I watched this movie with zero preconceptions, and near zero knowledge of the Artemis Fowl books...aside from seeing the books in the local library's bookshelves a couple of times while browsing for books with the kids.
I did not expect much when I watched it...figured it's just gonna be another kids movie. But was pleasantly surprised.
I found the concepts and story interesting. I was able to follow the plot without much difficulty. I liked the costumes and tech of the "fairies" (in this case...any magical being from legend is labeled a "fairy"--with different subspecies like dwarves, goblins, etc.)
The effects were decent. And the acting was ok.
Having watched this....my interest in this franchise has grown. I have now encouraged my kids to try the book series. I might just go read the books myself as well!
