Fuck yeah. I just watched the Gremlin movies for the first time a couple months ago and was surprised how good they were.

I still remember going to Gremlins as a child, and being terrified going to sleep that night. That was the scariest movie I had seen up to that point. LOL
Houseguest is my favorite Gremlins movie

I'm British, doesn't stop it being a Hodge Podge mess of random ideas and stupid characters.
It's the suicide squad of the 90s.

it's better than the first
They're both perfect films. Gremlins is a perfect horror film. Gremslins 2 is the best live action cartoon ever made.
What absolute bollocks.

People have been banned for less here than calling Gremlins 2 trash.
One of my favorites back in the day, I even enjoyed the NES game.

It's impossible to improve on perfection, which Gremlins 2 was.

Gremlins 2 is gonzo cartoon maximalism at its finest. Yeah, it's exhausting, but it's endlessly creative and playful, translating Chuck Jones cartoon world into live action (in case the opening Bugs short didn't make the intentions clear). I prefer the small town horror charm of the first film, but the sequel is a brilliantly self aware follow up whose self-reflixive ambition is hard to ignore.
I'm hoping that whatever Gremlins 3 ends up being, it won't just be "Gremlins 1 but worse". If any lesson can be taken from The New Batch it's that they shouldn't be afraid to get weird and experiment with the formula.

A new Critters would be nice, but I don't think it was better than Gremlins though.
I friggin' love that sketch.

2 is phenomenal in so many ways. It's gotten better as I get older.
Speaking of Critters....

I loved those films when I was younger (first 3 more specifically).

As a kid I loved Gremlins 2 because of how much fun it was and I'll be honest there was a ton of hype for it. I got excited every time I found out there was going to be a new gremlin.
As an adult I can appreciate it as a response to the first film, a parody of films that copied it, and a satire of classic horror wrapped up in a very self-aware package.

The original script for Gremlins was much much darker than what we got. It was more of a straight horror film with Gizmo turning into a Gremlin along with a scene of Billy's Mom's head rolling down the steps. Then Spielberg got involved and much was changed. I'm curious what Columbus has for this one. Hopefully, it's not just a boring retread and has its own identity. These are probably the most important films from my childhood and I don't want them tarnished. A sequel or reboot is inevitable though.
And yeah, Dante or bust.

I love Gremlins 2. I loved all the newer different crazy gremlin types. Rambo Gizmo was he cooler, too...I always tried making one of those paper clip bows, but it never really worked
Also I had the Gremlins 2 game for game boy, and I played the ever loving shit out of it. It was tough!This has been in development at Warners for years.
If Gremlins gets a shot in the arm from Ready Player One I can see them green lighting this pretty quickly.
Agreed. It's basically a live action Looney Tunes short and it is amazing.

I adore Gremlins 2. There's so much creativity in what they did with it that it's always so interesting.
Scott Bromley said it best: it's probably the closest thing we're ever going to get to a live action Looney Tunes movie
