Granted, my 10-year-old self would have loved them, too (had they come out in 1974), and I suppose that fondness would have lingered to this day, but seeing both for the first time last year, I found them nearly unwatchable.

And Gremlins 2! I watched that movie over and over again when it came out on VHS (remember "rewinding"?). I loved all the genetically altered variations....and retroactively appreciated that it has The Doctor (Robert Picardo) from Star Trek: Voyager...only with more hair!

Gremlins was a pastiche of all the old monster movies. Hits all the great cliches and makes them good again. Spielberg did the same thing in the same era with Poltergeist. Back when he could still make movies. They're good movies, yeah, but I wouldn't call them original.

But it would have to be done right, and there's no reason to believe it will be in this case.

(best part of that movie is the moment when the gal tells the story of the childhood trauma that makes her hate president's day, mocking the first Gremlin's movie re: her dead dad and christmas.)

Gremlins 2 (1990) - a good sequel or a great sequel?
