Leave your thoughts about Artemis Fowl.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThough it would have been lovely to take in the lavish set pieces and the cool CGI creations and the whiz-bang action sequences on the big screen, Artemis Fowl still plays well as a warm and funny and entertaining at-home family viewing experience. |
| USA TodayBrian TruittRather than being a massive foul-up, Artemis Fowl is a sufficient spycraft fantasy that could benefit from the inevitable sequel, and Gad proves once again to be the Mouse House’s Dwayne Johnson, a rock-solid personality who makes everything around him better. |
| Boston GlobeMark FeeneyOne wonders if a director more playful than Kenneth Branagh might have come up with something less hectic and more fun — or even just as hectic and more fun. Taika Waititi, anyone? Jojo Rabbit is almost as odd a name as Artemis Fowl. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThere are people who like movies like this, who like when a movie screen looks like their computer screen and who don’t mind when everything is fake, including the emotions. Artemis Fowl is a genre movie, and as such, it’s an OK version of the thing it is. I just can’t stand the thing it is. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgArtemis Fowl is not a horrible film, but it had the potential to succeed, yet falls flat in the end. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliAlthough the problem lies primarily in the difficulties associated with condensing an epic tale into a short-ish movie, the lack of elegance with which that is accomplished makes Artemis Fowl a failure for anyone hoping for the next great fantasy film. |
| CNNBrian LowryArtemis Fowl isn't an unqualified good egg, but it's perfectly adequate, and the best of the kid-friendly movies redirected to streaming by coronavirus -- a low bar, admittedly, after "Trolls World Tour" and "Scoob!" |
| TheWrapSteve PondWhile an energetic kids’ fantasy with cool creatures fighting each other is probably a reasonable win for Disney’s new premium service in these days before most theaters reopen, it’s hard to watch it as an adult and not wish for something that produced a little more magic of its own. |
| Total FilmJordan FarleyWithout the darkness or depth of the Harry Potter movies, Artemis Fowl fails to find an audience over 10 years old |
| IGNDavid GriffinDisney's Artemis Fowl is an empty science fantasy tale with forgettable characters and an uninspired story. |
