This thing really shows its age and is a prime example of the really bad things the 1980s gave us. The plot is nonsensical and the effects are reminiscent of 1950s sci-fi. An amazing waste of cinematic resources.

Truly this was a really good movie i loved the mild terror of the look of the gremlins and the cuteness of the mogwai so it was over all a really good movie i would recommend this for a 8 year old. the beginning is a little boring but the middle and the end get the hype up so it is really amazing

Since I was past puberty the first time I saw this & am a LOT older now, maybe I just needed to be 10 yrs old to like this. I LOVE comedy. WACKY comedy. Verbal comedy. Physical comedy. This? Violence-as-Comedy??? I don't get it. It is just stupid & annoying. 4* for the Positives = up until the gremlins take over, it is quite cutesy nostalgic & the gremlins & mogwai are well done. But, the Violence-as-Comedy story??? Keep it. Seriously, it is NOT "horror". It is NOT "comedy". It is just Violence-as-Comedy. I didn't even finish watching it this 2nd time.

If it can be old and you don't judge it on age...you will like this movie.If you don't care that the movie doesn't take itself seriously...you will like this movie.And if your body has aged but your soul has not...you will like this movie.Like "The Goonies," The other Columbus/Spielberg collaboration there is a very clear lines are drawn in the sand."/" Marks the divide between the folks that loved it as kids and still love it because it is a fun movie that doesn't take itself seriously..."/"...and the folks who, as adults, don't seem to care for anything that isn't serious. You know, the folks who will ONLY watch a comedy if it is done by Wes Anderson or is muted and dramatic.And that is fine, it's just a shame they lost all sense of childhood fun and adventure. You know, the folks that can't get excited about building pillow forts with their kids anymore."/" Also marks the divide between '80s kids and adults that assume anything more serious than "paw patrol" will mortify a child under 16.And they are forgetting that, when they were kids, their folks took them to see "Robocop" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "The Goonies" and "Gremlins" on the big screen and they were NOT traumatized for life by them.You know, idiots that forget that children are humans too. Not as developed, but certainly not butterflies.And the last "/" line in the sand divides the folks that care about how long ago the '80s were and want everything made 5 seconds ago...and the folks that can still watch "A Christmas Story" and not feel that it needs to be updated, remade, and rebooted to reflect the style and technology of 2017.
