Not only is it better than the first... it is the best film of the summer. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 11, 2022

The story is essentially a duplication of the original film.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 14, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 18, 2020

An acidic look at U.S. culture. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 23, 2020

'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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 23, 2020

A magnificent and unapologetically fun film. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 23, 2020

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

It's... a lot of fun considering the fact it is also based on the antics of a bunch of mean little puppets.

| Jun 23, 2020

The antics of the Gremlins in this sequel are truly amazing, from their sudden appearances and jump-out tactics, to nasty, premeditated shenanigans and hand-to-hand confrontations with humans.

Gremlins 2 might have been a better movie if it followed the old Hollywood notion of ingenuity over abundance in special effects. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Jun 23, 2020

You can't help being impressed, even as you feel like ducking under your seat for a moment's relief from the relentlessness of it all.

Gremlins 2 The New Batch has so much comic energy that we overlook its lack of anything worth calling a plot.

| Jun 23, 2020

A busy but boring sequel that spends most of its energy piling topical parody on top of product plug on top of gooey horror special effect.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 23, 2020

Gremlins 2 works better than its 1984 predecessor for one simple reason: Gremlins was only partially goofy, while Gremlins 2 is totally goofy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 23, 2020

Gremlins 2: The New Batch is a rarity: a sequel (again directed by Joe Dante) better than the original.

| Jun 23, 2020

Let's get right to it, which is what director Joe Dante does: This movie has no surprises, just a bigger dose of the bizarre, sadistic, ugly little creatures that surfaced in the original.

| Jun 23, 2020

Beneath the gags is a pedestrian script. And the gremlins, like a troupe of nightmare Muppets, are too overproduced to be either funny or horrifying.

| Jun 22, 2020

View it as a live-action cartoon and strap yourself in for a rollercoaster ride.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 22, 2020

It's an infernally funny mass entertainment: the Dream Machine snapping at its own tail.

| Jun 22, 2020

This batch of monsters is new, improved and one is even able to explain what they want.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 22, 2020
