RageLite Review - Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster (Summer) Vacation (A Strange Halloween 2)


After 2 Hotel movies, they’ve run out of steam
And needed the action set someplace pristine
A mockery of sorts to Sandler’s film schemes
He films for a holiday with friends, so it seems

A major departure could shake up the game
New prospects for jokes, that aren’t kinda lame
Only the third film is yet to be seen
It’s a Monster Vacation on a Strange Halloween



Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster Vacation or Summer Vacation for the Americans reading this was released in 2018 and despite being released in the summer, usually a fairly crowded movie period, it earned $580m on an $80m budget. Why did Spider-verse only make $375m again?

New team of writers, Genndy Tartakovsky, who has experience with CW cartoons including favourites like Samurai Jack, he also directed both of the previous movies so knows this franchise pretty well, Michael McCullers joins him. His most recent other works include Boss Baby, *sigh* and he’s apparently working on Shrek 5, be prepared for when that comes out, eventually. Still, he seems to have experience with comedy which should be good for this, right?

When it comes to critical response, more critics seem to like it than the audience, that isn’t unheard of (see the reaction to The Last Jedi, which I still enjoy btw) but whilst the critic score averages out at 5.45/10, the audience score averages 3.2/5, so is this the best of worst one yet? Let’s take a look.
