I really enjoyed Rowley here, he felt more calm and collected and didn't let stuff bother him at all. You felt bad for live action Rowley but I like his personality here, didn't let Greg's douchery affect him. You really hated Greg for a bit which is what the movie wanted, but you also understood him big time. I definitely enjoyed the adaptation of the book's art style. The facial expressions got the job done better than I thought it would but I do wish they would've added some color around the pupils. I also thought the backgrounds were very nice to look at and felt like you could step in and live there. The neighborhoods and school looked great. I enjoyed the hand drawn sequences as well.
I like how they didn't hammer in the message, you understand the character development and apology by Greg taking the heat for the cheese at the end. He knew he was wrong and Rowley forgave him.
Rodrick was a huge step down here as were the parents. The dad was much more fun in live action and Rodrick was much funnier and actually in it. I also think the Halloween sequence was better in the live action because it was a little longer and you felt more danger from them being trapped in the house and scratching the truck.
This movie was more bare bones, I like how the live action one lasted longer in the school year and had more seasons and scenes at school. The live action one just overall had more in it and I think that was a good thing. I wish this was longer and added more so you could feel the actual journey and character development better.
Overall though definitely enjoyable and I'm excited for Rodrick Rules.
