Director Genndy Tartakovsky returns to direct the poorly rushed and inevitable sequel to the 2012 hit Hotel Transylvania.
This time around, Drac is afraid his grandson might not be the monster he wants him to be and crazy animated hijinks ensue as he and his creepy crawly buddies try to remedy this.
With it's lack of wit and focus on more silly childish gags, it seems the film isn't even trying to equal it's predecessor and is comfortable focusing only on keeping the attention of the younger crowd. There's a few clever gags but it's mostly just fast-paced zaniness leading nowhere resulting in even lesser of a bite than the first film barely mustered up.

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA [2012]
Director Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Laboratory & Samurai Jack) makes his feature film debut with the CGI animated film, Hotel Transylvania.
It's not necessarily a great film but the energy put into the animation and character design is enough to keep an eye on it. Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg and Kevin James surprised me with some strong voice work that brought a lot to their characters and expressions. It supplies a few chuckles for the adults but will mostly attract the younger viewers with it's upbeat and vibrant mood.
