DVD Talk (Adam Tyner)
Gremlins 2: The New Batch is an extremely fun sequel, and in quite a few ways, I enjoy it more than the original. It would make a perfect companion purchase for those who plan on picking up Gremlins, especially considering the number of supplements, the ...read the complete Gremlins 2: The New Batch movie review at DVD Talk (Adam Tyner)

A huge improvment over the original, GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH is surprisingly sympathetic towards the title menace, and surprisingly thought-provoking as extended commentary on modern life and morality. That the beasties should wind up the tragically ...read the complete Gremlins 2: The New Batch movie review at TV Guide Entertainment Network, Movie Guide

You can really tell that the people making this film had a lot of fun doing it. The plot is thinner than a compressed wafer, but who cares? It's fun and cheap laughs all the way, and that ain't no crime. ...read the complete Gremlins 2: The New Batch movie review at Empire Magazine [UK]
Filmtracks (Christian Clemmensen)
When Goldsmith scored Gremlins, he was nearing the
height of his experimentation with synthetic elements in an orchestral

Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
If the first Gremlins was striving for populist thrills, its sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, is one for the film and pop culture buffs. Chock full of in-jokes and homage, this sequel would be little more than a glorified mess if not for the fact that t ...read the complete Gremlins 2: The New Batch movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

The first "Gremlins," in 1984, was a meditation on movie myths - on Christmas, small towns, and things that will jump up and scare you.It was a superior B movie and a lot of fun. ...read the complete Gremlins 2: The New Batch movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

To say this is better than the first is to say that Freddy Got Fingered is better than Citizen Kane. But in all respect, it's not that bad. I even own it. That is, along with the original. ...read the complete Gremlins 2: The New Batch movie review at Movie Addict (John Ulmer)

In case you care, the plot this time around has the mischievous little buggers wreaking havoc on Clamp Centre, an automated, ultramodern, highrise office building in Manhattan. Come to think of it, the movie could have killed two birds with one stone if ...read the complete Gremlins 2: The New Batch movie review at Randy Parker

Gremlins (1984) was a runaway success that became the highest box-office grossing film of its year in many countries.
