Customer Reviews of Gremlins 2 - The New Batch
"Gremlins 2"-As good as the first,maybe better I love this movie! The first "Gremlins" was scary,the sequel is hilarious.The idea of the gremlins running amok inside a New York high-rise,is great.This movie has so many in-jokes I have to watch it over and over to find them all,and i'm not done yet.I have probably seen this film 25 times. I've written this before,but "I love Joe Dante films"!!They are the best.He is the most underrated director working today.every film he makes doesn't disappoint.He always works with the best people.Jerry Goldsmith's scores for his films are thegreatest.The critics just don't get Dante's humour,and alot of moviegoers don't either.Gremlins 2 is definately not oscar material,but it is not supposed to be.It's just entertainment,and on that level it succeeds perfectly.If you loved the first gremlins,are a huge movie fan,or just want to laugh like crazy.See this movie.
EQUAL SEQUEL
Gremlins 2 has a bigger scope than the first film. It takes place in Manhattan and deals with a lot more than the original did. The main difference is that Gremlins 2 is kind of a spoof of the first. With frequent references to it (even by Leonard Maltin at one point) and only 2 characters (or 3 if you include Gizmo) it's not really continuing the Gremlins story but using it to make fun of early '90s big city culture.
There are a gazillion in-jokes and dozens of cameos all over the place. Including Jerry Goldsmith who's music is even better in this movie than in the first. It is such a cool and catchy little theme. I love it.
The Gremlins seem cuter and funnier in this one. My fave Gremlin is Daffy, he's insane. The other main ones are George (the frowner), Lenny (the dumb one) and Mohawk (the one with the uh...mohawk). And of course there's Gizmo. I wish so much that Mogwai were real because he's so cute and adorable.
Rent this movie or catch it on TV. If you like it wait for Warner to release the DVD. The opportunity for extras and invention is endless.
One last thing. Stay with this movie until the credits have finished.
Gremlins in Gotham
I'm not saying this just because I am a New Yorker, but GREMLINS 2--THE NEW BATCH is slightly better than the original. First, it's a much less mean-spirited film than the first (which I also gave five stars, but for different reasons). Just the fact that a character who was crushed to death in the first film, shows up in the sequel (wearing a small cast) because he really was likeable, shows that Joe Dante and the scriptwriters were going into this film for the fun of it. Second, the casting was flawless. Whoever chose Tony Randall to do the voice of the strangely-William F. Buckley-sounding, intellectual gremlin was responding to nothing short of divine inspiration. Everyone involved in this production had their hearts in the right places and the effect shows. GREMLINS 2--THE NEW BATCH is an astounding piece of comic fantasy and horror that should endure.
