Double Radio Review: Hotel Transylvania + Dredd

Another week, another double radio review! Follow the links to the full reviews at RadioRevolt.no

Hotel Transylvania 3D: They’re monsters, but they’re actually really nice! Not the most original of concepts (I remember reading about nice vampires in first grade), and not very well executed. The animation is far from inspired, and the jokes are either out-dated or just not that funny. The film has some warmth, but just let your kids re-watch Monsters Inc. if they want nice monsters.

Dice roll: 2

Dredd 3D: Based on the comic, not the Stallon-movie, Dredd offers up more than its fair share of blood and gore. It’s a ballet of slow-motion carnage as Judge Dredd fights his way though a Mega-Skyscraper ruled over by the deranged “queen-pin” Ma-Ma. I had mixed feelings all the way through, but it’s the lack of any sort of irony that made me roll my eyes just one time too many. Watch it if you’re a fan of pure, unadulterated action with the thinnest of plots.

Dice roll: 3
