And thus Artemis Fowl has entered realm of book franchises done dirty by film execs, joining Eragon, Percy Jackson, Divergent, and endless others
Eragon wasn’t even that bad tbh, just didn’t make enough money
The Alex Rider movie was meh. I heard the new series is good.
As long as they never do The Unwanteds and The Power of Five..........well I'd still be angry but not as angry.
@@TheRealJahan I liked Eragon too but my friends who read the books were very upset by it lol
@@TheRealJahan the CGI was good, liked the dragon. Didn't mind the first time when I watced it, but it was really poorly executed, lacking any fleshed out story and with flat characters.
"I was more into A Series of Unfortunate Events"
Doesn't that describe what you've just watched?
XD
I've read every book and as repititive as they are, they're still better than the Artemis Fowl film
*hahahahahaaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
cries
I was an all out animorphs kid when I was like 10.
@@doublefeatures6312 They got less repetitive after The Vile Village when the kids were on their own
last time I was this early Artemis fowl was just a good book
Lol I just saw atleast 4 of your comments in a row
So, like. Just a couple weeks ago then. :P
Wat the fung Is this? lol it was the first time i ever clicked on a video rin the first minute it was published so i was like it free real estate;)
Ineg Ghafa so you just gotta meme everything you say?
Basically
I watched this movie with my sister, who hasn’t read the books, and she thought the movie was terrible. Then there’s me, a huge fan of the books, who was completely devastated. It’s like they had a complete disregard for the source material, they changed so much it was damn near unrecognizable. I just don’t understand, who approved this shitshow 🤦🏾♂️
Holly and Artemis' friendship was so hard-fought for through Artemis' development of a conscience and empathy and her struggle to trust him once he gets there. I loved that. It meant a lot to me. They fucking annihilated that from space. It makes me so angry. Not to mention the "Dom" and "Arty" bullshit.
The thing that they made right from the book is the title. Lol
i read the books and as soon as i saw one character i was like, boi this movie is terrible.
Disney! Their bad at making live action movies like A Wrinkle In Time, The Nutcracker and the four realms, etc. Disney messed up big time with buying 20th Century Fox. I really don’t like Disney that much. I think that after Inside Out, Pixar lost its magic because I don’t feel like the other Pixar films. The MCU are hit or miss and Star Wars is pure trash with the new trilogy. The Force Awakens is just like A New Hope but add the existing characters and have new characters.
As a Percy Jackson fan, I can relate.
Disney Artemis Fowl is as smart as Netflix Light Yagami.
You mean “Light Turner” lol
I never watch it. How was the Netflix Death Note movie?
@@simiankleurde1544 Not worth your time, to say the very least.
@@simiankleurde1544 Beyond garbage. It's a damn shame. Light is a fucking idiot until the final scenes of the movie. L is black, and while that actor is good in many movies, this wasn't it. Willem Dafoe does Ryuk alright, but he's the only thing worth anything in this movie
@@simiankleurde1544 it's hilarious.
I read this book as a kid. This was a shambles of a movie. Even my little sister who was hyped as a kid said this was trash. Yikes
Same! Like I got SO excited when I found out it was released, but when I watched it I was heavily disappointed.
Yeah what’s the autolos? And why is Artemis the protagonist? This SSSUUUKKKKSSS
im irish, and live in wexford, and a my grannny is actually friends with eoin's mom
When I hear they changed appearances cut out storylines and combine multiple books and made people wait forever
Me: Holy crap it’s going to be the Percy Jackson movies all over again
Never read these books or even heard of the Artemis Foul franchise until now and this was literally my exact first thought.
*Avatar-The Last Airbender fans sad noises*
Percy Jackson was way way better, the first couple movies didn't have any combination storylines or 'much' cut storylines
And the casting was decent
@@unixpert321 the first couple...? There was two. The first one was ok, second one was hot garbage.
@@unixpert321 Yeah instead of cut storylines we got tampered with storylines and plotpoints filled with holes and stupidity woohoo
From the book:
[Artemis] every inch the gracious host, albeit a sinister, evil, intelligent, and determined one.
