Unpopular opinion: Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation actually is?
Director clearly thought Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation?
Honestly, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
