The Ending is such a slap in the face and a let down
Obvious spoilers ahead.
Ok, I didn't think this movie was great, just ok and harmless, at least until the end. The first one was more entertaining, had a bit more heart and different situations, and much more energy. I would have particularly liked to see more of the great grand father, and not just in the climax. I was expecting him a lot sooner and to be a bigger part in the movie, it would have made the conflict more interesting. But I digress.
What really killed my semi-enjoyment of the film was when they decided to make the kid a vampire.
I mean, why? They spend the whole film trying to make Drac comes to term that not everything will always go his way, and that he has to accept that his daughter will have to leave to start her family life on their own at one point or another and that the kid will not turn out to be exactly how he hopes to, but that's ok because he loves him anyway. I also thought it was very sweet how the young werewolf girl was still loving Denis despite the fact that he was a human. This was good messages and a theme that I thought the movie handled quite well.
However, when the kid became a vampire, everything became meaningless and pointless. Denis was just another part of this world, he had no more conflict to go through, Drac got everything he wanted (his daughter and his grand son "had" to stay with him now) and even the great grand father was again a part of the family.
So the message is "we will accept you and love you no matter who you are, but still less that if you become everything we always expected of you".
Really dissapointing, it's like if at the end of "Shrek 2", Fiona and Shrek had stayed humans...
