Any movie with former Dracula Christopher Lee as a scientist who creates a gremlin-bat can't be all bad, but there's a reason we never received a Gremlins 3.

Too many gremlins and not enough story line.

This uninhibited and uproarious monster bash, directed by Joe Dante, is more quick-witted and ironic than the original; it sets forth a savvy, slaphappy agenda before the opening credits and follows it straight through to the end, and even beyond.

Campy horror sequel has unrelenting cartoonish violence.

There's almost enough in-joke ingenuity to justify the total absence of plot.

An odd, but rewarding sequel that ups the ante on comedy and effects, and manages to offer a refreshing spoof of the first film.

For a good hour it's less like a wild-spirited comedy than a '60s Disney film with Dean Jones or Fred MacMurray.

... is one of the funniest comedies of its time, a veritable live-action cartoon from Joe Dante at his most unrestrained.

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.

No, this was not your daddy's Gremlins movie. This was an entirely different kind of beast that was just made up of the same DNA.

"Gremlins" deserved a much better follow up than "The New Batch."

An hilarious sequel featuring equal parts creature slapstick for the small fry and satirical barbs for adults.
