Review of Artemis Fowl (2020) by Tosikuvesi — 17 Nov 2020

For those who haven't read the books, this would be a kinda mediocre fantasy film with cool CGI and passable plot.

For those who had read the books and wanted a story about a super genius orphan kid, who is always on the top of the situation, and his big and scary bodyguard, this is more of a massacre. Artemis comes off as more of an average kid, he panics, runs around screaming and constantly worries about daddy. Meanwhile the muscular Russo-Korean bodyguard got replaced with a pudgy black guy, who rather than instilling fear of beating you up just mainly makes you worry about the safety of your lunch.

In short, this is the unholy trinity of bad casting, terrible acting and horrible directing.
