The first reviews for Disney Plus’ film “Artemis Fowl” have been released, and they are generally negative. Critics have expressed disappointment with the movie, calling it a messy and poorly executed adaptation of the beloved children’s book series by Eoin Colfer. They highlight various issues such as a confusing plot, weak character development, and a lack of excitement. Many also criticize the mismatch between the dark tone of the books and the film’s family-friendly approach. Overall, the verdict is that “Artemis Fowl” falls short of expectations, failing to capture the charm and magic of the original story..
The first reviews are streaming in for Artemis Fowl, and things aren’t looking good. The movie is currently at 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, with sixty three reviewers having weighed in. Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times commented that: “Anyone looking for entertaining young-adult fantasy adventure might as well move along. There’s nothing to see here.” Kate Erbland, the deputy film editor at IndieWire, takes it even further by saying that: “The best scene is one in which its grating narrator farts on a passerby.” Wow, and I thought I was harsh.
Artemis Fowl is an adaptation of a series of novels from author Eoin Colfer. The series follows the story of a young, wealthy genius, who stumbles upon the secret of a race of fairies living under the Earth’s surface and decides to exploit the discovery for profit. After the trailer’s release, fans of the book felt it wasn’t a good representation of the series, since Artemis was generally presented as an anti-hero in the books, but Disney has decided to give him the hero treatment instead. The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Colin Farrell, Nonso Anozie and Judi Dench.
Standing at 14% means that not all the reviews are bad, with nine reviewers having rated it as fresh at the time of this article. The common consensus from those who liked it seems to be that they found it entertaining and a competent family-friendly adventure. The film makes its debut on Disney Plus on June 12, 2020, so more reviews are set to come pouring in over the weekend, which might push things in a more favourable direction.
