Lazy and incredibly incompetent, Hotel Transylvania 4 is at most a rather lacking sequel, and at its worse, one of the worst animated films i've ever seen. Although very different and very spread out in time, both Hotel Transylvania and Ice Age played a part in my upbringing and were both films I really enjoyed. Now to see both franchises turn over in their grave with a straight to streaming sequel with half done animation and lacking original stars is quite an odd coincidence- especially for a single year in animation- but nevertheless, somehow, 2022 was able to make this mistake twice. Although Hotel Transylvania 4 may not have been quite as horrible as the most recent Ice Age installment- it still bares its head as an absolutely shameful piece of filmmaking. Its animation is crude and under finished, its voice acting is incredibly forced- with no one seeming to have a decent time, and its story is repetitive and lacking any heart or charm like the last films. Heck, I didn't even like 2 or 3, but I would take them anyday over this trainwreck- at least they kinda tried, but this one was officially the nail on the head of the coffin- pun intended. From the fact we are repeating plotlines like Johnny not being accepted, even though that was cleared up literally in the FIRST FILM, just proves they have completely ran out of ideas- and the fact that even Sandler didn't even wanna star in this one in honestly saying something. That guy never backs down a shitty movie. In the end, Hotel Transylvania 4 is at best a waste of time, and at its worst- a total loss of human comprehension and brain cells that i'm honestly even surprised exists.
