“I think this movie is good for it's purpose. It's not...”

Written on: 30/10/2010 by Taylott (173 reviews written)

I think this movie is good for it's purpose. It's not meant to be some life-changing, or hysterically funny, or terrifying suspense movie. It's meant to give you some scares, some laughs, and entertainment. And it does indeed entertain.

While this is definitely not for fans of all ages, the exception being younger children, most of everyone else will enjoy this fast-paced, twisted romp into the netherworld of magical, mystical beasties!

"Gremlins" ranks as one of the classic horror films... (read more)

Gremlins is a movie about a boy called Billy who receives a strange creature as a pet from his father. The creature is a Mogwai, and is sold against the owner of the shops wishes, (Mr Wing) by his grandson, who sells the Mogwai to Billys father for $200.
The grandson then warns Billys father the three golden rules you must always abide by in keeping the Mogwai. Rule one: No direct sunlight on the Mogwai. Rule two: No water to touch the Mogwai, and the most important rule of all, Rule three:... (read more)

I appreciate that twenty years have elapsed since Mr Peltzer purchased the aforementioned Gremlin, but $200.00 for such a rare and exotic creature seems a ludicrously low price to me. I fully understand that Mr Wing and his grandson were experiencing severe financial difficulties at the time of purchase, and they were probably in fear of losing their shop and livelihood. They did however turn down Mr Peltzer's initial derisory offer, but I believe they could have squeezed at least another 100 - 150 bucks out of him, as he seemed very interested in the creature. I blame the grandson. Mr Wing had a beauty "poker face" on him. When I first watched Gremlins I never believed he would part with the little critter, as he was adamant that the "Mogwai" was not for sale. His grandson was a bit hasty in finalising the deal, and I bet he got absolutely knacked. Despite their financial difficulties, I think I am right in saying that Mr Wing did offer a full refund when he reclaimed ownership of Giz. Having watched the film on a number of occasions, I can't help but think the Peltzer's were a little foolish in not visiting the vets with regards to a quick check-up regarding Gizmo's health. He was living in very restrictive and cramped conditions in a dirty basement of a souvenir shop. After all, Billy did choose to bring the creature into his bed, and he already had a large mammal as a pet, so Gizmo should have been checked for flea's at the very least.

I saw this film the other day, just before Christmas - my only comment is that regardless of how old this film is, all the gremlins looked fake and Gizmo had lost his cuteness by looking like a &#039;Firby&#039;. CGI as used in Terminator 2 or the Lawnmower Man could improve this film a lot.

What did you guys make of Gremlins2(the New Batch), I went to the pictures with a lad called Ivan(aka Hitler, Ravi, Flozza) and Chrissy Hughes(aka Piano Teeth) and none of us really enjoyed this movie if the truth be told.
