What to Know

Critics Consensus

A would-be franchise-starter that will anger fans of the source material and leave newcomers befuddled, Artemis Fowl is frustratingly flightless.

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

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

2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

While Artemis Fowl, Jr. (Ferdia Shaw) does say those exact words—“I’m a criminal mastermind”—at the end of the film, there is nothing in the movie that explains why Artemis might think that or why the audience should believe him. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

A fruitless franchise launch for a series I doubt we will ever see again. Go to Full Review

David D @RT13699629 7h 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 John L @RT18609260 2d The only thing based on original source material were the character names. Just like Enders game. See more thiago S @Thiagostone Mar 16 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Lucas B @Psychphransisco Feb 25 It's horrible insult to the source material. The acting was atrocious and the casting choices hardly fit the source characters. In all honesty you could change the title and character names and I might not even know it was based off of the book series. Absolute trash See more Enlang C @MangoNoah Dec 18 Ts pmo untuff ahh sh i'd rather watch 1 hour of khaby lame mechanism woth "brother noah" playong in the background along with subway surfers gameplay and niche fruits and maybe skibidi toilet ts pmo dih ahh movie🥀🥀🥀🪫🪫🪫🪫👺👺👺👺💔💔💔💔 See more Charlie L @RT02055452 Nov 16 This is the best movie I have ever seen. Disney finally did a good job with doing fantasy in their movies. The acting, the effects, all of it was absolutely thrilling and stunning. Best movie ever 10/10 would definitely recommend.
