This third entry into the kid friendly series of universal monster mash-ups sees the gang get away from it all by setting sail on a luxury cruise for monsters. While there Dracula begins to fall for the ship's Captain, Erica... not realising that she is actually the descendant of the legendary vampire slayer, Abraham Van Helsing.
The first two films in this series are enjoyable enough, and this third entry does little to break the mold. We have the same characters, similar situations, similar jokes... and whereas the intro showing Van Helsing vs Dracula over the years is admittedly quite cool, the rest of the film feels like a bunch of forced ideas to "make another one of those films the kids like", and I must say I found myself zoning out constantly. My daughter loves this film, and I get that I don't fit into the target audience, but for what it's worth I feel the previous two films are both superior. Still, at least this is vastly better than the dreadful 4th film, so at least that's something...
