Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Paul Magne Haakonsen The furry space munchers are back in Grover's Bend..."Critters 2" has a good storyline that is easy to follow and also serves as a great continuation of the storyline from the first movie. It is a combination of the events in the storyline and the detailed characters that makes the movie good.It was nice to have Scott Grimes (playing Brad), Terrence Mann (playing Ug) and Don Keith Opper (playing Charlie) return to the sequel, which added a great sense of continuity to the movie. Furthermore, the movie also have Lin Shaye, Barry Corbin and Sam Anderson on the cast list, so if you have watched movies during the 1980s there is a good amount of familiar faces to be seen here. But in general, the casting was good and they had some nice talents appearing in the movie. And people were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters.The pacing of "Critters 2" is fairly much the same as in the previous movie. However, it takes some twenty odd minutes before the movie starts to get up in gear. So taking 20 something minutes to set the atmosphere and build up the story was a bit tedious. Especially since we already am familiar with the concept of the critters from the first movie.Some of the scenes were actually quite nice, especially when you had the critter's point of view of the surroundings and the world in which it was running around in, before it got squished.The special effects team were doing a great job with their work on "Critters 2", and it was nice to see that they had given them more money, because the effects were definitely a notch up in comparison to the effects seen in the first movie. The critters are starting to look more interesting and more life-like.There is a a good atmosphere to the movie, and the setting was good. And it worked out quite well with the specific style of cinematography and the work of director Mick Garris. There is a very "Gremlins 2" feel to this sequel with the increased comedy level of the movie. So if you like that or not is a matter of personal preference, of course. I did enjoy it.The music score for "Critters 2" is quite good and it suits the movie and the atmosphere of the movie quite well. It is subtle enough to function as background music, yet still prominent enough to demand attention.I must say that the critters design is really interesting, and I like it quite a lot. They are every bit as funny as they are ferocious. They looks like cuddly small creatures, but are in fact crazed feeding machines. But the design of the featureless bounty hunters is also quite interesting, and I especially like their shape-changing ability that allows them to mimic the appearance of others.If you enjoyed the first "Critters" movie, then you will definitely also like the sequel. And like its predecessor, "Critters 2" is a wonderful mix of Sci-Fi, horror and comedy, with the introduction of more comedy compared to the previous movie.

slimer8489 After I saw the first Critters film, I wanted to see the sequel, Critters 2: The Main Course (the subtitle is mysteriously missing from the film's IMDb page). After seeing the trailer (and Siskel & Ebert's review on it), I really thought this movie was gonna blow. I thought this would be like Batman & Robin, a goofy, light-hearted sequel to a dark, epic, bad-ass film. I then sat down to watch the movie (ironically, before Easter, the holiday that this movie takes place in), and thankfully, it wasn't like Batman & Robin.This sequel gives us back Bradley Brown, the boy from the first film, who has grown up a bit. Time has passed since the Crite incident, but people still remember the Brown family. Crite eggs are found, but are mistaken for Easter eggs. The eggs end up getting into the town, and when they hatch... All Hell breaks loose! This is a sweet sequel. The puppeteers really showed off their abilities here (case in point: The Criteball, which is a highlight.) I love Bradley Brown's character, and I'm glad that they picked him for a Brown family member to bring back.Also, just like the predecessor, the bounty hunters are still cool as ever. Surprisingly, Ug is still disguised as Johnny Steele.So far, this is the last Critters movie that I saw. I plan on seeing the other two, but have second thoughts on them. Critters 3 looks okay, and Critters 4 just looks boring.Another thing, I believe that the rating for this film on here should be up a bit, at almost the same rating as the first film.

Michael_Elliott Critters 2 (1988) ** (out of 4) Rather bland sequel finds Brad (Scott Grimes) returning to his hometown where a bunch of creature eggs have just hatched and soon the fur balls are attacking more people. Bounty hunter Ug (Terrence Mann) and his group show back up to try and stop them but this time they have help from the small town. CRITTERS 2 isn't really a bad movie but it's yet another sequel that was quickly made to cash-in on the success of the original film. As is the case with most of these films, there really wasn't too much thought put into the picture and it's basically just a remake of the first one, which is a real shame. Pretty much everything that made the first film so good is missing here including the characters that you like, the imagination and especially the fun. It's really disappointing that so many people from the original didn't make it back but this here happens most of the time. Sadly none of the new characters are all that interesting and even the Brad character doesn't have the same charm. Ug and his pal do what they can but even these two just don't have the same magic. I will say that it's pretty funny to see how much female nudity managed to get into this film and its PG-13 rating. The screenplay doesn't really offer the viewer anything they didn't see the first time around and a lot of the humor just falls flat. Just take a look at the sequence with the Easter Bunny and you'll see a perfect example of laughs not working. The one saving grace are the little creatures, which are as fun as always. I thought their design was quite good and I especially liked the baby ones that first start to hatch. Another good thing is that they're actually meaner than in the first picture but it's too bad they don't have anyone great to go up against.

Coventry Whilst re-watching the original "Critters" for the sixteenth time or something, I suddenly realized that I never actually bothered to see any of its sequels. Luckily all those glorious favorite 80's horror franchises are available in box collection sets on the internet nowadays, so you don't really have to search for a long time. "Critters 2" is in many ways a very prototypical, standardized and logical sequel to an unexpected modest cult hit. The famous names in the cast have gone (Dee Wallace and M. Emmet Walsh) and were replaced with inferior actors, the lesser famous names reprise their roles but have obviously grown as actors (Scott Grimes and Don Opper), the monsters are much more plentiful (enough to form one gigantic munching bowling ball), the scope of their attacks is much wider (the entire town of Grover's Bend and its inhabitants instead of just one farmhouse family) and the whole damn thing is just a tad bit sillier, sleazier and nastier. Supposedly two years after the first invasion, Brad returns to Grover's Bend to spend the Easter Holiday with his grandmother. Just at that exact same time – speaking of coincidence – the Krites eggs that were left behind last time are mistaken for funny looking Easter eggs and spread all over town for the annual festivities. When the eggs hatch and the ravenous little monsters run amok all around, Brad can finally prove that he wasn't just the village idiot two years ago, and also the bounty hunters from space return to the rescue. This second installment was co-written and directed by Mick Garris, who's always been obsessed the horror genre and literally stuffs his scenarios with little inside jokes & references to other classics. The greatest quality of the Critters, a downright fantastic design by the wonderful Chiodo Brothers, is that they might look silly and easily conquerable, but they're nevertheless sadist and relentless little monsters that are not to be underestimated. Like it ought to be in a sequel, they're a lot more bloodthirsty and commit several nasty attacks. Enjoyable guff for the fans of marvelous 1980's.
