Too hyperactive, too juvenile, too predictable, and too many jokes that simply don't land. Has all the emotional depth of your average Saturday morning cartoon. Tartakovsky is better than this.

Hotel Transylvania should entertain children, but even though it looks fun, it fails to reach the heights of other animated films with it's bad script. Also, I was disappointed that Cee-Lo Green was auto-tuned.

Perfectly acceptable family fare. The story and script are pretty basic, but there's a couple of chuckles. Probably very slightly better than many have suggested, but only slightly.

Somehow or another, I enjoyed this more than I did ParaNorman. I think what did it for me was the bouncy, expressive animation. As for actual content: story-wise we're in familiar territory, and an incongruous R'n'B/electronic abortion of a song at movie's end knocks off a point or two, but the humour here is strong, the screenplay arguably the best Adam Sandler's read in a decade. Overall, a win. [full review at Letterboxd]

A decent animated comedy with a few good jokes and a very straightforward story. Overprotective father vampire wants to keep his daughter from dating a human, and the human challenges the preconceptions the vampire has on humankind. It won't wow you but it entertains.

Sandler's been squeezing dumb character voices out of his mouth for the majority of his career, so it's only natural that sooner or later he'd use it to voice an animated character, but his less than stellar acting is still abundantly clear. And the inferior writing doesn't really help either.

The film isn't very funny, nor is its dramatic arc particularly compelling, and it routinely violates its own internal rules and logic, in other words, passably watchable but not very good. Weirdly, I thought the musical bits were the most fun, and I would've liked to have seen what would have happened had they embraced it and gone full musical, like a family-friendly version of the Rocky Horror Picture show.

I thought it was brutally monotonous, but my kids seemed way into it, at least until the obligatory, kinda-ripped-from-TANGLED "super-possessive dad" plot elements all kicked in and the movie forgot it was supposed to be funny and entertaining.

Where Dracula's relationship with Mavis is well-developed and oddly believable, very little is put in place to earn the goosebumps the writers want you to get for Dracula's lost love or Mavis's budding romance. The result is a happily-ever-after only the most gullible minds will accept.

Mostly good animation in an interesting and humorous story. The vampire father is very over protective of his vampire daughter. A human boy discovers Hotel Transylvania that caters to all manner of other worldly creatures. All the guests are terrified of humans, so the boys identity must be kept secret. Clever dialog and humorous characters and situations make the story fun and entertaining. "Dad, I'm not 83 anymore" haha!

Pretty funny actually. Animation looked very good, especially Tarkovsky's traditional animations during the credits scene. Story was something that's been told a thousand times before. The movie did present a VERY optimistic outlook on humanity though, but I guess that's what you get for watching a movie targeted towards 6 year olds.

Extremely entertaining. This film had a soul and a sweet but amusing plot to fill it. Peppercorn moments of hilarity without so much low-brow humour. Great characters, tight script and a lot of fun for anyone, not just children. It also has a surprising theme of racism and prejudice which the characters really connect with on that level, especially Mavis, as well as making people laugh.

A film that's more charming in its frantic animation than its writing or characters, but the rest often straddles the line enough to get a pass. It's true this could've been leagues worse. Sandler surprisingly nails it as Dracula. Enough laughs for adults to get by.

A slightly above average animated effort. Every time the story moves towards something greater the movie insists on throwing unfunny slapstick humour and distracting 3D effects. Near the end there are a few really nice moments that have beautiful animation, but it doesn't elevate the overall product to Pixar levels. Still the best thing Adam Sandler has done in years.

I really enjoyed this film. It was really adorable. I loved all the voice work and I thought some of the monsters were real stand outs. I loved Steve Buscemi as the Werewolf. I also loved the random blog guy. Dracula's facial expressions were priceless and Mavin was just a cute daughter of Dracula. Johnny the human kid voiced by Samberg was awesome, especially his love for things like cliff bars and backpacks. I also loved all the wolf cubs and zombies. Their faces just cracked me up. Very cute!

Not sure why this has such a low rating. It's a charming and fun animated film especially if you like the horror genre. It's also suitably light and funny for kids and interesting enough for adults. It doesn't try hard to be some kind of broadway musical like Disney movies usually end up being. The classic monsters were done well too.

Hotel Transylania is a great movie to take the kids to and has a big-name cast that, frankly, should have been slightly more humorous. It's easy enough to sit through, but there were many jokes that felt as though the timing was just a tad off.

