Reviews for Gremlins 2 - The New Batch
Top CriticMore enjoyable than the first film, offering audacious dark humour and a lot of knowing 'in-jokes'.
04/17/01
Top CriticThere's almost enough in-joke ingenuity to justify the total absence of plot.
02/09/06
Top CriticIt must be said that there are many big laughs, but it's also important to note that this is less a cohesive movie than a fragmented series of bizarre sketches with even more bizarre characters.
01/01/00
Top CriticSurprisingly thought-provoking as extended commentary on modern life and morality.

Top CriticNo review available.

07/16/04
A devilishly, hysterically, cacklingly, subversively funny picture that builds and builds until it literally self-destructs.
01/01/00
Underrated sequel that gets better with age.
07/06/03
Speaks to the gleeful hell-raising monster in each of us, and it speaks with much more verve, cleverness and good humor than the film on which it is based. Add this to the very short list of sequels that neatly surpass their predecessors.
08/30/04
Top CriticActually better than the original in many ways: it's darker and more cynical, contains more pop culture references and takes on a bigger target.
08/14/06
Perhaps the most uninhibited comedy since Helzappopin.
10/11/02
Surprisingly agreeable sequel.

No review available.
03/08/05
A loving celebration, and biting critique, of our pop culture-saturated times.
01/19/06
Clever sequel gets just a bit too snarky for its own good here and there ... but overall this is a seriously fun flick.
