Ultimately, it's not very good...I'd say decent at best. And it's a shame it's being compared to Ghostbusters II in that other thread, because a) they aren't on the same level at all, and b) they are basically different genres.

But I did like how it went way over the top on purpose and didn't take itself seriously. It's basically a spoof film. And the K&P sketch about it is great.

Now, its pretty cringe

I loved it as a kid, but haven't seen it in about 15 years...

I haven't seen it in a very long time, but I recall liking it when I was a kid because they showed more Gremlins with different personalities.

Even though I haven't seen it in a really long time, I can at least say it's a lot better than a lot of part 2 movies that comes out.

I love how Phoebe Cates was dressed like a pilot from Startship Troopers:

It’s great. The Gremlin singing “New York, New York” and the Phantom of the Opera Gremlin and all the other wonderful, unique Gremlins make it Joe Dante’s masterpiece

It's pretty incredible. They knew it was a spoof movie and ran with it. That would never happen nowadays. They would just make a similar movie like the first one.

Any movie that includes Phoebe Cates' fine arse is OK with me.

She never looked sexier than in the original Gremlins:
