Hotel Transylvania 2 after several years, Dracula finally has a grandson to worry about. in the absence of Mavis and Johnny, Dracula and his friends put Dennis through a 'monster-in-training' boot camp.
A rip-roaring monster ball finale, complete with a whopping great punch-up featuring Dracula, Frankenstein, werewolves and bats, more than makes up for the flaws.
Light on intelligent humour, heavy on the slapstick, the result is once again a mixed bag; an animated effort which will please the young viewers, but not anyone older than maybe 10.
All of these exertions are just enough to graze the 90 minute mark, after which the film gratefully whumps to a close taking its paint-by-numbers character arcs and hopelessly generic jokes with it.