[Artemis had] made a joke. Now there's something that didn't happen everyday.
Artemis saw the pain in the creature's eyes... and for a moment he experienced misgivings. Then the moment passed and he was himself again.
Casting call for the movie: Artemis is warm-hearted and has a great sense of humour; he has fun in whatever situation he is in and loves life.
WTF.
The sinister and evil part was actually the writer. The director was his Butler, and together they perpetrated this horrific crime upon the populace specifically to steal millions of dollars from an enormously rich fantasy land (Disney) and only gave half of it back. (Holly's cut at the end of book one)
There's NOT going to be a sequel. This franchise is DOA.
DEAD ON ARRIVAAALLLLL
Dead or alive
Death of ASAP
Well which is it? Dead OR Alive?!? Don't keep us in suspense!
Done and finished....
I mean Danish Oatmeal is Amazing
Disney used to be so brave with its stories and traumatised the hell out of kids with their unique films that are so beloved the remakes/sequels are making billions. Now Disney feels bland and soulless.
That’s what happens when you get greedy and try to own every piece of entertainment under the sun. Walt Disney is rolling in his grave
@@UnclePhil1112 but he was racost and antisemetic sooo... better left where he belongs
@@evonne9938 Oh lawd, so we should just discredit all he did for the entertainment industry?
@@NaytGaming no, but we shouldn't ignore his racism and anti-Semitism. you can appreciate his work while still acknowledging the bad parts of his legacy
@@safegourd Yeh, i severely doubt the Song of the South is racist.
Artemis made a fowl move with this movie.
I'll let myself out.
😐
No, stay
👏wooo
👌
So.... I take it you got that quote from the original author of the movie script?
The reason why these movies struggle is because when someone writes a book, they use imagination, ingenuity, and smarts. But these execs only see either street cred, or dollar signs. They need to get people who know their material to come in and do these amazing stories the right way the first time.
The biggest problem is that the adaptors don't have faith that certain aspects would work. Artemis Fowl's biggest hurdle was honestly convincing focus testers that a child protagonist could be a villain character. From there, it's easy to see the chain of thought.
Well let's combine books, so we can have Artemis' character from later in the series when he has grown to be more of an anti-hero instead of a villain. Since we're combining books, we have to shorten other character arcs, like Roots and Holly's. Since we have to shorten those arcs, let's make Root female so we can say we have the same level of female representation. While we're at it, we can take Butler and make him black to get further PC points.
Philip Roberts and because it’s doesn’t sit right in this climate to call the only POC “butler” we are going to do the exact opposite of the books and have him go by “Dom”
The less people working on something, or the less who actually make decisions the more it can be what it needs to be and the more you can connect with it. The less creators the more harmony or dissonance you feel. If you read a book it's generally coming from one person so if it's amazing you can praise that person and feel connected but if it's awful you feel a sort of horror that's not really quite the same with huge studios. They don't want one person being in charge because it might end up hurting the company if they make a "bad" decision.
.
Chuck Sta. Maria I completely agree. Any “diversity/inclusion” just undermined those that were already written. Biggest example: Root being female. It abolishes Holly’s struggle to be one of the few, maybe even the only, female LEP. That’s a huge part of Holly’s arc and struggles but by making Root female you no longer see it.
YALLLLLL..... I LOVE how he's supposed to be a criminal mastermind when he didn't even know his FATHER was a criminal. In the book, Artemis is actually a criminal mastermind and it SHOWS. It's almost like no one on the production team for this movie even read the book, they just read the SparkNotes summary and a list of major characters on Wikipedia...
