Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

This movie is an absolute nightmare compared to not only the book it is based off of also the original live action film. I have nothing nice to say about this film. This film has no sense of direction or personality and it seems like it came out of someone's ass. I don't feeling the bonding of these characters like I do in both the boo and the original movie therefore when the "climax" happens where the boys get into a fight I don't feel like something valuable was lost unlike how I did reading and watching both original sources. The animation in this film looks like it was made on ten dollars. All the characters move so slowly and weird. Everyone has noodle limbs. And overall everything looks weird. The voice acting also doesn't help. It's not awful but it can't even hold a candle to the near perfect acting in the original film. I could go on and on about why this movie is bad but I'll just leave it here because what I'm saying has most likely been said. Disney do better.

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.

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!

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!
