It differs way too much from the source material, takes away different characters motivations and in general a poor adaptation. I understand things have to change from source material to screen but to change the entire story? This is not the Artemis Fowl we grew up with and grew to live, this is a little boy who doesn't know what he's doing.
Nothing against the actors, they were limited with what they could do and it shows on screen but Disney, please, do it again but better. Or give it to someone else.