They didnt even read the notes, this was scripted by a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who's cousin knows another guy who thinks he read one of the books when he was 8 but isnt sure
exactly! i feel bad for the actor who played him, he is gonna need a career saving movie to come out soon or else he's gonna be screwed over by this movie and the horrible quality of it
Actually, when you examine the first 20 minutes closely it becomes evident that the film did originally stick with the book plot and depiction, and Artemis kidnapped Holly just for the Fairy Gold and not for the noble cause of rescuing his father. It becomes evident because close examination reveals extensive use of ADR and bizarre editing in order to remove the word "gold" and replace it with "Aculos". Yes, that's the reason they seemed to be wearing that word out in the first half hour. This is most evident when Arty says a line straight out of the books; when Root, in negotiation asks where she is supposed to find the Aculos (dubbed over the original word "gold"), he responds "From the pot at the end of the rainbow" which as anyone knows is where the gold is, and would make no sense that Fowl would suggest an item he'd never previously heard of was to be found there. In fact, catching all the times the movie substitutes "gold" with "Aculos" is more fun than the movie itself; there must be at least twenty such occasions in the first 20-30 minutes of the movie. My personal favourite is Roots' balcony address to the LEP ranks; for one substitution they simply cut to the back of her head for about a second (the abrupt and brief cuts are a handy clue to the presence of these inserts), and another time they simply put an unnecessarily big blue glowy sparkly neon fairy microphone obscuring her mouth. Very inventive.
So yes, clearly the initial script _did_ portray Fowl as a criminal as in the books. But just as self-evidently, at some point someone's arsehole went, and they removed his criminal aspect, thus making the character just someone with the same name as the Artemis Fowl of the book series, but no other real connection. And of course it meant that had the movie not sucked so hard in all other aspects and sequels were a possibility, they'd have left themselves with nowhere to go, no journey for Arty to take, no character development - a potential seven film series bombed out from the very inception! What _were_ Disney thinking??!
I’ve commented this on other videos, and I will say it again: Bro I can’t be the only one to think that Disney both slacked and rushed. Opals character wasn’t explained at all, so we have no idea why (spoilers) Artemis’ dad was kidnapped tbh. There wasn’t really a story of good vs evil, as the trailer made me think that it was the goblins vs the fairies (because of the fire breathing scene). If anything, the movie was just “kid helps fairies find something in his own house”. The trailer made it seem fantastical, but it was like Disney couldn’t decide between a kids movie and an actually interesting movie, not hitting either at all but hitting in between. This movie could have been a lot better than Disney had created it to be.
Oh I knew it would be atrocious from that first teaser, but the rest of what you said was pretty accurate.
This movie was one of the most awful things that has ever been created. The horrifying atrocity that is this purported adaptation of an excellent series may never be sufficiently despised.
true. they should've followed the script more
It should've been a LoTR length movie, that was actually good, instead of this movie
Facts
Honestly, it would’ve been a better series. I was so confused. They didn’t spend time explaining anything.
Honestly it didn’t need to be LoTR length. They just needed some solid idea of what the heck they wanted this movie to be. They watered down ALL the characters to shells of nothing who are uninteresting by getting rid of key stakes and traits that gave them depth and interest. And worst, they got rid of key rules in the magical world. Never, ever, ever should you mess with the rules of the world! By doing this they had to come up with largely dumb reasons for other things. It was an absolute mess.
It needed to be a series tbh. The books screamed series.
Sadly if the author had the money, he would've had a movie or two made about 13 years ago or so
This was the fatal blow for my opinion of Disney. I love Eoin Colfer’s works: Half Moon, Artemis Fowl... and the reason why is cause they didn’t treat you like a kid. They were books for teens not teen books. They had their own set of merits that made them worthwhile. THIS?? ARTEMIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ANTAGONIST. HE IS A PSYCHO. HIS DAD DOES NOT GIVE HIM EVERYTHINF, HE WORKED FOR IT, OBSESSIVELY. ANDDDD Disney REMOVED the messages regarding sexual and racial equality from the book WITH THEIR ATTEMPT TO DIVERSIFY THE MOVIE. Seriously... wtf... this is just insulting to me. I demand this movie be remade by someone who actually cares. Hell, give it to me. This only has me more terrified for the Disney+ version of Percy Jackson.
I'm terrified for the Kingdom Hearts show they're working on...
