Brilliant and touching

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Yes, I liked this film more than the critics.In this sequel our mixed human-monster couple get married and Marvis (Selena Gomez) is pregnant in about 2 minutes. Marvis wants the raise the human child in California, which she loves, while Jonathan (Andy Samberg) who is bored with California wants him to stay in Transylvania. The film has humor for adults such as the Picasso painting. Was that ice scream cake or sour scream icing?The film pokes fun at our nanny culture and how we coddle our children with vampire summer camp.

Our lesson in acceptance continues. Part one was about Count Dracula accepting humans. Part two was about Count Dracula accepting his new grandson who's half human half vampire.I fell asleep. The story at its core, while positive, was nothing new at all. Even the characters fell into the same roles. We got to see more bumbling Dracula, mad Mavis, aloof Jonathan, and the rest of the misfit monsters doing what they were best at.The Hotel Transylvania franchise has not grown on me at all. With so many animation franchises out there this one fails to distinguish itself.

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 am only writing this review because of the sheer amount of good reviews that I do not understand. With all respect to the wonderful animators and artists who made this movie at least as visually appealing as it is and the animation is absolutely gorgeous, the writing itself is trash. Most of the characters are one-dimensionally annoying and even a redemption scene didn't manage to make them any more likable. How can you have a movie full of cool monsters and make them into boring cheap "we-so-hip-and-cool-now" characters I do not fully understand, but that is exactly what happened here. Honestly, if it weren't for the ever-present emphasis on how much cooler and better the modern culture was and all the dancing and flashing lights, I wouldn't be as harsh on this movie as I am, but god was it irritating to watch. Also, the ending totally ruined any message the movie was trying to convey concerning wee Denis and his humanity. Because hey, it doesn't matter who you are, we love you no matter wha- OH THANK GOD, YOU ARE A VAMPIRE AFTER ALL. To sum up: + great animation and the design is unique enough - story, characters, message of this thing, Dracula (yes, he deserves to be mentioned extra. Loved him in the first movie, profoundly hated him in this one)
