Review of Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) by Kj P — 29 Mar 2013

Aside from breaking the fourth wall multiple times, there is not really anything particularly bad about the second instalment of "Gremlins," but it just feels like the same thing, done in a bigger way.

It's undeniably a very fun film to watch, but the plot is lazy and the characters are unintentionally hilarious. This time, our main characters from the original have now grown up and made a life for themselves, but as Gizmo comes back into their lives, all hell breaks loose.

This feels like a children's version of "Die Hard!" I had a blast laughing at all the slapstick and the action (along with the visuals) is actually very well-produced. I can't give much credit to this film, because it seems like a rehash, but it was a very enjoyable one!