If it makes you feel better, Rick Riordan is supposed to be helping with the creation of Percy Jackson the Series. I dont think he would let them ruin his stories.
Agree with everything you’re saying. I’m infuriated they changed Holly’s story so much and changed Root. The whole thing is a shitshow and I’m mad about it. First Star Wars and now this. I’m about done with Disney. Shame can’t get Marvel or their old works unless you’re on Disney plus.
Right now Rick Riordan is working on the script for the pilot episode of Percy Jackson. So far everything he says he's planning on doing sounds promising.
@@open_window5705 That would make me feel better, if Colfer hadn't been involved with the Artemis Fowl movie.
I'm convinced Josh Gad was trying to audition for The Batman
Nah he's just trying to trash his career.
Ziggy Gunz You nailed it
@@ziggygunz2447 like it wasnt trash to start witj
And Judy Dench
I would be willing to believe that at least most of his screen time was actually originally filmed as an audition for Batman begins, and since it already existed, the dubbed over a couple of the names and just used the footage for the movie.
Artemis Fowl fans: "They absolutely botched the story and source material and misrepresented the characters and tried to fit in way too much in one film. What a waste of a wonderful franchise Aaargh! Dammit Hollywood"
Avatar: TLA, Eragon, Percy Jackson and Dragon Ball fans: "First time?"
There is no movie made from the avatar animated series
Surr3alD3sign yes there is it’s on Netflix and Netflix is making a live action remake
@@surr3ald3sign or DragonBall. I don't know what he's talking about; do you?
wait they already released a Percy Jackson adaption. Rick just announced it, what
James Hunt atla was my favourite show as a kid and Percy Jackson was my favourite book
*a perfect story line and script within the books*
The director: Yeah I’m not seeing much. Imma have to change ALL that.
It looks as if Disney Execs took over like they normally do now and screwed it all up.
The hell they did. A pain to even consider that someone thought this would be a good idea to adapt it like this.
This movie was a whole other level of bad
Avatar the last air bender movie bad
Logan Paul's airplane bad
Percy jackson movie bad
Tyson Jandreau why did you remind me of that
I don't get why you guys are naming awesome movies and then saying bad afterwords, is this some kind of millennial thing??
This movie had “Disney Channel Original Movie” energy but without the charm of being low budget.
the 'not butler whose last name is actually butler' is actually "Eurasian"
@Sidd K or dwayne "the rock" johnson
@@luongvunam3528 Both choices would have been a lot better than whom they chose.
Also he was supposed to never tell Artemis his real name, only going by "Butler", to avoid emotional involvement and to uphold a centuries-old professional tradition. He told Artemis his real name in book 3, when he was 100% sure he was for-real dying with no magic casters available to save his life.
But PC culture gave us black Butler, and calling a black man "Butler" for the entire movie would've gotten some Disney heads ROLLING
@@mrcombustiblelemon2902 not being sarcastic here. thank you very much for explaining this to me. I thought they only changed his name specifically to irritate me and anyone else who read the books. I missed the fact that Disney was trying to be PC, because I was busy losing brain cells, intelligence, and perhaps even sentience attempting to process the absolute garbage that was this film at the time....
@@mrcombustiblelemon2902 it's clear they never read the books, because the choices behind each character actually made sense then. Root was supposed to be a sexist drill sergeant type character, but to make Holly better and to prove she deserved to be there. Butler was supposed to be a butler, through and through.
Like I'm a full on leftist but because they changed character's races and sexes to be updated, the story fell flat and didnt make as much sense
Okay that Mulch line about "two hippos" got a chuckle out of me. Everything else is an abomination.
That's because it wasn't in the script. Josh Gad improvised that line on set.
I'm Irish and when I say I screamed when the fairy said "top of the morning" I screamed
so happy Saoirse Ronan was saved from this smh
I'll admit I only read the first book as a child so when I saw the trailer I thought I just hadn't been as invested in the universe to remember all the details. Now I realize it's just a buffet of books that were strung together. Thanks LME
Books are worth a re-read, for at least the first two or three. They’re short, original, and decently entertaining as an adult. There not like Dune or anything but they’re a good way to burn an afternoon
It's not even the plot of the books. The entire acculus thing the film revolves around is something the writers cooked up for some nebulous reason.
