![]() ![]() It used to be a whole lot simpler back in elementary school. Man, I don’t know WHAT is up with girls these days. But I guess if I do that, it just proves I didn’t learn anything from last year. Next period, I should just sit in the middle of a bunch of hot girls as soon as I step in the room. You walk into the classroom and just stuff down on any old desk and the next thing you know the teacher is saying Jason Brill came in late and almost sat to my right, but luckily I stopped that from happening at the last second. On the first day of school, you got to be real careful where you plunk your sit. So I figured I might as well write in this book to pass the time.īy the way, let me give you some good advice. Today is the first day of school, and right now we’re just waiting around for the teacher to hurry and finish the seating chart. again, I that would mean kids like Chirag Gupta would still be in the first grade. If it was up to me, grade levels would be based on height, not age. You got kids like me who haven’t hit their growth spurt yet mixed in with these gorillas who need to shave twice a day.Īnd then they wonder why bullying is such a big problem in middle school. You take them out, and I'm not gonna like it.Let me just say for the record that I think middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented. The voice acting is dull and forgettable, it's not very well directed, the story is pretty boring, at least when it's presented like this, and I chuckled maybe.three times? Granted, that's three times as much as The Long Haul, and I will at least applaud the fact that this film really did keep a laser focus on Greg and Rowley's friendship and is at least very short so I didn't suffer for too long, and I actually did quite like the changes they made to the Halloween sequence, but for all that.curse you entropy, why can't you just leave those original actors alone and let them make more of those films? It occurred to me while watching this just how much that original cast really made those films as special as they are to me, because you take them out, and suddenly you have this. Why do you hate your own creation, Jeff? Are you just sick of the whole thing? Am I lucky that I stopped reading the books around 2014, and if I continued, I would have been met with crap like this? Because the animation certainly isn't the only thing wrong with this. Just like how he actually wrote the script for The Long Haul. And I'm just now learning that this was Jeff Kinney's idea. Ironic that it being 2D would have worked so much better. The models all look untextured, the lip-syncing is pretty bad, and it all feels so flat. The animation students who obviously don't exactly have a huge budget, and this really doesn't look too far from what they can do. Sometimes, on my university campus, they show the animation students' work on a big screen on one of the buildings. Even if you can ignore the *shudder* character designs, the whole thing looks so cheap. Why couldn't it have just been animated in exactly the same way as the book's illustrations, just with some colour added? I can't imagine how much more appealing that would have looked. And if you think about that concept while pretending this film never existed, does it sound like a good idea? Because this film does exist, and pretty clearly, it wasn't a good idea. I don't know if I'd consider this series to be something that would work better in live action or not, but I do know that if you took the drawings of an 11 year old and transcribed them into a 3D setting, you'd get.well, this. I don't know, I guess it's possible I'm being blinded by my nostalgia for the original trilogy and I would have been happy if those original actors never aged and they could have kept adapting this whole book series, but I think it's equally possible that what I'm really being blinded by is this uuuuuuugly animation. 's better than The Long Haul? Cause, you know.that's so hard to do.
