ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Osmosis Iron This might be not as good as the first, but obviously the originality was gone and it was a really great movie! So what did they do? They went crazier and bigger! This time around it's total insanity and it works oh so well. They are constantly going meta and breaking the fourth wall(not to mention all the other walls!). This time around there are so many different types of Gremlins too which makes even more joke possibilities, it's fantastic! This and the first one are different, but they are equally awesome. This is one of the craziest all out sequels(or just movies even) out there, give it a chance!
hellholehorror Cleaner image than the first movie. The creature effects go to the next level too. Great use of all the speakers except the bass speaker which was a little soft. This takes everything to the next level. There is more comedy, more crazy gremlins and that's your lot. Much less serious than the first and I prefer it that way.
tuckerconstable-07055 Six years after the events of the first "Gremlins", Gizmo and Mr. Wing are still living in their small shop located in New York. One day, some money hungry executives for Clamp Industries try and convince Wing that his store needs to be demolished in order to make room for the gigantic Clamp Office Building that is being prepared to be built. A few months later, Mr. Wing passes away and Gizmo is now left out on the streets, the real film begins when he is captured by two scientists for Clamp Industries. Meanwhile, Billy and Kate from the first film are now engaged and just happened to be living in New York where Billy works for Clamp. One thing leads to another and Billy finds Gizmo in the lab. Another thing leads to another thing and bada-bing-bada-boom, Gremlins! Except this time, the gremlins are running loose inside of a twenty story office building. And now they're are new gremlins to run amuck, like the spider gremlin, the bat gremlin, the brain gremlin, the female gremlin, the electric gremlin, the singing gremlins, the trench coat gremlins and the greatest screen villain of all time...the vegetable gremlin. "Gremlins 2 The New Batch" is a fun sequel, and in places it's somewhat of a parody of the original, which is an interesting move that idea brings in plenty of jokes. But where the film fails is it just has too many ideas and jokes going on for it to just focus on the plot for a second. What would have been nice is a little more character development between Billy and Kate, but no we have to have the gremlins sing "New York, New York" in a pointless musical number. It's all incredibly fun, but when these endless sequences of in joke after in joke keep going on, you can't help but get the feeling that the plot is just sitting around, waiting to move on.All in all, "Gremlins 2 The New Batch" isn't really a bad film at all. It has interesting ideas and a decent plot, but it feels too manic for it's own good. What the film needs is a nice trim around the edges to cut out some of the fattier areas of it-specifically the endless gremlin scenes. I know it's called gremlins, but gees, we don't need that many.
Filipe Neto "Gremlins", as usually happens with very popular and profitable films, gave rise to a sequel where the whole story of the first film is repeated, giving reason to the old saying according to which we're doomed to repeat the same mistakes until learn with them. This time, however, the monsters are going to storm a skyscraper, home to an important corporation run by an individual who, at first glance, looks like a caricature of Donald Trump. The unfortunate "mogwai", a friendly creature who, unwillingly, gives birth to this plague when it's not treated in accordance with strict safety rules, will therefore try to help humans put them down again.The direction and production crew remains basically the same from the first film and the script remains in Chris Columbus hands. Steven Spielberg continues as executive producer, but definitely is no longer needed his help to sell the film: the sweetness of Gizmo and the hilarious tricks of the Gremlins sell for themselves. This film is often labeled a horror comedy, like its predecessor, but I consider it too soft to be horror. Didactic and educational messages from the first film are still present, making it a didactic comedy designed to teach young people. Particularly interesting, however, it's the fact that the monster's target is an impersonal capitalist corporation, similar like many other in our times and more concerned with profits and buildings than human or ethical issues. Is this an implicit morality lesson? Perhaps. See for yourself and gather the family, it's a fun movie and will surely provide many laughs.
