    Gremlins 2 was the best one!

    Steven Spielberg Joe Dante and Chris Columbus didn’t want to make a sequel, but pressure from the studio to profit off the popularity of the first one forced them into making a sequel. So they decided to have fun with it. And it got wild! And super silly.

    They even parodied the first film several times. Like the movie critic who tore apart the first film as an awful piece of garbage… until some gremlins attacked him and he changed his review. Or when Kate started rambling about another holiday ruined by finding a dead relative.

    It was pure comedy, and so much more fun than the first one, which kept the tone pretty serious. The first film is kind of boring after watching the sequel. It’s one of the rare examples of the sequel being better than the original.

    I really hope Gremlins 3 lives up to the antics of Gremlins 2. They’re mischief makers; the silly violence and mayhem suits them better than a straight horror genre.

      You’re getting a lil confused, Joe Dante was the director for Gremlins and Gremlins 2. Spielberg wasn’t involved in Gremlins at all before this. There’s no way this film is going to be good without Dante’s involvement, and I think there’s no chance he will actually come back.

        Ahh, I knew it was one of the creators. I thought Spielberg was involved with it. My bad.