@@4xrandom867 They pulled a John Carter of Mars on this.
"Boi, you. are. a. child". 😂💀
"Right next to 'Animorphs'!" 😂😂😂
I LOVE your videos. You have inspired me to create my own content as well.
You have great content too bro
@@fernandogomez503 awe thank you😊
That line about Artemis being the antagonist in the books hurt.
The problem is that the protagonist can still very much be a criminal.
What make even less sense is he calls himself a criminal mastermind without stealing a single thing
Okay holly isn’t a literal child she’s 85.
Which, when you think about it, casts their whole semi-romantic relationship in a _really_ bad light. Probably why Colfer brought in Minerva later down the line.
But then Minerva went of with a skier
so Holly is a pedophile?
But in fairy terms she's a child
@@acriticaloversight They ultimately do not get together because she acknowledges their age and maturity differences and knows she is too old for him.
"This movie was so bad it killed me"
Yes it did
This series was my shit! Man, I'm sad they ruined this since they've been talking about it for years
I love how he says “I’m a criminal mastermind” at the end of the movie without breaking any non fairy law at that point
0:39 It sounds so much like he's saying "A series of abortion events".
I thought he hated it for a second there.
I have never in my life heard the phrase "that movie almost killed me" before.
Stick with the books.
They just took the name and made everything up
And the characters
This was my childhood. I could remember afternoons just choosing which actors and actresses would be perfect to play them. I disinctly remember a bias for it to be Asa Butterfield. I looked at fanart, read fanfiction, even made my own fanart and fanfiction. It meant a lot for me. And to see this movie be so hamfisted with the characters and plot just breaks my heart.
It should have been magical Die Hard, with Artemis as Hans Gruber.
I waited so long for this...
and it goofed and this was made by the guy that made a hamlet.
It's all your fault for not demanding it sooner!
I actually liked Kenneth Branaghs turn at Hamlet. Even the first Thor was ok compared to this steaming pile of shit.
“You have to give my man Nonso more roles than the young adult baby sitter roles [specifically in fantasy/sci-fi IP adaptations] you’ve been giving him.”
*looks up Netflix adaptation of Sweet Tooth*
Oh no.
Funny how they just forgot about Artemis Mom
Nope, specifically says she died before the events of the movie :/
Since the dad hasn’t gone missing in the beginning of the movie I guess that’s why he’s in therapy???
They specifically did not forget about the mom, as it could be argued that she was still in the house, and therefore they were still sort of following the books. They went out of their way to let us know that she had died so that we could know that they had also burned those pages in the original books which they were given ...
Yeah no, they knew. They just killed her off so they wouldn't have to deal with her story.
@Cheese Burrito Exactly my point.
This just reinforces my hope that nobody gets their hands on Fablehaven.
As an avid fan of the series, so much so that it still sits on my shelf, and is in my top 10 list of books. I gave up on the movie the moment I saw the trailer. I was so confused by the mashing together of the first three books, I thought there had been a new release, and to see if I was missing something.
Sadly, I was not.
RIP this series, it's now just another name on a list of great series done dirty.
I feel sorry for the kid who plays the main character but his acting is terrible.
Yeah his acting was atrocious in every way, he lacked any kind of emotion, he didn't show off his apparent 'intelligence' and was generally a dislikeable character. What a disappointment of a film.
@@KamisatoElias Part of that was the writing, this movie did a lot of "tell, don't show".
Also it was his first movie
Yeah I’ll have to agree with the people here as well. As an actor, writing and the roles I’m assigned totally impact my acting, but I noticed that this kid wasn’t great at doing anything emotional. However, with good direction, he could play a great cold, antagonistic character which is what the books describe.
Elias Simpson to be fair, he wasn’t meant to show emotion according to the books so I don’t see that as a problem.
