“#Artemis Fowl<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

It took 20 years for an \u201cArtemis Fowl\u201d movie to come out, and now that it\u2019s here, the film itself feels like it\u2019s in a hurry to be over already.<\/p>\n

After cycling through various directors and script<\/a>s, getting mired in the Harvey Weinstein morass and postponed following both the Disney\/20th<\/sup>\u00a0Century Fox merger and the Coronavirus pandemic, the film version of Irish author Eoin Colfer\u2019s beloved tween fantasy series<\/a> is nothing if not resilient, and now arrives under less-than-ideal circumstances in streaming form. But Kenneth Branagh\u2019s big-budget extravaganza, based on a screenplay by Conor McPherson and Hamish McColl, is a glossy and empty exercise in world-building. It crams elements of the first two books into a running time that\u2019s just shy of 90 minutes, sacrificing character development and real drama for briskness and whimsy. The premise isn\u2019t all that complicated\u2014there\u2019s an underground world of fairies, trolls and other mythical creatures that a wealthy, wise-beyond-his-years boy learns to navigate\u2014and yet the script places a great deal of burden on Josh Gad, who\u2019s saddled with doing a ton of hand-holding narration for the audience, often describing things we can plainly see with our own eyes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

And the titular character at the center of this adventure, the brilliant and rebellious 12-year-old Artemis Fowl, ends up being a dazzled, wide-eyed pawn rather than a driving force. We\u2019re told early on by Gad\u2019s scruffy, thieving dwarf Mulch Diggums: \u201cDo not underestimate the kid.\u201d But as played by sweet-faced newcomer Ferdia Shaw, Artemis is more of a spunky and subversive troublemaker than the devious criminal mastermind who anchors Colfer\u2019s books. He\u2019d rather surf than go to school, and do you blame him? Artemis has been softened to make him more accessible, which only makes him less interesting. Nevertheless, he is our conduit between the human world and the land of leprechauns, sprites and the like, and so we must follow him, dull as he may be.<\/p>\n

When globe-trotting antiquities dealer Artemis Fowl Sr. (a too-brief Colin Farrell) goes missing while on a secret mission, the younger Artemis realizes all the legends his dad told him over the years were true. He must team up with some of those fantastic beasts (and tussle with others) to rescue his father, as well as retrieve a valuable, shiny doo-dad that\u2019s super powerful in the fairy world but dangerous for human use. It resembles a glowing, golden butt plug.<\/p>\n

This is essentially \u201cSpy Kids\u201d with greater ambitions and more elaborate visual effects. But it does have its moments; Branagh, after all, has shown an eye for striking lighting and imagery when he\u2019s helmed larger productions like this and his live-action \u201cCinderella.\u201d The sprawling and ornate Fowl Manor, which sits atop a cliff along the dramatic Irish coast, is impressive. Haven City\u2014the underground realm that\u2019s home to the LEPrecon fairy police force, run by a pointy-eared, bored-looking Judi Dench\u2014is an intriguing mix of rough-hewn and high-tech. Among her crew is the eager, big-eyed elf Holly Short (Lara McDonnell), who has a plucky and pleasing presence. At least she gets more to do than Tamara Smart, an afterthought as Juliet, niece of Fowl Manor\u2019s loyal butler, named, appropriately, Butler (Nonso Anozie, who\u2019s trapped in the most jam-packed subplot of all). She\u2019s basically been asked to show up and run from a troll.<\/p>\n

But wait! We can\u2019t forget about Gad\u2019s Mulch, whose capture and interrogation by MI6 bookends the proceedings and whose often-unnecessary voiceover provides the film\u2019s structural spine. He shows up to pick a pocket or two and fast-talk his way out of every tricky situation\u2014often with out-of-nowhere pop culture references to Foreigner and David Bowie and such, which feel forced and are never funny. But with his scraggly hair and shaggy beard, he looks as if he just wandered in from a Phish concert; he, too, joins in the adventure, ostensibly for comic relief. Nevertheless, there\u2019s always another fearsome creature, another giant set piece or fight scene, with a frantic score urging the action along. There\u2019s a great deal of exertion on display but very little magic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time freeze is going to collapse any second now!\u201d yells the tech guru centaur back at headquarters (Nikesh Patel), a warning which is supposed to be significant within the craze of noise and the whoosh of flight and the pew-pew-pew of lasers being fired from ancient-looking weapons. But it\u2019s all going to come crashing down soon enough anyway.<\/p>\n
