Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

lukem-52760 I grew up with the GREMLINS films & absolutely love these films as I've watched them hundreds of times on my old double feature video!!! As much as i love Gremlins '84 my favourite of the two is Gremlins 2:The New Batch (1990) i just dig the whole new surroundings such as the big New York City high tech building that all the trouble happens in & the new look each GREMLIN has & that the legendary DICK MILLER is back in a bigger part & the FX are even greater this time & the whole atmosphere is fun & wacky but still with scares & only the BRILLIANT JOE DANTE can mix it up this good & make it great!!! A real childhood classic of mine that makes great late night entertainment That's full of fun & so rewatchable

Smoreni Zmaj This one has significantly better effects than previous and Gremlins are more realistic and scary. From the technical quality point of view it is definitely better movie. But it is also completely different movie and because of taste differences many will disagree with me on which one is better. While first movie has somewhat serious story line, tells the scary tale with some comic reliefs, second movie is more parody to first one than it is its sequel. Yes, story line picks up where first movie left, but tone of the film is completely different. It is not 80's light horror type of the movie any more, it reminds more of Scary Movie type of film. It is fast, fun, full of pranks and references to famous fantasy movies and characters, like Batman, Wicked Witch of Oz and many more. First one has much better story, but this one is definitely better produced and more fun.

Leofwine_draca Joe Dante directs another movie filled with in jokes and references to old horror and science fiction movies, which is a pretty good reason to watch the film if you're a cult movie fan in the first place. Just spotting all of the visual references passes the time pleasingly enough. There isn't a plot but instead the film is full of gags, which is not necessarily a bad thing, in fact it was a pleasure to watch something different for a change.Christopher Lee stars in the film, playing a sinister (what else?) doctor, which is another reason to watch it, and he gets to utter some hilarious lines, such as when he receives a parcel; "Oh splendid this must be my malaria!". This is one of Lee's better roles from the period but to be truthful, that isn't saying much. Also on hand are the twins Don and Dan Stanton, who you may remember from TERMINATOR 2, playing two scientist clones. The in-jokes are numerous; Lee appears carrying a pod from INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS; THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS is playing at the cinema. Hulk Hogan, the epitome of all that was wrong with the early '90s, even puts in a guest appearance! Robert Picardo, best known to audiences as the holographic doctor in STAR TREK: VOYAGER, plays an unlikeable businessman who forms an unlikely bond with a female gremlin. There are a lot of memorable scenes as well, such as when a gremlin is fed into a shredder, causing one hell of a mess! The spider-gremlin is also very creative and well designed, as is the bat-gremlin. Dick Miller, a Dante and Corman regular, puts in a welcome heroic performance as a man on the street who battles the creatures, and Gizmo even becomes Rambo, tying a bandanna around his head after seeing RAMBO : FIRST BLOD PART II on television! There isn't much plot but it's a fun film to watch. Remember, though, kids, that this is primarily a comedy so if you're looking for horror or plot it would be wise to go elsewhere

SnoopyStyle In NYC, billionaire Daniel Clamp (John Glover) wants to buy out Mr. Wing who is holding up his Chinatown project. Forester (Robert Picardo) runs Clamp's security. After Mr. Wing's death, Gizmo barely escapes the demolition. He is captured and then used by Clamp researcher Dr. Catheter (Christopher Lee). Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) is looking to marry Kate Beringer (Phoebe Cates). They both work in the self-contained Clamp Center. Grandpa Fred (Robert Prosky) does a kiddie vampire show for Clamp's TV network.The strange thing about this sequel is that it's going in a different direction. I love the original which is surprisingly scary underneath its family movie facade. This one has a scary spider hybrid. Most of the time, it's having fun with the genre. It's full of modern references and even self-referencing with Leonard Maltin. It's great to have the two leads return for continuity. Overall, the campiness isn't what I want from this franchise but it's still a pretty good time.
