They should have made a new title instead of ruining the IP. This movie has nothing remotely close to original story other than the names and outlines. Let alone the poor dialogues, editing and consistency. There are no emotional development, no character development, no story other than pass the plot point in original books.
Diverging from the book, Artemis, whose in the movie was set up as smart observative child. But we only saw him in 1 scene that he demonstrate such ability. Rest of the movie he was reduced to be a screamish kid running around the house. Holly has the weakest character that goes everywhere from good to gullible to chaotic (and btw holly should be an Elf not just fairy). Butler ,whose describe as killing machine, was reduced to the police man in Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs for comedy relief (at a very cringy timing.) Juliet was almost have no screen time and doesn't matters to the plot so why put her in the movie baffles me.
And whoever wrote Mulch dialogue played too much Dragon Age that they treat him like Varric narrating half the story.
And the worse is this movie just seems like it was wholly designed to be a ride in amusement park, similar treatment to Tomorrow Land.
