... View MoreThis movie is really great, I saw the movie a few times and I enjoyed it every time. Most of the animations that take about an hour and a half are as if there's one thing in them, but the Transylvania Hotel is all about it. It's also one of the funniest animations I've seen throughout my life. The Wayne character repeatedly laughed me during the animation, and whenever I entered the scene, I smiled without doing anything, because I knew that it was now a funny thing to make me laugh, Frankenstein's character was extraordinary. It's time I did not have time to smile because I was chuckling, especially in the sequence that they were looking for Johnny, and suddenly he saw a man who was playing with a ghastly Dracula dress. Frankenstein said that I would laugh if I remembered. . Murray also had a lot of funny things. Dracula and Jonathan were the best of all, and if they were not, this animation would not be the one of the funniest animations I've ever seen. It was really great, since Johnny explained to Dracula how he found the hotel. I laughed two, singing together in the final sequence as far as they were, and not enough to say about these two and their work. The movie is full of cool and funny characters who do not have everything. Now, if we distance ourselves from comedy, I want to talk about the romantic aspect of animation, which is very appealing. I really feel like I can love to touch this animation and understand it. It's Mavis and Jonathan's love that involved me with this animation. This love takes place during the animation between these two forms, and we are very good with romantic scenes and dialogues, for example when Jonathan and Mavis were on the roof of the hotel, and then Mavis first saw the dawn or, for example, the type of the letter Mavis's behavior and behavior is with Johnny in a very romantic party, and it transmits a sense of love to the viewer in such a way that if an acting could play it, he would have had an Oscar. And, of course, Johnny's and Mavis's romance before their second kiss made me feel sad. In the scenes of love, there is also a drama aspect, but there were scenes that were not romantic, but the drama was, for example, Dracula's words to Johnny on the plane, in particular the scene of Dracula's conversation with Mavis in the backbone, which was a bit sad, and The most sad thing about them was that Mavis said: "My dad no longer have a dream. Is it terribly terrible to say such a horrible 18-year-old girl? Someone tells his father that I have no idea. Mavis has been hit hard by his father and depressed. Dracula, who sees the gift of his wife, realizes that he has gone all the way wrong, forgetting the most important thing in life, that is, love, who now finds nothing worse than not seeing his daughter upset by looking for Johnny, and that Finds. Truly this romantic story can not be found in any other animation. The latest animated music, which was read by animation characters, was very cool, and it was one of the songs that everybody ever liked to motivate it in their minds. In a nutshell, I saw a striking animation that I would like to follow in order to be able to meet the characters of the movie; seeing this animation was a memorable experience for me, and I'd love to see them again.

View MoreThe name Genndy Tartakovsky is a name that most animation fans will appreciate and even if you haven't heard of him, you probably have heard of the shows he created at Cartoon Network like "Dexter's Laboratory" and "Samurai Jack". The name Adam Sandler on the other hand, is not a name most film fans will appreciate. This was the man who did bring us some of the worst comedies ever made like "Jack and Jill" as well as create "Eight Crazy Nights" which despite it's grand and glorious animation is one of the worst animated movies ever made. Seeing the two team up is a little odd, though that's what they did with the help of Sony Pictures Animation which resulted in the movie "Hotel Transylvania", a film that has gotten an interesting reaction from both critics and audiences a like. Where the critics hated this movie, audiences seem to like it. As for me, I think it's decent. Is it a terrible and childish movie? No. So, is it a modern Halloween classic? Also no. I'll get into why in a minute, but first let me sum up the plot. Count Dracula (Adam Sandler) has built a hotel for all monsters to go to relax and go on vacation away from "evil humans" as well as keeping his only daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) safe after his wife Martha was killed by the humans years ago. With her 118th birthday approaching, Mavis is curious about the human world and wants to explore it though her father is still reluctant and wants to keep her safe. However, things go upside down for Dracula when a human tourist named Jonathan (Andy Samberg) accidentally stumbles into the hotel. Wanting to keep the guest from being scared, Dracula disguises Jonathan