Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011)
The previous film was better.
The first film was quite a good laugh out loud family film, with decent comedy and good acting on Bostick's part. This film however was nowhere near as entertaining and it seemed to be a very forced, childish film. I do understand that it is from a child PoV so the humour is bound to be childish. The relationship between the brothers was quite entertaining and I enjoyed the prank montage in the car park. The door incident was drawn out and not very funny once the climax of the joke had been reached and was definitely not worth 10 minutes of the films entire run time The ending was quite good though and I did enjoy Rowley(or however you spell it)'s Ke$ha video. Decent but only good for smaller children and only worth a 6.
The Social Network (2010)
Meh
The film is beautifully shot and directed with the shots perfectly placed. The rowing sequence is gorgeous and deserves some recognition. The acting is also quite good, Jesse does a brilliant job of being a hard to love genius but idiotic at the same time as his business skills are awful. However, the dialogue is rushed and badly written. The opening scene is extremely confusing and could be an instant turn off. The story is also very drawn out and the back and forth swap from the original story and the later on questioning. Brenda Song is probably the most annoying actress to have either walked the earth and every scene with her in was insanely cringe-worthy and almost made me laugh it was so awful. All in all, a quite tedious drawn out annoying film with a brilliant director of photography.
