Yo M @Seizy Sep 26, 2026 Some shockers if you know the books: The movie starts by showing Artemis on a surfboard. Commander Root is a woman. Butler is displayed as a father figure and mothers Artemis. Oh and also instead of being the most inconspicuous looking 2 meter tall eurasian, he is a black man with shiny white hair and bright blue eyes. Artemis doesn't care for money and doesn't even find out about the fairy people on his own, but through some exposition by his father, who isn't a ruthless criminal in this movie either. Holly is incredibly flat and there is close to no sign of her reasoning. The plot is told almost exclusively through dialogue. Nothing of importance is ever shown to sell a character or proposition. Everything is just explained by third characters. The film makers didn't even get the "no fairies allowed while I'm alive" part of Artemis' plan, which is the whole Point of the entire plan. This is the worst film adaption of a novel I've ever seen.

Lo único que esta película comparte con la obra original es el título. Esta "cosa" no fracasó por cambiar detalles del libro, sino por eliminar los mecanismos narrativos que hacían funcionar la historia. Jamás informan la regla que impide a las hadas entrar en una propiedad humana sin autorización. Esa única regla explicaba por qué Artemis permanecía en la mansión y por qué sus enemigos no podían simplemente imponer su superioridad. La grandeza de Artemis estaba en convertir las fortalezas del enemigo en desventajas y usar sus propias reglas en su contra. Anulaba una diferencia de poder abrumadora y obligaba a sus rivales a abandonar el terreno de la fuerza para enfrentarlo en el suyo: la estrategia. Si hubo tiempo para inventar escenas que contradicen al personaje, también lo había para explicar la regla que lo definía. Una absoluta falta de respeto a la obra, al público y al medio cinematográfico. El concepto de "mala adaptación" en su máxima expresión.

Ao transformar um anti-herói brilhante num protagonista genérico, o filme perde todo o charme, afogando-se num mar de CGI confuso, atuações sem sal e um roteiro sem pés nem cabeça que cansa rapidamente. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 21, 2026 Artemis Fowl is a terrible adaptation that takes a decent novel and drains out nearly everything that made it worth reading. What should have been a clever, exciting fantasy adventure instead becomes a lifeless, rushed mess with no real sense of tone, tension, or charm. The story feels chopped up and confused, like it is speeding through major plot points without giving any of them time to breathe. The characters are flattened beyond recognition, and the film strips away the intelligence and personality that should have made Artemis stand out. The world-building, which should have been the biggest selling point, is handled in a way that feels cheap and incomplete. Overall, this is a frustrating, disappointing, and completely unnecessary adaptation that wastes its source material almost immediately. It is easily a 0/10. See more David D @RT13699629 Mar 25, 2026 Watch about 30 mins of it and I think some of the actor/actress choices were good. Root should have been changed to the female flight commander so we could still have Judi dench in it while keeping Roots character male. Heck just keep the original story but swap Roots character with the flight commander. In the 30 mins I have seen this is not as so many people have said correct to the books. Fowls are criminals and Artemis knew this. Should’ve made this into to a mini series movie or show with first book and second correctly done. See more Read all reviews
