Artemis fowl is supposedly an adaptation of a popular young adult book by Eoin Colfer with the same name. According to the book, Artemis Fowl is an anti-hero who is not afraid to use and harm others, and was, ultimately partly motivated by greed. The author himself made this clear. The character sketched by Eoin Colfer was complex and dark. The director of the movie decided that the audience can't handle such a dark character and hence the Artemis Fowl we see in this movie came to being. This Artemis Fowl is not something we can call an anti-hero but a hero. Here, the MC is not waging war against the fairies because of his greed [or any dark intentions] but with a pure intention of saving his father from a proposed villain. This itself changed who the real Artemis Fowl is. He is no longer cunning but yes, a genius perhaps. Well, if you want the MC to do something evil [I don't know if u can call it evil but let's just put it that way] it is kidnapping a fairy who is the FMC. Another reason why this movie is so bad is the acting itself! I personally was deeply dissatisfied with the acting. It was plain and boring. It felt like even a great actress Judi Dench didn't know how to act. Most of the acting felt unreal.

I strongly recommend this book for children and adults. One of best books of Sudha Murty. It talks about life morals that people at any age should know. Everything she learned from many people whom she met in her life. It discusses about the key events and advises she got from her childhood to adulthood, from a employ at TEL-CO to the India's 1st and largest it company's chairperson, from a benevolent teacher to a critical thinker, from a wife to a mother. her journey has been long and satisfying.. The book explains the incidents in which she once had to teach her grandmother to read, she promised her grandfather to build a library, how the young activist inside the young Sudha decided to send a letter to JRD Tata and son Funny, spirited, and inspiring each of the these stories teaches a valuable lesson about the importance of doing what you believe is right and having the courage to realize your dreams.

In my view, a Jackie Chan movie usually have a humour with it, but in this I think it lacks this factor or more likely the humour here is not that convincing. I felt like the movie being quiet similar to a Bollywood historical drama. It wasn't as thrilling as it seemed to be. I felt that the female lead didn't know anything about acting. It was rather irritating to see her smile all the time. The only thing that I felt convincing is the twist in the climax. It gives a great message. Well I don't want to spoil this for anyone. The fight sequence were entertaining.

"The Little Engine That Could" is a book by Watty Piper for children. It has been an all-time favourite and motivating children's classic book. It shares a lot of valuable lessons about determination and the gut to keep trying. Once a bunch of toys with good food decided to travel over the mountain to deliver themselves and the food to the children on the other side. They set up a small engine to pull the load. They went happily for a while, but soon they reached the mountain, and the engine broke down. The leader of the toys, a funny clown decided to find a way to reach the other side of the mountain. He and the other toys asked all the engines that came by to stop and to help. None of the engines was willing to help them as they thought themselves as too good to pull their load or too weak to do so. The toys did not give up, they kept on looking for an engine and that when a small blue engine came by. It did decide to help them despite its weak features. With its determination and will she pulled the load to the other side of the mountain. Here we have two protagonists. If the clown and the other toys we're not ready and determined to find a replacement for their broken train this would not happen. If they gave up on the search and went back and gave up on the idea of delivering themselves and good food to the children on the other side when the first few engines refused, then they would never be able to deliver themselves and the delicious food to the other side of the engine. When all the stronger engines said they cannot, the small blue engine said I can. This inspires many. There are many people out there who think they cannot do anything because of their physical disabilities or just because somebody just said you cannot. The little blue engine has proved that if we believe in ourselves and do our best, then nothing is impossible in this world. The engine had faith in herself, and so despite the fact that she was an engine who pulls trains to replace engines or boogies, she was willing to give it a try, which many of us don't do. This also can be interpreted in another way, many of us think some people around us or in our society can not be acceptable because they have a weak or poor physical appearance. But I assume, taking this story into account, it's long that we changed that thought about such people. The engines which resisted to help the toys thought themselves as too good to pull the load as they only pull AC compartments or mechanical loads. Even these arrogance engines teach us not to be like them. They expressed an attitude. We should never see ourselves too high and low. In a perspective, most characters in this story have something or the other that we should learn from. The faith that the blue engine had in herself is the thing that we should learn from her. The gut to keep trying to find the engine to pull them to the other side and unwilling to give up is a personality trait that we all really need to impart and train ourselves from the clown and the train. And last but not the least, the lesson that we should learn from the engines who refused to help the toys is that never show attitude to somebody younger than you, or think yourself too high or low. At the end of the day, we should never be like the other engines who refused to help the toys.

I found this as a very pleasing movie. Like any other Disney movie, this too has a strong message for its audience. But in my judgment, the real message it expresses is different from that of the synopsis. It teaches us a very important lesson, that the control over fate is in our hands and it's not pre-written. It also successfully indicates the gender principles that prevailed then and now. The movie is a good example of showing the great daughter mother relation. In my impression, this movie suits people of all time. I must say, they succeeded in bringing the Scottish feel throughout the movie. I am using this alternative, to congratulate, compliment and thank the crew and Disney for such an adorable movie. I give it 3 stars.

The last witch hunter portrays Vin Diesel in a different and likable role. I liked the plot. It is convincing. This movie is about the adventures of Kaulder a immortal and the last witch hunter. This movie has quiet a lot of suspense in store for the viewers. It is able to transform the viewer from one world to another world within seconds. The director has done a really good job. Honestly, it is quite extraordinary to see as Dom, the street fighter ( fast and furious) as Kaulder, the witch hunter. This movie shows another face of the witch world. It's completely different from the Harry Potter series and the Fantastic Beasts. In my opinion it's a good and convincing difference.

Guardians of the Galaxy is actually funny but at the same time interesting too. it narrates about how the Gardians of the Galaxy(Gamora, Star Lord, Drax, Groot, Rokect) team up and how they save the planet of Xander from it being destroyed by Ronan using the one of the most destructive infinity stone, power stone on the planet. Like very marvel movie this too carries some moral. it shows us the important of team work as well as that of friendship.
