El diario de Greg: Las reglas de Rodrick

You wouldn't believe it, this whole movie is just nothing compared to the original. But it's more accurate to what happened in the book. But that doesn't really help it either. Last year when the first movie came out it was a devastating flop. The Animation, voice acting was horrible. As a huge Diary of a Wimpy Kid fan it hadn't been the same since the Long Haul, and the new Disney+ Project is making it worse. This movie seems to be more inline with the source material. It's obvious that they are trying hard to become meme cos Greg just played Never Gonna Give you up just to wake all the party animals up. This movie, in my opinion seems to be just a try hard attempt to make the series relatable for the younger generation, but their way of doing it is just bad.

From the start to the 1 hr and 17 minute climax I absolutely wanted to die during this abhorrent movie. It is a disgrace to basic human decency and I would have rather binge watched both of the tall girl movies thrice in a row. To be frank, I did did not only despise this movie, I felt repulsed at my own inability to stop watching this car crash of a production. From the unreasonably poor attempts at juvenile humour to the laughable attempts at emotional relatability, it stunned me in its shear lack of quality. I can not believe that a 'creative' team was payed real money to produce this absolute trash.

I sincerely recommend that anyone and everyone avoids this movie at all costs.

However, it was still better than the long haul.

Another movie in one year just like with the live-action trilogy, and this one? Yeah, I liked the live-action movie better. Like the first film, the animated version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is entirely mixed as a movie. I'll give the movie does have a decent heart and the jokes are fine. However, there are also times where the movie does feel little doing something new from the book it was based on. Also, the characters do have good development, but some of them do seem despicable in a dull way. And the animation is fine, but often seems dated. Since the movie has now a proper full-length running time, I won't say to treat this as one of those specials. But all I can say is if you're not a fan of the first animated film, this is not for you. However if you want to see what the creator of the book himself does in movies even as a fan of the book series, then watch this at least once just to compare this to the book. The one thing I'll say is I was wrong about all these movies coming out every year. Because I read an article that the third movie is already on the works, but never mentioned it was going to release next year. You can tell Jeff Kinney is trying with the franchise, even in this and the first movie. Sure some may argue this and the first were faithful to the live action films, but at least he was trying to add some difference inspired from the book. Oh and by the way...Rest In Peace, Ed Asner.

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.

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.
