Now I don’t remember the first book too much. But I definitely don’t remember the press. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

I dig the look of Josh Gad as Mulch. But why are we doing this? #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

I’m pretty sure Artemis is supposed to already be a criminal mastermind by now. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

If Mulch is gonna narrate all this...how does he know these things? #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

“When he was 10, he cloned a goat and named him Bruce. Weird choice...”
Damn it.
#ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl
Damn it.

Oh, now he has a single wheel skateboard thing? Is this Rocket Power? #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

Great casting of Colin Ferrell for Art Sr. But this is way tooooooo Disney father/son. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

“Just tell me when you’re leaving.” Ugh. Artemis is supposed to be self sufficient and numb to all this emotion shit. Hell, we don’t even meet Art Sr. till the second book. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

The Fowl Manor interior looks more like home base for a cop procedural than a movie mansion in Ireland. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

Kenny I’ll give you the Legos. That’s a nice touch. But Artie isn’t a “kid.” #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

Ok. I’m gonna yes-and this. Kenny wants to give us a traditional “kid gets thrust into adventure” story. Ok. But like, this severely undercuts Artemis’ expertise in the entire story.

Twitter doesn’t like how fast I tweet. Either way. I’m realizing we’re combining AF and AF2’s storylines. I’m on board. But Artemis’s bad-assery was the charm of both books. Im beginning to think Disney is just the wrong studio for this story. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

Haven is cool and awesome. Way cooler than Ireland. But the asthetic of the People. It feels like bad Star Trek. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

I forget. Was Mulch large in the book? Or is this a way to cast Josh Gad in a scene with child actors? #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

Judy Dench is a dame in the truest sense. I feel so bad for her and whatever they had her do here. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

Ok so Holly and the LEP are like magic super heroes and use technology to save the day. But why doesn’t the time freeze affect the fairies? #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

Oh so Artemis is now suddenly bragging about his plan and taunting a fairy he kidnapped after he only just learned about them a minute ago? #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

So Dad prepped Arty with some weird quizzes just in case this situation occurred. Must have really messed him up, you know, socially. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

It’s like we went from the first act to the third in twenty minutes. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl

I gotta call it here. This has all the pieces of a franchise starter. But like most bad filmmaking, it’s shallow characters and confused characterization is it’s downfall. To be continued. #ZackWatchesArtemisFowl #ArtemisFowl