as a sort of Frankenstein monster and only gets into a bigger sticky situation when Mavis starts to develop romantic feelings for Jonathan. What happens next are lots of crazy shenanigans and fast paced humor that explaining the whole story would be too much so I'll just leave it there and get to my thoughts.This is certainly a very creative film. The idea of monsters staying at a hotel away from humans is a very clever and unique plot which does lead to some creative jokes and fast paced humor, though the film does have moments to let the audience catch their breath with some pretty effective slower moments. The scene where Dracula tells an emotional backstory in the film was actually surprisingly really well handled which is something I was really impressed with by the film. As for the animation, if you want crazy, zany fast paced animation, here it is. This film really knows how to do fast paced animation well which really reminded me of the old cartoons from 40's and 50's or even that Baby Herman short at the beginning of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" yet it does bring me to a small criticism. Though the film worked well in computer animation, it would have really shined had it been hand drawn. These character designs seemed to be made to be drawn by a pencil and not by pixels and it was even clearly proved during the end credits where we see 2D versions of the characters. It's nothing too major, but I feel that seeing it being done traditionally would have been a major plus for this film. Most of the jokes really work. Even though it is kind of juvenile at times particularly in the opening, this film did have some good laughs including a scene that took a stab at "Twilight". Yeah, I have to give credit to this movie. They really made a great anti-Twilight joke. Now how are the characters, particularly Adam Sandler as Count Dracula? Actually, they're mostly fun. I was a little nervous when I first heard the casting of Sandler as Dracula, but he managed to really pull off the character and his voice actually mostly unrecognizable. Even the other monsters in the film work. I think the funniest monster is Eunice who's the Bride of Frankenstein. Having her always push her poor husband around did make me chuckle a lot not to mention having her played by Fran Drescher was also an ideal choice. There are things that I didn't like about the movie, most notably the soundtrack. Man, this is one dated soundtrack. Although Mark Mothersbaugh's score is pretty good, the songs sounded like they came from an eight year old's kid's iPod from 2012. The autotune also really got on my nerves and having to listen to these terrible pop songs just irritated me.So while I don't think "Hotel Transylvania" is a great movie by any means, I certainly don't think it's as bad as what other critics have said. It does have a creative story, the animation is really fast paced and enjoyable (even though it would've been better hand drawn) and the characters did have some funny things to them. In my opinion, this movie seems to be suited as a fun silly movie to throw on during a party and that's it. I think it's good for a one time watch, but really it's not much of a classic.
... View MoreSony's animations are usually hit and miss for me. Infuriatingly they all contain traits that really are destroying the genre. The story centres on Dracula as he creates a hotel for monsters to stay in order to seclude them from the treacherous human world. Preparing for his daughter's birthday party, a human waltzes into the hotel to which Dracula must hide him from the rest of the guests. Hosting an array of famous movie and literary monsters, we are presented with a tsunami of related puns. "Scream cheese" springs to mind. A few hearty moments in an attempt to create some touching scenes ultimately fall flat due to the unfunny screenplay. It tries far too hard to make us laugh, that subconsciously I'm ensuring I feel dead as a zombie whilst watching it. Soooo yes, I didn't smile once. It also gambles on dealing with racial stereotypes, yet fails to make the theme stick with the audience. That's not the biggest crime though. Pop music. God. Damn. Pop. Music. Why? In what world do we witness monsters rapping and dancing to multiple LMFAO songs? There is no point to it. I honestly don't even think children want to watch that either!? It's a trend in the early 2010s that really irked me. The animation was fine, nothing outstanding but fluid enough that they can easily replicate it in order to start a franchise (hint hint...). The voice cast was mediocre, Sandler seemed to be having fun though. The story was a montage of "funny" scenes tied together at the end to create a young romance. Remember kids, don't be a control freak...because it's not fun. I just...I just feel nothing towards this. It's absolutely suited to its target audience, just the lazy and uninspired approach prevents this from being good.
