Artemis Fowl


Based on the book series and character of the same name, the story details the adventures of Artemis Fowl II (Ferdia Shaw), a 12-year-old Irish prodigy who teams up with his family’s faithful servant and bodyguard, a kleptomaniac dwarf and a fairy reconnaissance officer looking to prove herself to help rescue his father, Artemis Fowl I, who has been kidnapped by a gang of fairies looking to reclaim a mysterious weapon known as the Aculos that the Fowl family is accused of having stolen.

There is a reason why Disney took this off the movie release schedule and debuted it on Disney Plus.  Because this was really bad.  Like really bad.   Like I can't believe that this would have been the Memorial Day weekend movie if there was no coronavirus.  That is just not okay.  And with such an awesome cast like this?  Unreal.  This was such a wannabe Harry Potter meets Men In Black kind of thing and failed in every way.   Very disappointing.

I wouldn't recommend people bother with this.  After getting delayed a year and then put on a streaming platform instead of wide release as a later date was clearly all for a reason.
