“An action packed family oriented movie. The new meaning of monsters.” – Seasielle
Introduction:
Hotel Transylvania One, really captured my attention. It’s so entertaining and had a moral lesson. Upon the announcement that there would be a part two, I patiently waited for the release date and marked it already on my calendar.
Last September 25, 2015, I’ve watched the said film together with my mom since I need a companion. We’ve watched at around 4:00 in the afternoon and the cinema is somehow jampacked.
Verdict About the Movie:
Once again, Dracula and his gang together with Mavis and Johnny are back with an additional member of the family – Dennis. The cutest and most adorable baby ever.
Running time: 89 minutes
Notable Characters: Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez
Let me divide my review into three parts.
First part: The wedding and Dennis birth
In this particular event, Mavis finally wed Johnny. After a year, a baby boy was born – Dennis. The whole hotel Transylvania was put under baby care or in other words, every monster, every pointed objects and every thing that’s dangerous for Dennis is required to be protected or to wear a safety gear since they’re not yet sure if Dennis is a vampire or a human or half.
Second part: The struggles and misunderstanding inside Hotel Transylvania
I considered this part as the climax of the story. This is where all the emotions were built and all problems were exposed.
Mavis wanted Dennis to have a normal life – the one that Johnny had during his childhood and teen age years. She insisted to live in California where Johnny grew up. Upon learning this, Dracula was so worried. Good thing, Frankenstein suggested that he should allow Mavis to visit California. Well, because of that suggestion Dracula had an awesome plan, and so on.
While in California, Dracula made sure he’s plan will push through. Together with his gang plus Dennis, they try to revisit their past and how they became scary monsters. Unfortunately, it was the other way around. Everything went wrong, well for Dracula’s point of view only. Because of the said incident, Mavis and Johnny went back immediately to Transylvania and promised Dracula that after the birthday party of Dennis, they will now move in to California.
Third part: Acceptance, Love and Closure
This is the part where all the characters will resolve all misunderstanding and where they will share the true meaning of Agape Love.
Mavis invited all the relatives of Johnny and even his grandfather, Vlad. Because of this scenario, Dennis suppose to be “happiest birthday” became his worst nightmare and it turned into a total disaster. Dennis ran away with Winnie in a tree house. While they were there, Vlad’s bodyguard smelled Dennis as human and tried to kill him. Then the most amazing thing happened.
Well, after everything, there’s a happy ending now.
Moral Lessons:
“You cannot force someone who are not like you to be the same as you.” – Mavis to Dracula
“You cannot make someone who are not they are to be the one you want them to be.” – Mavis to Dracula
Love and acceptance are the two words we must share to others to make them feel our sincerity.
Recommendation:
I’m highly recommending this film to all of you, especially for the whole family. It’s truly worth the money and worth the time.
God bless!
