

The Casting went crazy. Holly is a kid, Butler and his sister are black (with irritating blue eyes), Mulch is taller than Artemis, Root is a woman?

I mean. I don't have a problem with having a cast which isn't just all white/all male a.s.o. but this went too far.

Artemis II. was ok. And I think Foaley and Artemis Sr. were fine but all other main characters? Nope not with me. Regarding the Story itself its just a hoax. I wasn't even able to tell what they were up to.

An the characters? Since when would Mulch tell some MI6 agents anything about elves, Artemis or something else? (maybe it was another plan, I just weren't able to finish this piece of **** since when would Holly let Mulch steal her purse?

Why on earth did they have to change so much and **** this up?

I mean thsi could have been the next really great movie collection for people from 10-99. The next "Harry Potter". The Books are great. But this movie? It's not even a trash movie like Eragon which just won't fit the books but works for itself. It's garbage and should be burnt and never shown again.

I feel sorry for the actors and most other people involved. I mean, it's not just Judy Dench who I adore, there must have been plenty of people working on that project and it must be frustrating to see what garbage came out of it.
