Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022)
Entertaining
I don't get all the negative reviews and low ratings. I think people must really be overthinking things. Yes, the plot is pretty simple and events are predictable but this is a movie made for children so the plot does not have to be overly intricate and clever. If it is, then it's probably not going to be enjoyable for a young child to watch. My 10 year old and 12 year old both really enjoyed the movie. It was pretty good, not as good as the first one but I actually enjoyed it more than the second and third ones. It's not a masterpiece or anything but it's good fun. I think it's just about setting realistic expectations.

Disappointed
I never write reviews about movies but I was so let down with this movie that I had to. I took my 4 year old to see this based on a lot of the positive reviews. First of all, to be fair, the animation is pretty good. That's the only good thing. This movie was disturbingly hostile from the very start. Almost every major scene revolves around someone hurting someone else. This fact overrides any positive messages in the movie, in my opinion. The word 'd*mn' is used at least 3 times from what I can recall, if not more. It's one thing when your kids hear that kind of language from strangers in public places but it's another thing to have it delivered to them in a children's movie. I've seen a lot of kids movies but can't think of one that has a level of hostility/violence anything close to this (harshly abandoning a kitten, trying to shoot a kitten with a shotgun, bulldozing a house, sending an old man to the hospital, the list goes on). I regret taking my daughter to see it and the money I paid to see this was a total waste.
