Why is
Artemis Fowl getting released in 2020? At least there'd be some logic to its existence if it had debuted in the years between 2006 and 2010. That's when
Harry Potter knock-off's like
Eragon, The Seeker: The Dark is Rising and
The Spiderwick Chronicles ran rampant.
Artemis Fowl would have fit right in. But in 2020, even knock-off's of
The Hunger Games have leveled off,
Harry Potter knock-off's are practically extinct.
Artemis Fowl now emerges in 2020 as a visitor from the distant past, from an era when The Black Eyed Peas topped the Billboard charts, and the Tiger Woods scandal was still fresh news. Whatever year it premiered in, though,
Artemis Fowl, which is now streaming on Disney+,
would still register as a totally bad movie.
