Artemis Fowl

Lots of things happen but nothing unfolds. It's like watching a feature-length trailer for a film that doesn't exist.

The mischievous glint in [Judi Dench]'s eyes is Artemis Fowl's only nod to irony and self-awareness.

A sense of indecision hangs over the whole exercise, starting with the screenplay, which has four names attached. Nobody seems to know how funny they're meant to be.

This big-ticket Disney movie is a visual spectacular expertly assembled but it looks unlikely to be remembered as an all-time classic.

A fun, fleeting, rather flimsy romp...it doesn't have classic qualities, but it works if you take it for what it is: a 95-minute supernatural fantasy...

Artemis Fowl is a criminal waste of time.

One of the worst feature films Disney has ever created. As much as it hurts me to write this, Ferdia Shaw delivers one of the worst young performances I’ve ever witnessed, but the embarrassment is shared by everyone involved in this atrocious mess.

A fruitless franchise launch for a series I doubt we will ever see again.

This Artemis Fowl is neither criminal nor mastermind. He's just a kid who sort of reacts to things throughout this movie.

Artemis Fowls efforts come off as if it came from a movie world of yesteryear. While the concept of a world outside of ours filled with fairies, trolls, and creatures was impressive at the turn of the century, its not enough in 2020.
