Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid books by Jeff Kinney are funny and have relatable characters. The people who have read the books or the Second book know what I am talking about.

Now we have the animated sequel to Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021) called Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2022). I liked the first animated movie, and I did like this second movie.

Greg and Rodrick are likable like in the books and still have good designs like the drawings in the book, along with a good brother relationship that was nice seeing knowing. Even though they do not get along most of the time they work together when they need to or help each other out when they need to.

The movie has recognizable scenes from the second book that look good in the animation style. If you had read the books or mostly the second book, then you would know where the movie is going.

I recommend reading the books, but you can watch this without having read the first book. This is a fine adaptation of the second book that I thought was as enjoyable as the first movie.

Ok, I know that this film is bad, and compared to the live-action movie there's a lot of different because the live-action was better, but this animated film is better than the first animated film of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

The Movie has a bad animation and it is a short movie, but the message is good, the connection between Rodrick and Greg is good and this film improve thing that Diary of a Wimpy kid (2021) haven't do that.

The film it isn't bad but it's not good either, it is better than the first animated film of Diary of a wimpy kid but then it is a middle point between a good or bad movie, I recommend more the live-action film because it have a better plot and character development.

I dislike the series a bit now that it's animated. Just personal preference, but I like the live-action movies much better. Also, love the books. Will continue watching these movies because my son and I enjoy the series as a whole, but let's go back to how it was in the beginning!!

My son said that he still enjoyed this movie and he liked it much better than I did. For me it's going to be a one and done one time watch.

I don't know what it is about the animated characters, but I just don't like the look of them. Even though they are similar to the drawings in the books I just can't get into it as much without it being real people as opposed to an animation.

Honestly, it's not as bad as the first animated Diary Of A Wimpy Kid movie. The jokes weren't that funny and the animation was dull, but the ending was pretty cool. Greg and Rodrick were more likable in this movie than the live-action ones which is ok but it kinda takes away from the characters. This movie was the definition of mediocre and lazy. I still think you should watch it because it's pretty short. It's very fast-paced but I think that's fine because most of the scenes are boring. At Least The movie wasn't unwatchable unlike Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul.

Also, Manny is still a menace!

They just keep making these, eh? Not good when one is somewhat of a completionist when it comes to franchises.

'Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules' is at least a minor improvement on the original animated flick from a year prior. The run time is nice and short so doesn't really overly stay its welcome, naturally (given I'm obviously not the target audience etc.) it was a bit boring throughtout for me. I can still acknowledge it's a relatively OK film, though.

The voice cast aren't anything worth shouting from the rooftops about, perhaps with the exception of a certain Ed Asner. It shows how the live-action films from this series actually did do a good job with its casting, because I still always associate the characters here to Zachary Gordon & Co. - despite only seeing those movies once or twice.

I'm split on the animation style. On the one hand it looks dull, yet kinda still works. I remember the 2021 release had some overt continuity issues onscreen, as well as a few audio problems. This one doesn't, at least none of which I noticed, so that's a plus point, I guess!