The “goofed” says it all 😔✌️
Remember The Chronicles of Narnia , just thought id remind you guys of a good disney book adaptation.
As a person that read and loved the entire artemis fowl series in my childhood, I wish I never saw this video
Second. But that's not really important is it
Anyways, the AF movie was awful, and as a fan I'm just plain disappointed.
Bro, my brother showed me the trailer for this (we've both read the books) and the only thing I could say, from JUST the trailer was, "I think they got the name right," and now, I realize that they didn't even do THAT with Butler.
The lady complains about typecasting holly as a white chick but fails to recognize that Butler was a white Slavic man.
He's European with Asian descent, and the fact that he was typecast into a black servitude role is really worrying. Holly was canonically described as having "nut-brown skin", so making her white in this movie makes no goddamn sense.
I love how nobody I’ve seen talk about this movie has commented about how it’s impossible to beat someone at chess in 5 moves
Well, not if your opponent concedes. But, besides that, there are a LOT of other more important things to be talking about in regards to this film. And all of it is bad.
Beating a chess master in five moves is still a more accurate story than this pile of flaming garbage. In a normal movie, that would have been a glaring inaccuracy. In this movie, it ranged somewhere between not worth mentioning, and a refreshing glass of water. this is like when you get invited to a kid's birthday party, and Satan bursts into the room, and people forget to mention that it wasn't actually on the kid's birthday. The thing about chess moves was simply wrong. The rest of the movie was hellishly atrocious, nauseating, and physically painful.
Zero Policy if you opponent concedes, you didn’t win by skill, you won by default
@@laundrybasketgamers Beating a Grandmaster in 5 moves by forcing a concede is *technically* a win by default, but doing something like that requires skill.
Being able to sufficiently distract a Grandmaster enough to blind them to one of the fastest wins possible definitely takes skill. But it doesn't actually matter. Because the movie implied the win was an actual strategy, which is actually impossible.
Like I said, not the only thing this movie got wrong. And by FAR not the worst.
Zero Policy maybe Artemis fowl did five moves and then threatened the opponent after the fifth move. I don’t know, Artemis fowl doesn’t seem actually smart enough in that movie to actually make someone concede
When there’s still no on my block season 3 LME 🙃😭
Recasting Root as Ron Pearlman in slightly modified hellboy makeup in my head
Dangit, I LOVED those books growing up too 😔
The one part of the movie that you liked, how Artemis had a plan and everything, yeah that's what made the books so good. They focused on the plan and every book it's just even more of a mindfuck. They were SO good
I'm glad the are other "Series of Unfortunate Events" readers out there. They book has made me the misanthrope I am today.
“i can honestly say they... used the budget”
Hey at least Rick Riordan is writing for the Percy Jackson series on Disney +
Wtf? Are they making more? Didn’t they learn from the failure of the sea of monsters?
wayne wayne yeah, that’s why Rick’s in charge
i can’t be the only one to see the parallel between that scene where the dwarf stretches his mouth with that Grave encounters monster
0:48-0:58 wow that sounds like another movie that I know that was based off of a much beloved book series *cough cough* percy jackson *cough cough*
And John Carter of Mars. They fucking mangled that story.
"Boy. You are a child."
The amount of people that commented first is staggering
First reply to your comment
Third!
They're just trying to be as accurate as the movie that this video is about. It's difficult to intentionally create something as horrendously inaccurate and agonizingly reminiscent of a flaming dumpster as this film, but being the 12th person in commenting first is certainly headed in the right direction...
In the entire movie Judy Dench looks like an old senior home patient that’s always waiting to have their adult diaper changed. They could have done something to give her a little more movement.
The thumbnail told me everything.
The best line in the whole movie was “ top of the morning “
There's some trend about ruining book series buy turning them into movies. Look at Percy Jackson y'all. Some stories are just better as books.
Judi Dences Irish accent puts me as an Irish person dead in a grave
since when was "This movie was so bad it killed me" a saying?
other than that, yes, this movie was a big empty bag of trash
That seems pretty inconsiderate to bags of trash in general... this movie was like that episode of Monk when the garbage workers all went on strike....
