Critics Consensus

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation delivers exactly what fans will expect - which means another 97 agreeably lightweight minutes of fast-paced gags and colorful animation.

Tepid, though not entirely charmless...

Rated: 2/5

Irish Times

Even watched beside various incarnations of the Addams and the Munsters, this remains the most family-friendly and proudly silly of all the monster dynasties.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Hotel Translyvania 3 looks very much a B-movie, with characters that are easy to like but hard to love. Still, at just 97 minutes it doesn't outstay its welcome.

Rated: 3/5

For all the music that Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation offers, it amounts to a one-note production.

...though there's no sunshine in the movie, Hotel Transylvania 3 definitely has a summer vibe. And watching these characters try to navigate the naturally corny nature of a cruise ship vacation is pretty hilarious.

It's still on the harmless side and makes perfect sense but it's the worst of the trilogy by a mile. Animation isn't bad but there are a lot of dumb scenes here. the whole hidden tomb on the ship from Indiana Jones was so out of place and made me question what I'm watching. The D.J. battle at the end is so stupid also. It is still fluid and creative at times though. The music is alright and easily the worst of the three. While the others had problems with mixing of genres, this just has way too much variety and too many dance tracks that just don't fit. Voice acting is on the ok side of things. Sandler here isn't bad but just doesn't sound as crisp in the other ones. The new characters are alright. Everyone returning is just kind of there for gags rather than anyhing else. There not given much to work with. Editing and pacing aren't good. Once they get on the cruise ship, stuff just happens, too much happens, nonsense, and too many gags. It just gets muddled bouncing around between the romance, Mavis and her Dad, gags with the gang, pointless subplots, and other things. The humor is alright but easily the worst of the three. It just relies too much on humor here and feels like it gets too stupid at times and into too much slapstick. Skip this. Boy cruise ship movies just have a terrible record overall. Still better than social media influencer films though.

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

In my opinion, this is the best one, but in my little sister’s, the first one is better.
