Goofs

During Holly's first mission, she is sent to Martina Franca, near Taranto, Italy. The town seen in the movie is clearly San Gimignano, Tuscany, and it bears no resemblance at all with Martina Franca. Moreover, the place pointed to in the map is near Isernia, quite far form Martina Franca.

User Reviews

Disney managed to make something worse than Wrinkle in Time

If Disney put half the effort into the movie as they did into making a trailer and promotion, Artemis Fowl might have been only horrible instead of nauseatingly unwatchable. Thanks to the other 1 star reviews I will be reading the books so I can understand exactly how badly they dropped the ball. My kids and I haven't been this disappointed since the Last Airbender movie M. Night butchered.