Better than I thought but still a so-so animation. It's enjoyable enough but it's nothing new by way of story or animation. The familiar voices are fun but if you don't like Sandler and co., you'll probably hate it. There probably isn't enough in this for the adults who watch it with their kids to make it a worthwhile movie.

Quite charming and funny (especially the running "Blah bluh BLAH" joke), but flawed. The music is going to date the living hell out of it, especially that cliched dance party ending. I also wasn't thrilled that Mavis was the only female character of substance and that her mother was sacrificed for the sake of giving Drac a reason to be overprotective. Still, this film is well worth seeing just for the amazing cartoony animation.

I definitely wanted more from this, that's for sure. With such a charming premise, I feel like it could've done so much better in different hands. It soars above the majority of Sandler's other recent works (which is still not saying much). If you look past the thin script and total lack of characterization, you'll find a really touching story about a father's love for his daughter and late wife. You just have to look really hard. It at least gets brownie points for those adorable bats.

Filled to the brim with juvenile gross-out humor, frenetic action that takes absolutely no time to breathe, and annoying "trendy" musical numbers. A couple of scenes here and there were okay, mostly those where the writers decided the characters should learn some lessons and grow as characters, but for the most part this is skippable.

I thought I was going to get a cute, pretty original movie about a hotel for monsters. Instead I got a story about a paranoid dad. Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed when I had to listen to Selena Gomez complain about her isolation; Tangled had enough of that. I was okay with the poop and butt jokes at the beginning, but was left unamused as they continually got less and less clever (not saying they were brimming with wit to start).

There is some real talent behind this with the great Genndy Tartakovsky, Robert Smigel and Peter Baynham, but it all feels very homogenised. Cloudy with a chance of meatballs proved that these movies can be very funny, if they can't meet pixar on other levels, so this just feels lazy in comparison. Update: I'm eating crow on this, it's great fun.

I thought a family friendly animation about "Universal monsters" was a good idea, but unfortunately the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Most jokes fall flat and while Drac and Mavis are fun, other characters are boring or annoying. Worth a watch for some beautiful Gothic imagery.

Unexpectedly benign, good natured film lacks the sophistication of the Pixar stable, but as a cheerful, bouncy slice of kiddie entertainment it works very well; the cast of largely HAPPY MADISON alumni acquits itself beautifully, with Sandler at his most likable and appealing; Gomez and Samberg are also very engaging as the young lovers. Bright, colourful animation, minimal use of pop culture references and a genuine sweetness at its core makes this one of the nicer surprises in recent memory.

It is typical children's fodder with a talented voice cast and a wasted central premise. It doesn't quite help this is basically Historical Monsters Grown Ups starting Adam Sandler, Kevin James, David Spade and Steve Buscemi as the "lovable" misfits. A misfire about misfits with a misdirected cast who try and breathe live into an age old story with the intent of aiming at children. It never quite gathers the steam it should have and never quite becomes the film it could have been.

As a fan of classic horror films such as the Universal Monster movies of the 30's and 40's I was very interested in this film. It turned out to be another in a long line of animated film I have seen that while being entertaining and fun to watch is largely a shallow watch. The humor is sometimes hit or mostly miss, the story has been done countless times, and while there is plenty of classic horror fan service, which I liked, it never really felt like this film capitalized on its premise.

It's a kid's movie so know what you're getting into to, with that said I thought it was a fun movie that was overall pretty funny. The whole idea of the "zing" was a bit silly, but overall it was a pretty solid kid's movie. It's not pushing any boundaries or doing anything completely new, but I enjoyed my time watching it.

Adam Sandler's attempt at having an accent is more amusing than anything this film attempts. All the jokes fall flat as they lean on the superficial traits of various Halloween monsters. The core relationship is shallow, wherein the male love interest is an inept doofus who somehow gets the girl deeply infatuated in him despite having no charisma or much of a personality. Its implication of "one true love" is also nauseatingly juvenile. But hey, at least the vampire girl was pretty cute I guess?

I have occasionally clowned on Pixar for the set-your-watch-to-it predictability of their “time for the sad scene so we get critically acclaimed” moments. But watching this in comparison I do understand why Pixar does that - this is TOO frivolous and jokey and corny end to end and could have committed just a bit more to the characters’ emotional authenticity while still being for kids. All that aside it sets up a nice enough monster world and has a catchy ending song; it’s fine, just not great.
