"[5] James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "The highlights of Artemis Fowl are so strong that we can forgive the album for sagging in the middle.

I’m not sure this is really where Doyle’s naturally at his best – it is telling that most of the highlights are where he pushes the emotional side of thing – but he’s more than capable of handling this type of film.

His collaboration with Kenneth Branagh has produced such strong scores that I doubt this one will figure that highly on anyone’s lists, but that’s more a reflection of how good most of them are rather than there being much wrong with this one.

One could argue that the production hell that occupied this movie for a long time is partly responsible for the "score to the moment" approach from Doyle, and that's fair.

[10] The non-album songs that featured in the film, include: "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner and Gianni Schicchi's "O mio babbino caro" written by Giacomo Puccini, Giovacchino Forzano and performed by Angela Gheorghiu.

[11] The Radiohead single "Decks Dark" soundtracked the teaser trailer, released in November 2018 and was not featured in the film.
