Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

In a strange way, it sort of hurts to watch 'Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015)'. Perhaps it is because the first film was actually pretty good, or perhaps it's because your boredom soon begins to set into your bones like a deep, unforgiving chill and you want to cringe so incredibly tightly that your face tears itself from your head but you're never quite given the mercy of a moment just strong enough to finish the job. To put it bluntly, this isn't a good film. There might be a chance, however, that I'm wrong and that it isn't all that bad. The usual defence for this type of picture is that "it's a 'kid's film'." In that case, I guess the abrasive voice-work (which was, I recall, less grating in the series' initial outing), the slightly unsettling and consistently bone-breaking animation (which, again, I remember to have found somewhat charming in the first flick), the egregiously greedy Sony product placement, the over-the-top and usually too-childish-for-children humour, the brash and out-of-place action-scene finale and the tried-and-tested central message that's completely back-tracked upon in the movie's final moments are actually 'good enough' for the young target audience of the piece. Then again, 'kid's film' or not, I think everyone deserves better than this. 4/10

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.

I just saw this (2017), and for a senior citizen (& Vlad fan), I got a kick out of it;so many quotable quotes (was it 'OMSatan' or OMDevil'?; I didn't know which way the plot was going but a great ending; looking forward to 2018 production; nice to have stars doing the rolls; I couldn't tell who was who for sure, so went to IMDb; in the meantime, will see if I can find the first of the series. :-} :-} :-} :-}

I watched this movie in 3D, which should be an immersive experience.The animations are done very well, the direction or writing is *very* bad. The movie doesn't flow and feels like it pulled apart another animation movie, made their observations into "rules and laws" and recomposed it in fragments. So it turns out to be a mozaïque of something else trying to be something new. It didn't work.The entire movie felt as if they have made a storyboard and had sent these boards slide by slide to the animation department to render the scenes without any transition. And then over-manage the scenes while there isn't any transition. Like a slideshow.Added to this, when two characters interact, the atmosphere is gone. It's usually an empty room, slightly faded in the background. The only moment there is much going on is on the party, but then there is too much chaos to take it all in. While other scene's were rushed in and felt empty. While music felt artificially placed instead of blending away.For example, you have a dialogue character one says something. Expression. second character does a motion and expression in a different scene it seems. Zip back to the first character, says another thing. Slight pauze. Then the other character frowns, in another setting it seems. Back closeup to the first character. It's too, fragmented. And doesn't flow. This movie doesn't flow at all. It's like sitting in an amusementpark ride, and a sensor trips to display a scene of animatronics. The door closes, the animatronics die out. Another opens. Another animatronic.Not even to mention the attempt to put in some stereotypes through voicing. The voicing is so without emotion and so dry. Say line. Stop. Say next line. Stop. The animators on this movie were very wonderful, the others not so much. It was a waste of my time and probably you too.
