I looked forward to this group of Hallmark movies. I was so disappointed to see them ignoring historical truths of the time. I don't think different races mixed in higher social settings.

The clothes didn't fit right and were of the wrong fabric. Baggy full length gloves , baggy bodices, even the men's jackets and shirts were baggy.

The female hairstyles had curls dangling onto the face. In this time, hair was put up and didn't usually have curls hanging on the face. If curls were present, the were next to the ears, not in face.

Houses could have been wonderful but instead looked cheap and had the wrong floor coverings.

The plot wasn't bad but the directing and production aspects left it wanting.

I think these mysteries have big potential but can't be done on the "cheap".

I've missed Downton Abbey, and this movie was a wonderful balm for my aching heart. Some happiness, some sadness, and always a great story and amazing acting! Just left the theater 2 hours ago, and ready to go back and see it again and again... Keep writing these, Mr. Fellowes, and I'll keep coming to see them... LOVED IT!

I am not a Sci-fi or fantasy fan, but this movie captured me at the beginning and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Already watched it again! I never read the book, so no comparisons for me. Just a lot of fun, lovely scenery and action/adventure. I hope they make more of Artemis Fowl movies!