I love the Artemis Fowl books and was a bit excited when i found out they were adapting it to film but i was also wary as i hated what they did to Percy Jackson then i saw the trailer and my fears were realised. Honestly i at this point i think Artemis Fowl would be brilliant as an anime series it would flow better and you could stay true to the books.
Can Disney please stop screwing up my childhood?
The biggest crime was giving everyone British accents. It is clearly stated over and over again that Artemis and his family are Irish, they live in Dublin, and have Irish accents. Butler and his family are Eurasian and have accents accordingly as well (Russia/Central Asian accents)
The guy who plays Artemis Jnr is from Dublin but now lives in Kilkenny
Is there an in-book reason for why this boy has the name of a goddess?
Yes
idk what his parents were thinking, but when a villain in the third book makes fun of him for it, Artemis explains that’s its generally used for huntresses, but once in a while a male comes by deserving of the title; basically he hunts down people and secrets, for good or bad.
It's his dad's name.
the way you described the second half almost made it sound good. Then I realized that I already watched this movie, and was in literal pain while doing so.
This movie makes me angry...
AND I HAVEN'T EVEN READ THE DAMN BOOKS!
The casual "Heimdall-s a secret door" got me
So Artemis Fowl is foul?
good one
Judy sounds like a Darlict bot rallying it's troops to attack Dr Who lol
*Dalek, and it's not a robot.
Just looked like a generic "Young kid has immensely advanced technology" movie to me, was never interested anyways
Firby V it’s way better in the books because all of his advanced technology is just tech he stole/out-witted from the actual advanced faerie society
The story is meant to be about Artemis being this completely maladapted genius child with a shitty moral compass
@@sej3991 Well to be fair the movie made him off to be a spoiled asshole that had zero character development so that's close to what you said.....kinda lol
every time Arturo says "boy", you can feel the sass and down-talk hahahaha
This movie actually seems worse than you're making it out to be 😂.
Prince David Jimoh-Ailoje trust me it is
Sounds like a 2000s Disney channel movie with an extra budget
This movie just looks fowl👀 ight I'm out🚶♂️
My dad was tryna get me to watch this earlier but i was literally falling asleep
Count yourself lucky. The next time he asks you to watch it with him, I recommend going to walk across some Legos with him instead. Less agonizing and all that...
Wtf is with Jr’s voice. Or anyone’s voices in this movie. Are they trying to have an ACCENT??? Bruh his accent is trash. I’m sorry. But I’m saying how it is.
The only decent accent was Colin Farrel. And that’s because he has a natural Irish accent.
The kid who plays Artemis is Irish 😳
sunny days then that’s an even bigger yikes
Some of them have normal modern Irish accents. Some of them are trying to sound like batman.
I haven't watched the movie, but Artemis sounds about as intimidating as a sandwich. In the books he was like a powerful adult while here he's just some normal-ass kid.
"boy... you are a child" lmaooooo HAHAH
"The last thing he wanted" should be on your list of explaining!!
Take a shot every time you say "Wait, that's ___?"
Wait, that's Root?
Wait, that's Foaly?

Dam this is the quickest video I've ever watched from your channel and you have 5 minute videos as well lmao
You literally posted this vid RIGHT after i was done watching it. And this movie had me confused. It felt like it was over before any plot played out.
All I'm gonna say, is that I read these books when I was in Jr high and I loved them, I spent the entire year reading this series over and over again. Then I see this thing and it really breaks my heart. They had such a huge chance to turn this into a credible long running movie series and give proper homage and work with the actual story line, but instead they just shoehorn it together to make money off a tv show. This is giving me flashbacks to the Percy Jackson and Divergent debacle series. Disney!! For the love of all that is holy, cancel this pile of steaming hot crap and make a proper film series!!
In my head, I always pictured Butler as a very Hagrid-like presentation.
It’s always a short British boy who gets the superpowers
