Review of Artemis Fowl (2020) by Theredsky — 05 Sep 2020
Come on Disney. They aren’t even trying at this point. It’s a shameless cash grab that shouldn’t even exist. I have read the original novel and this takes that novel and tarnishes it. I don’t mind movies taking their source material and changing it.
The Shining is one of my favorite films of all time and it changes the original book but they made a story that was interesting. This movie changed the story into the most bland, unoriginal, and boring story of the year.
It’s kind of insulting to the original novel. None of the performances are good. Judi Dench and Josh Gad feel so out of place here and Colin Farrell does absolutely nothing. The dialogue is cringy and the action is dull.
The shots are uninteresting and the sequence of events is repetitive and boring. I thought nothing would be worse than Dolittle but here we are. At least Dolittle was somewhat entertaining in how bad it was but this is so much worse.
