Hotel Transylvania 2
SCORE: 70
Hotel Transylvania 2 is one of the funniest animated movies I have seen all year long. I am thankful that Family Friendly Gaming is blessed enough to be able to purchase this movie on DVD. Don’t get me started on the representing companies PR & Marketing failures.
I see both sides of the coin concerning Hotel Transylvania 2. Front side is trying to normalize monsters. Make things that are evil, and try to make them look good. The back side of the coin is to try and make monsters safer for families and kids. So it can reach a larger audience.
There is plenty of social commentary in Hotel Transylvania 2. Like how kids are being made into wimps by making everything safe for them. Real child endangerment is not allowing kids to deal with anything bad because it denies them any real growth and development.
Hotel Transylvania 2 also touches on parenting, and grandparents. As well as loving our kids (and grand kids) no matter what they become. Plenty of parents want their kids to follow them in their footsteps. Hotel Transylvania 2 deals with this, and exposes too many parents say they are happy with whatever their kids turn out to be, but really want them to be just like them. There is some deep stuff in Hotel Transylvania 2.
Some of the bonus features on the Hotel Transylvania 2 DVD are Fifth Harmony Music Video, Character Sketch Gallery, Commentary with the director, and commentary with Adam Sandler. It takes eighty-nine minutes to watch Hotel Transylvania 2. Our family had a blast watching this movie. There are plenty of funny moments in Hotel Transylvania 2.
I hope this franchise continues for a few more movies. They put some interesting concepts and ideas in Hotel Transylvania 2. I am not fond of humans being mocked, made fun of, and treated so poorly. Spoiler Alert! I really wish Dennis had stayed a human at the end of the movie. It would have been so much better in my personal opinion. I see how the story worked once he got his fangs.
