Have you watched Artemis Fowl?
What did you think of it?
On the coast of Ireland, a media frenzy descends on Fowl Manor, where a stolen collection of world-famous relics is linked to wealthy businessman, Artemis Fowl. Arrested at the manor, Mulch Diggums is interrogated by British intelligence and claims that his employer has stolen the powerful "Aculos". Offering to prove the existence of magic, Diggums tells the story of Artemis Fowl, Jr.
Three days earlier, Artemis, a twelve-year-old genius, lives at Fowl Manor with his widowed father Artemis Sr, who goes missing from his boat, accused of the theft of several priceless artifacts found aboard. Artemis Jr receives a call from a hooded figure. Holding his father captive, the hooded figure gives Artemis three days to recover the Aculos, which Artemis Sr. has stolen and hidden. Domovoi "Dom" Butler, Artemis' bodyguard, shows him a hidden library where generations of Fowls have catalogued proof of the existence of magical creatures.

I sort of half-watched it with the kids whilst doing something else. Even if I'd been paying close attention, I have a feeling I wouldn't have known what in blazes was going on.

A genuinely awful adaptation. That can be excused if the movie still turns out good, but the finished product was also genuinely awful.
Hey, Disney: If you don't want to make a movie where the protagonist is an actual criminal, then DON'T LICENSE A BOOK WHERE THE PROTAGONIST IS AN ACTUAL CRIMINAL.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
