Now Sequels are not very good in most places but Adam Sandler take on the legendary horror movie monster in its second outing is a great, Not all people agree with my opinion but it is a great film and the 3rd film should be great as well.

Well, we all knew this was going to turn into a ghoulish franchise. In this sequel, Dracula and the gang welcomes his grandson to the family. Adamant that he is more vampire than human, he tries to scare the fangs out of him to prove it. Meanwhile, Mavis explores the human world to gain first hand experience of living in it before making a decision as to whether to stay in Transylvania or not. Also Dracula's father makes an appearance, as does the same recycled jokes and monster puns. This is the pure definition of safe recycling, nothing substantially new was added because they were (ironically) to scared to change it up. They took the first film, disassembled it and thought "hmmmm...what can we do to make a fresh sequel?", to which they then created a brand spanking new story that has less life and cohesion than an idle zombie. Again, it's just a montage of "funny" scenes stringed together. The worst part is they actually reused the same jokes, to precision. "Scream Cheese", "I'm Dracula blah blah blahhh" and the annoying, infuriating and life draining usage of pop music. This time, it wasn't even used properly!? The characters just randomly bust a move to Pitbull! I physically cannot fathom why anyone thinks that's a good idea. The story is incredibly tame, there is no peril. No antagonist until the last five minutes in what I can only describe as an unmemorable fight scene. The constant references to smartphones and apps in an attempt to stay current is embarrassing. It's not all doom and gloom. The animation is still pleasant, voice casting consistently fine and the shared screen time of all the monsters was a requirement that they actually fulfilled. Yes, children will relate and will enjoy this for what it is, so in a sense the film succeeds entertaining its target audience. But us poor adults shouldn't be made to watch drivel like this. Many more intelligent animations out there, watch them instead. Urghhh...got to sit through the third one soon.

Hotel Transylvania is a hard act to follow. It was a perfect balance of comedy, vulgarity, family & monsters showing why they are 'cool'. Hotel Transylvania 2 however, is a painful hour & 15 minutes of awkward 'human' behaviour, before the last 10 minutes where the predictable outcome happens. Unfortunately a constant influx of pop culture gags doesn't lessen the unpleasant experience of the frustrating narrative. This film is presented from an adults' perspective. Motherhood is BORING for kids. And watching the adults bicker between themselves just makes the taste all that much more bitter. It's as though the adult-animators were creating the film in their own image. Divorced parents, hell-bent on proving how tough being parents is, & needing to put across how proud they are for the terrible job they've done. Yawn.This happened with Despicable Me 2. When they run out of ideas, it becomes a soap opera with pop culture references. Smart phones. Immediately it becomes dated.There is so much you can do in a universe as flexible as these animations. And yet they resort to the tired unimaginative clichés of parenthood & family turmoil. I know they want to appeals to as many people as possible, but that is about money. Not good entertainment.The Grandpa is the only interesting character in this film because he is being honest, sincere, & cool. Everyone else are acting like being humans. It's no fun at all.The sad thing is everyone bought into it. So now they will pimp this franchise out into the typical animation brothel.Quit while you are ahead, unless you are prepared to top what you achieved originally but going balls to the wall.I'd avoid this if I were you, unless you happen to be one of the docile fawning imbeciles littered within this film.
