      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Gremlins 2 trades the spiky thrills of its predecessor for looney satire, yielding a succession of sporadically clever gags that add some flavor to a recycled plot.

      Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune 'Gremlins 2'' is sloppy and inconsistent, just as it needs to be -- its bumptious, adolescent humor would wilt away if it were subjected to craftsmanship and mature reflection. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 23, 2020 Full Review John Hartl Seattle Times What lends it novelty and makes it such wicked fun is the change of locale from a Capra-esque small town to rude, hectic New York City. Jun 23, 2020 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times Gremlins 2 The New Batch has so much comic energy that we overlook its lack of anything worth calling a plot. Jun 23, 2020 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Not only is it better than the first... it is the best film of the summer. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The story is essentially a duplication of the original film. Rated: 5/10 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Many filmmakers throughout the years have tried to figure out how to make a live-action cartoon; Joe Dante, with this film, is the only man that got it 100% right. Rated: 5/5 Aug 18, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Maikel K Very chaotic but fun Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Brianna B The first movie was a horror movie, this is definitely a comedy, but still good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Johnson C The new batch of gremlins was cool. The best Gremlins were the bat, the electric one and the clever Gremlin. Thin plot and weak story line but ultimately fun thanks to the variety of Gremlins. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review James P a funny and awesome flim Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Jay H My favorite sequel of all time. It's brilliant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Matthew R Tedious, uninspired, breathless pseudo-satire that when you boil it all down just completely repeats the same sequence of events as the first time. Awful. I can't believe it had generally positive reviews from critics. The female Gremlin/ending was bizarre and made no sense, and having Donald Trump as a thinly veiled character wasn't a plus. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
