>they changed a ton of stuff >no Wimpy Kid main theme >shooting itself in the foot by being hip and cool instead of making the film timeless like in the original trilogy, dating the film in the process >no day to day life of a kid vignettes which made these books awesome to begin with and made the original trilogy kid kino >improved animated sequences >Rowley (aka best character) relegated to the first 15 minutes and a mid credits stinger (sidelining a fan favorite character is never a good sign), it almost makes you feel sorry for the new kid playing the role >surprisingly focused for a Wimpy Kid movie >the new actor playing Greg was a actually likable yet awful and yet you don't want to punch this kid in the face like in the original trilogy, major upgrade >the new actor playing Rodrick went veered full retard in this one and wasn't a mix of likable, dickish and full retard like the original was, those NotMyRodrick posters weren't completely wrong with this one. Major downgrade. >the parents were fine >Manny was adorable at points >A new character sorta satirizes let's players/twitch streamers, They didn't have to make the character look like Boogie2988 cosplaying as Markiplier, hairstyle and all >the clever jokes and the heart from the original trilogy is still there though >went full overkill on the gross out humor
Not as awful as everyone says it was going to be due to the recasting and it was charming for the most part, and for the love of God, bring Rowley along for the ride in the inevitable sequel if the next movie they're going to adapt is the upcoming Getaway book, considering most of these movies deviate from the source material, it wouldn't hurt to bring him in in the process
Michael Powell
I hope one day Manny gets his comeuppance
Cabin Fever was the last straw for him
Isaac Campbell
Like the new Greg, they actually made Manny adorable and likable in the new movie, the only thing that made him an annoying little shit when he's crying, which is understandable since he's only 3.
Easton Nguyen
>wimpy
This is hate speech and I will not stand for it, Jeff Kinney must be brought to justice! SOCIAL justice!
Sebastian Hernandez
...
Luis Thompson
He's only 3
Christopher Clark
lolwat why is rodrick an soccer mom?
Ayden Ross
People called him either Edna Mode, Tricia Takanawa or Lord Farquaad
Xavier Roberts
I never read past Cabin Fever, are the rest worth it?
Easton Roberts
The last few are, had to read Long Haul again for the new movie
Oliver Nguyen
Did the original actors make a cameo in the new movie?
Jace Hughes
What did he do in Cabin Fever anyway? I forgot.
Asher Taylor
Can't be as bad as what Greg did with Rowley and the time capsule
Austin Powell
...
Juan Gutierrez
Turned off the power to every room but his for several days
Connor King
That little shit is going to grow up to be Jack Torrance or some shit like that.
Gavin Cooper

Wyatt Wright
I stopped reading these books at dog days, I had no idea that they continued until the new movie came out. Imagine my surprise when I find out there are fucking 12
Logan Flores
Try watching the movies
Owen Perry
I want this fucking meme to die.
Thomas Martinez
Also, that's pretty damn smart for a 3 year old
Angel Edwards
This was a comic book or a cartoon? No a few segments in a movie don't count fucko
Chase Kelly
Part comic book part novel.
Kinda like a LN but with 90% mostly illustrations
Parker Lewis
>Kinda like a LN I'm hoping for an animated adaption.
Mason Robinson
The Long Haul movie was originally gonna be a fully animated in the style of the comics, which if you seen the movie had completely improved on the animation during those scenes, would be awesome.
Also Cabin Fever was gonna be some sort of animated holiday special also in the style of the books, but that didn't go anywhere
Landon Long
Lemme guess, the toon version didn't happen because MUH TEST AUDIENCES or some shit like that happened.
Samuel Allen
I think its mostly a case that execs thinking that kids cannot handle a 2D animated film that's mostly black and white.
Which I highly doubt because kids (the target demographic) will eat that shit up because it's faithful to the books.
Wyatt Carter
>Rowley >God tier As much as I agree with you, the movie gimped his screen time so much that I don't even have an opinion on him yet. >Alicia Silverstone >Top tier You do realize that everything that happened in the movie was pretty much all her fault, right? >bring Rowley along for the ride in the inevitable sequel if the next movie they're going to adapt is the upcoming Getaway book I really hope they do that, but considering the new book isn't even out yet, it's too early to tell.
Nolan Bell
Wait I never read Double Down what's it about
Sebastian Murphy
Greg and Rowley trying to make a monster movie.
Jordan Anderson
is this even Sup Forums?
Thomas Clark
See
Asher Sanchez
god you kids need to leave
Joseph Harris
From the limited amount of screen time the new kid had, he got Rowley down to a T, but he didn't get enough time to make his own interpretation of the character.
Colton Long
>tfw no based Steve Zahn as the dad
Honestly, DoaWK just doesn't work outside of Greg's limited perspective anyway. One of the best parts is the ambiguity of what actually happens vs. what Greg's selfish mind interprets. That ambiguity is lost in a screen adaptation.
Nathaniel Davis
He was the 2nd worst part of the recast
Eli Cooper
I actually know the kid playing Rowley in real life. I'm happy for him.
Anthony Thompson
The first or second actor?
Camden Jones
Why is nuRodrick asian when the rest of the family is white?
Juan Turner
Second one
Isaac Walker
I think it's mostly bone structure
Jason Murphy
I think Cabin Fever was originally going to happen in a 2D holiday special, but it never materialized.
