Plot: Where the original Gremlins was a horror film spiked with comedy, Gremlins 2: The New Batch is essentially a black comedy, with a couple of horrifying touches. As the film starts, the fantastical trinket shop in Chinatown, which sold the Mogwai in the first film, is demolished by a crazed multi-media businessman called Daniel Clamp (John Glover). The heroes from the first movie, Billy (Zach Galligan) and Kate (Phoebe Cates), happen to work for Clamp in his huge high-rise. They find the Mogwai within Clamp's building, but not before he has accidentally spawned legions of mischievous, lizard-like Gremlins. Soon, the Gremlins are wreaking havoc throughout the building. In the original film, their misdeeds were violent, but here they're also goofy and satirical. Director Joe Dante has filled the film with quick verbal and visual jokes, which, for many, makes Gremlins 2: The New Batch a satire and inversion of the typical horror film. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

Awesome movie. Part of the few sequels out there that are better than the original. Definitely recommend it.

Bought for my daughter. It was fun to watch when I was younger, and she likes it a lot now. Campy, and with a decent soundtrack, I expected nothing less.

They Were Told About The Rules, But They Didn't Listin, Now The Gremlins Are Now Going To Cause Mayham and Mistif All Over Again.

Long Away From Kingston Falls, Billy and Kate Are Now Working at Clamp INC. in New York City. After Gizmo's Chinease Owner Dies, Gizmo Goes Looking For Billy in New York City. But After Getting Wet, The Nasty Green Monsters Are on The Loose in Clamp INC. and Causing Mistif and Mayham All Over Again. But Insted of Having The Same Monsterus Maham Monsters Like in The First Film, The Gremlins Have Diffrent Porsinalties, Such as A Daffy Gremlin, Spider Gremlin, and A Brain Gremlin (Brilliantly Voiced By Tony Randall). Now Billy, Kate, Mr. Futterman, and Gizmo Must Distroy These Diffrent Prosanalaty Gremlins in One Big Building in New York.

GREMLINS 2 is As Great and Possably Better Than The Origanal Horror-Classic Released in 1984. Most of The Fun Comes From The Diffrent Porsanality Gremlins in The Sequel and The Best In My Opinon is THE BRAIN GREMLIN Voiced By Tony Randall.Gizmo is Even More Fun Than Ever When He Tries Turning To His Favorite Action Hero RAMBO.

The Action in The Fist Film Was More Horror-Like and Scary. The Action in The Second Film is More Comicly Horror-Like Than Scary, and The Sequel Just Makes It More Fun To Watch.

The Best Moment in This Horror-Sequel is When The Gremlins Take Over The Clamp INC. Lobby and The Brain Gremlin is Singing ''New York, New York'' (Which I Wished It Was On The Soundtrack, But Sadly It Isn't).

Overall, Gremlins 2 is A Must-See Sequel, and It Seceseds On What Over Sqequels Fail At, and That's Making It As Fun and Possibly Better Than The Origanal.

I Recomend If You Liked Gremlins 2 You Should Also See The Origanal Classic Gremlins and The Critters Series.

The Deleted Scenes Are All Very Great, and As I Mintchened in My GREMLINS (SPECIAL EDITION) Review, I Hope There's Going To Be An Extinded Edition Someday. The Making of GREMLINS 2 is Probly The BEST Making of I've Ever Seen as It's More of Making Fun of A Making Of Than It's Suposed To Be More Informantive.

The Commentary is Another Great Thing on This DVD Has Well as Info On Why Thay Did The Sequel and Some Ideas That Were Dicided Not To Do In The Sequel. The Gag Reel of GREMLINS 2 is The Funniest Gag Reel I've Ever Seen On Any DVD Ever Released, Even Showing Some Mistakes That Happened on The Deleted Scenes.

More Humor Makes This A More Appealing Gremlins Film
Added 2/18/2009

When this came out, it was an amazing movie because these Gremlin creatures looked so lifelike. They still look pretty real. What I like best about this film is that it took the hard edge off the first one and made it more of a comedy. To me, this sequel was more entertaining than the first film and one I would watch a lot more times. It's also family-friendly.

There are so many jokes and wild scenes in here it would many viewings to catch them all. For movie buffs, it's especially fun with all the references to other films in here.

However, it should be pointed out that there are still plenty of scenes where the gremlins are nasty and attack people, so the film is still horror-like in that respect. It may be played for comedic purposes, but these creatures are anything but friendly. In other words, there is still a bit of a hard edge in here for people who want that.

Phoebe Cates and Zach Galligan reprise their roles as the cute, small-town, wholesome (despite not being married, however) couple who live together who, of course, know all about these gremlins.

It was nice to see Jackie Joseph (of the original "Little Shop Of Horrors") again as well as some other well-known characters such as Christopher Lee, Robert Prosky, Dick Miller and Keye Luke.

The film just flies by, which tells you it's entertaining.
