Gremlins 2 has always belonged alongside the original in terms of quality and execution. It's a sequel that has a lot of fun poking fun at technology, corporate interests, and its own legacy. Joe Dante and writer Charlie Haas put together something that took giant swings and gave us one of the best damn sequels of the '90s!

Gremlins 2 is unironically one of my favorite childhood and adulthood movies. I watched it so often, the plastic vhs case was beat! It may still be in my basement. Oh God I hope so! Now I have to look!

It's probably already been said here but the true genius of this film - and it is absolutely perfect in every way - is that in the end the story IS a complete rehash of the original, but everything else overwhelms you with sheer awesomeness and it just doesn't matter.

I always loved Gremlins 2. I saw it when it came out and loved it instantly. And it's a movie with hundreds of tiny little monsters. Of course it's horror. If people want to say it's not horror because it's more funny than it is scary, then I will ask, are The Nightmare on Elm Street movies after number 3 considered comedy or horror? Because they are not scary but it's funny when people insist they may be.

I always prefered The New Batch, because it went balls to the walls. The first one is good but could easily have ended up like the critter movies, the leprachan movies, trolls etc but i really think it found it’s tone in the second one with all the meta humor and some scary scenes. I’m sad that it wasn’t as liked because i would have loved to see how crazy they could have gone with a third one. And the effects are amazing and still holds up for the most part. If i had a gun to my head and was asked wich one i like the most i wouldn’t even hesitate to say The New Batch.

Great review! Gremlins 2 is pure insanity (It’s simply amazing a sequel like this was ever made) loved it since the first time i seen it in 1990 dare i say it’s better then the Original (i think people who don’t like it think they are smarter then they are) Gremlins 2 & Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 are two sequels that change the rules what a sequel could be in 2022 and beyond this could never happen again (Hollywood is to safe to actually think outside the box)

Kind of crazy just how well this movie still holds up to this day. The commentary may be a 90s era parody of Wall Street and a Younger Donald Trump with Clamp’s character, but the themes of rampant, dumb consumerism and greed are actually kind of timeless. Wild how a movie with a burping, vegetable monster can actually have smart theming.

@christopherwaldrop5293 10 месяцев назад

I saw this in the theater and was so enthralled when the film "melted" and the Gremlin silhouettes appeared I whispered to my friend, "Is this really happening?" It's a shame you can't do that with digital but then Gremlins 2 was so brilliant in that it did so many things that could only be done once.

@jonnybaze7449 2 года назад

This is always a good move when making a sequel to a very good movie. If you can’t top in spoof it or change the genre. Gremlins 2, Texas chainsaw massacre 2, Terminator 2, Aliens, etc

@TheSlong123 2 года назад

Redletter media was the 1st to compare Matrix 4 to Gremlins 2. Exactly the same story. WB wants a sequel. Going to do it either way. The original director comes back but only to make it meta and different. When I seen M4 I was thinking. This is just like Gremlins 2. I was so impressed that reviewers noticed and brought up the history of WB and Gremlins 2.

Watch _Hellzapoppin',_ a film from 1941. Seriously. _Hellzapoppin'_ as far as I know has no disc release in the States-some conflict of rights-but it _is_ here on RU-vid. I can’t cite a source right now, but Joe Dante considers _Hellzapoppin'_ an influence-it’s a movie about making movies in the center of this surrealistic film’s setting. If you, gentle reader, are not afraid of non-horror movies, and can bear the foolishness and shortsightedness of times past, you will find the DNA of _Gremlins 2…_ …and maybe you’ll get as much of a kick out of _Hellzapoppin'_ as I do!
