.......Probably not, but it is certainly up there with the best, most of the originals return in this sequel. Smalltown folk, Billy (Zach Galligan) and Kate(Phoebe Cates) move to Big Apple, the only thing is, the furry critter that started all the trouble in the first movie, Gizmo, also turns up. And sooner than you can say ''gooey, sticky pods'' there are more little fuzzballs running about; and you know what happens when the rules(Don't feed them after mignight, etc)aren't followed: Scary, Green, GREMLINS! This time they set about an office block in NY, and in the genetics dept., things go from bad to worse, with the Gremlins(now multiplied tenfold)DRINKING GENES, and taking on those genes' persona:eg. Brain Gremlin, Spider Gremlin. The way that the Brain Gremlin is executed is surprisingly effective. Great acting, and some brilliant comedic moments, ''Gremlins 2-The New Batch'' is a refreshing sequel, that is well worth a look.

This is nothing like the first film, but how could it be. Forget the plot it doesn't matter, this film is all about action comedy.
Lots of great characters, a host of colourful Gremlins and plenty of surprises.
On the small screen the film does lose some of its dramatic tension and you don't get the added buzz of collective laughter you get in a matinee. For those reasons I have deducted a star.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the first film. What I don't understand is why this is being sold seperately, when you can easily pick up a Gremlins 1/2 box set for £5 or less.

If you want to make a good sequel, make a different film, in a different genre. »Gremlins was mainly a thriller - »Gremlins 2« is more of a comedy, really. And this is exactly what makes »Gremlins 2« much more than just a sequel!
The characters are the same, you know the three rules, but the scenery is different. This time, these disgusting (but entertaining) little monsters take over a high-tech building in New York. And they do so from a gene research laboratory in the sky scraper's top floor.
THIS is the genius of »Gremlins 2«, the best way to avoid making a sequel already doomed not to be as successful as the first film: The fact that the monsters fool around in this lab creates new possibilities to exploit! Now, the monsters come in all shapes... which does not only make »Gremlins 2« VERY funny (rather than scary) but also seals their own fate, eventually.
Worthwhile!

Probably the finest sequel ever made
Gremlins 2: The New Batch is one of those rare sequels that's a lot more fun than the original. A virtual live action Looney Tune with more movie references than you can count and... Read more
