So I am an Artemis Fowl novel lover and I understand changing some things due to funding or movie time, however just like the failure of the Eragon movie, the changes made here were unnecessary and mix different Artemis books together. The plot and character backgrounds were off and story lines from other books in the series were put into one movie. It did not work for me. I liked some of the casting, and some of the effects. it could have been a really great film.
