Artemis Fowl (2020) ducks its obligations and gives fans of the books the bird.
"...the underwhelming character work is set, like nuggets of corn in a turd, in a film so haphazardly plotted and ugly to look at that even fans of the book, steeped in the lore, will be hard-pushed to recognised all of the elements being thrown onto the screen. For a book series so notable for the ingenuity and intricacy of its world-building, it’s astonishing how perfunctory the effort is to bring that world to understandable life on screen..."

"I hate to say it, but it’s one that I starred in — is Independence Day. I was so happy about that film, because, first of all, it grossed close to $1 billion worldwide back in the day, and it really was a great film. To see Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum — to see an African-American and a Jewish guy save the world — I just love that. It was so cool. And the fact that I was a stripper that got to save the First Lady. It just had so many elements of people that normally don’t become people’s heroes save the world."

"I saw this with my parents as a very young child in the seventies, on television, and I never forgot it. I went back to it over the years on VHS and DVD, but this Criterion edition is quite a rediscovery. It’s an unusual VistaVision beach western with unstable and elusive racial narrative elements. It’s also the product of star power and a studio willing to go along, with reportedly messy results, but I see nothing wrong with this film. I like it a lot. Brando is wonderful in it, both as a director and as a star."

Why is Dumbledore shouting? (0 more)
DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!?!
Um, what happend here? Dumbledore. Does. Not. Shout! His insanely calm under pressure attitude is such a trigger for Harry later, and this one ridiculous display of anger undermines a character we have been understanding for three years.
Rushed plot aside (its double the size of the last book!) it feels like it is missing a lot of heart and soul, and elements make no sense.
It was a disappointment to say the least, and compared to the others, I think the weakest one.
