I can see younger kids liking Artemis Fowl and especially if they have no knowledge of the character or the boos previously and from the comments here I can see that is true. However people that are invested in the character and the books can't like this rendition at all, it is a colossal blunder and a farce.
If you think it was awesome then you know nothing about Artemis Fowl.
