It’s fine for the kids and somewhat charming but the adults like Dracula will miss the edge and teeth. The heartfelt story of growing up, letting go is fine but nothing we haven’t seen before or done better. The humor and cutaway gags are appreciated but a tad distracting. If anything the film reveals that Gendy is far better suited for handdrawn animation. His efforts to bring his techniques from 2-d to 3-d are appreciated but some things are better kept in their own medium. Tartakovsky presents a film that is fine for casual viewing but nothing to sink your fangs into. Thankfully, Gendy is back in the realm of hand drawn animation where he belongs returning to form with a more gritty Samurai Jack.… Expand

Without doing any spoilers. This is a average movie for teens and adults and a great animation for kids! Overall i wouldn't watch it again, but i still enjoyed it.

I suppose Mel Brooks did a good job in the movie, but that can't cover up the fact that I only laughed twice, and I forgot nearly all the jokes afterwords. I suppose if you liked the first movie, you should see this, but otherwise it would be better to spend your money somewhere else (or just see another movie).… Expand

Drac's daughter marries a mortal and they have a son. Of course, grandpa (Adam Sandler) wants the kid to be a vampire, but will he? The energy never lags and the dialogue zips by. Unfortunately, most of it isn't especially clever or funny. The movie is crammed with wacky characters (played by a big cast of comic actors) and some of them are entertaining. The design is bright and fun. Less discerning children will likely be entertained, but there's nothing special going on.… Expand

This series is not witty enough to be good. It is mostly decent animation with haphazard writing.

Hotel Transylvania 2 kind of falls into the same template as the first movie but it pushes all the right buttons. I'm sure that many young kids get a real kid out of it which makes sense why it took in so much money over its theatrical run.Hotel Transylvania 2 kind of falls into the same template as the first movie but it pushes all the right buttons. I'm sure that many young kids get a real kid out of it which makes sense why it took in so much money over its theatrical run. All the important voices come back and for the most part they do a great job and their also some new characters with great voices behind them as well. I had a few good chuckles with it and its just an enjoyable film and the animation is pretty decent.… Expand

Hotel Transylvania 2 is a fun, yet equally silly movie, that amounts to an inconsequential movie directed solely at kids.

However, if youHotel Transylvania 2 is a fun, yet equally silly movie, that amounts to an inconsequential movie directed solely at kids. If you have kids, this is a good movie to take them to, because it's funny and beautifully animated. However, if you hope you'll enjoy the film also, you may be disappointed. The voice cast is good, and some of the characters are well developed, but the film is very silly. The movie lacks a feeling of relevance, because there are no real consequences, and thus lacks any emotional depth. The silly tone makes the film good for little children, and if you liked the first film, you'll likely enjoy this one as well, but those looking for anything other than kids fluff, will be disappointed. In conclusion Hotel Transylvania is funny, sleek, and perfect for small children, but falls flat when it comes to delivering any real emotional depth, and ends up shallow.… Expand

Hotel Transylvania 2, is a story where the Dracula gang has taken up straightness in the story, more and more fun and interesting, the characters are increasingly interesting, but much remains to be corrected from the first film.

It was not as good as the first one. It recycled humor, to kidish, and characters are not as good as they were in the first one. Plus while the plot isnt supost to be good, it just sucks.

Not a big fan of Sony Animation. This is a margin better than the original, but that's not saying much. It may not be awful, but it's still far from great.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought it was really average. The first movie was better.
I also didn't really liked the ending, the message would have been way stronger if Denis remained human. I also thought that Jonathan was really shallow in this one, he adds absolutely nothing to the plot and that's a shame because I really liked him in the first one. Plus, we don't see him interacting with his kid much compared to Mavis or Dracula. Also, Mavis and Jonathan only get a few moments between them and that's it. The rest of the movie is focused on Dracula stressing about the fact that his grandkid is not a vampire yet and Mavis who is worrying.
I think they could have done much more with this kind of plot (having a kid etc...), especially since the 2 starts right after the end of the 1, so it could have been a really organic movie.
However, I think kids will definitely enjoy this.… Expand
