With plenty of laughs, truly dazzling animation, and some more of the franchise’s signature dance sequences, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation is a summer treat worth savoring, and a reminder that if we can see past our differences, we’ll find we’re not that different after all.

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation is a visual splendor, from the fun way the creatures are portrayed to the pacing. Keeping Tartakovsky as director of all three films creates a fluid sense of comedy and look. Read full review

The harmless high jinks all go down easily enough without being particularly memorable or pushing the art form past the expected. Read full review

The’re not a lot of momentum to Hotel Transylvania 3; this is a children’s film after all. But the character and location designs are inventive and appealing, and there are several memorable set pieces, including a wordless scuba diving sequence that draws heavy inspiration from classic Warner Bros. cartoons.

Hotel Transylvania 3 is a harmless enough excuse for a couple hours of air-conditioned entertainment, which is all some people ask of a kid’s film. But there’s something bleak about its banality. Read full review

Genndy Tartakovsky brings back all the fan favorites from the previous two films and sets them all on an overcrowded, doomed cruise, but the thin plot feels less engaging than the previous films and the jokes less inspired. Read full review

It’s just the jokes that aren’t funny — not even to the supposedly undemanding (very young) audience these films are tailored to. Read full review

Splendid sequel. Best of the 3 In our opinion. Superior animation. Tons of good jokes and pokes at other mediums. Bit of Dr Seuss in some characters. Kids and their parents loved it at the theater we were at. Alot of laughter and applause at end. Well done.

The third movie was not that bad with humor and great scenes. I really like this one even though it was not the best of the trilogy

While the movie was fun to watch, it was not all that memorable and felt like a run of the mill story. It had it's funny moments and it also had it's moments of less than stellar writing. A good kids movie, but not really much outside of that.

Was hoping much more from this. Instead, it's a PC-safe, kid-safe, "let Hollywood tell the world that tolerance matters". So preachy it qualifies as an "after-school special".

Apparently, EDM is "bad" and pop standards are "good", too. And did anyone find it ironic and lazy that the ultimate weapon against the monsters was itself a monster?! Makes no sense and will likely be just the latest reason this franchise ends right here. The animation and voicing was top-notch, too bad the screenplay was so lame. Genndy Tartakovsky, director/writer, is not typically saccharine like this. He's done much better work with TV's "Samurai Jack" and "Star Wars: Clone Wars". Expected better...… Expand
