Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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

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!

bkoganbing A whole lot of the magic of the original Gremlins is kind of lost here in the sequel. But it is a rather timely movie because John Glover's performance as millionaire with an edifice complex among other kinds of complexes Daniel Clamp.Zach Galligan now a yuppie moved to New York City is reunited with Diz the Mowgli of the first Gremlins. Galligan works for Clamp and the warnings about feeding after midnight and exposure to water are not heeded. As a result the gremlins grow and multiply and take over Clamp Towers.Story is substituted for gags in this sequel and as a result it's funny but it also loses its classic stature. I will say this though, one would dearly like to see these gremlins move into the current residences of the mogul tycoon that Glover is modeled on. I'll bet they could do a better job.

mark.waltz Taking this to New York City and mixing the nasty monsters of Joe Dante's imagination with the nasty kiss butt employees of John Glover's mega billion dollar office complex provided not only a great story and lots of comedy, but made a nice analogy of how monstrous the corporate world can be in efforts to advance. Set literally across the street from where I work on Park Avenue, this shows a different horror in office suites that goes beyond the running out of coffee, back stabbing co-workers or grouchy bosses. Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates are back, and this time, Ms. Phoebe has a lot more to do. Gone unfortunately are Galligan's parents, but returning are their neighbors, played with small town tourist wide eyed innocence by Dick Miller and Jackie Joseph.This overly proficient and very impersonal office complex has typical over zealous security (lead by a delightfully evil Robert Picardo), an uptight supervisor (the very funny Haviland Morris) with secret lustful feelings towards Zach, a Grandpa Munster like horror movie host (Robert Prosky), Christopher Lee as a weird scientist, and a drunken cooking show hostess, memorably played by the great Kathleen Freeman. There's a lot more comedy, often parodying the whole idea, and playfully making fun of New York all around. In short, there was a lot more imagination put into it with a few inside jokes (including a clever use of the voice of Tony Randall as an intellectual monster) and one that looks suspiciously like a drag queen who takes a shine to Picardo. The Gremlins have more personality this time around too, but gone is the theory that these creatures need to go into some sort of pod in order to reveal their own true colors. They are still as malevolent as ever, but there's a delightful goofiness about each of them that makes each one more endearing, although I'd never want one, even the adorable Gizmo. When they break into "New York, New York" (lead by Randall), it becomes all the more hysterical, especially with Prosky's on the side reporter coverage of the goings on. Warner Brothers even spoofs it's own history with several musical numbers and a parody of Busby Berkeley. Any movie that drops a reference to "Singin' in the Bathtub" is o.k. in my book.
