What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hotel Transylvania's buoyant, giddy tone may please children, but it might be a little too loud and thinly-scripted for older audiences.

Tara Brady Irish Times The characters and story, forged by six different directors and many more writers over a six-year-production stint, leave little room for Tartakovsky tricks and tics. Rated: 2/5 Oct 13, 2012 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Comedy gothic isn't exactly novel, and frankly there is a sense here of a movie coasting along on Halloween hype-marketing, without providing as many laughs and ideas as it really could have done. Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2012 Full Review Tom Huddleston Time Out No one does saccharine like Adam Sandler. The man can be sharp, angry and funny - but when he lays on the sweetness, it's like drowning in an avalanche of Tate & Lyle. Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2012 Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek Hotel Transylvania’s monster mash is utterly hollow. Rated: 2/5 May 3, 2024 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Hotel Transylvania isn't a brilliant animated feature, but it is a consistently entertaining one with Sandler's trademark silliness mixed with sweetness. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Cleaver Patterson CineVue The way this collection of monster misfits tackle both each other and the threat of human invasion has the right degree of wit and sophistication to amuse adults whilst being zany and slapstick enough to hold children's attention. Rated: 3/5 Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review JAYDEN c I used to hate this movie before, but I started to… love it now… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/25 Full Review Vincent W Pretty innocent, fun, nostalgic kids movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Leviathan M The idea of Count Dracula making a hotel to protect her daughter from humans is not a bad idea, and the jokes made me chuckle, for example, humans in that film used to want them dead, but now they seem to like the monsters as if they were celebrities. For a film from 2012, it delivers a cult classic for the family. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Comedy F What a great movie to watch during the holidays, loved it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Ryland C Great film for the premise alone. There’s other things that’s great about it as well obviously. In general a great movie to watch in the Halloween season! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
