Gremlins - Kleine Monster

Gremlins is a legendary 80s movie. Everything about it just screams "The 80s" in a really fun way.

Joe Dante's "Gremlins" is an absolutely, amazingly fun time. The concept of the Gremlins themselves being so intriguing and fun, and face it, Gizmo is one of the cutest creatures in cinema history. While this movies first 20 minutes are a bit boring, once the story and absolute fun insanity begins you'll be having such a good time that the run time of the film will completely slip by. I have loved this film since a young age, and sure it may be nostalgia, but god do I really love this movie. I highly recommend watching this on a cold winter night, with hot chocolate, and a warm bowl of popcorn. I guarantee that you will have a fun time with this. It's not a thought provoking film, it won't change your life, but it is a fun ride , completely worth it's length

It's fun. In fact, it's a lot of fun. This was my first time ever seeing Gremlins and to be honest, I had no idea what to expect. I don't think that I could've ever been able to expect this. Who comes up with ideas like filling a movie theatre with Gremlins and making them watch Snow White. Or throwing one of them into a microwave and making its head explode. This movie is just full of the wacky and the wonderful, which I suppose suits the 80s very well.

Let me start off with the true hero of the movie, Gizmo. What a special little being. Like mentioned, I had no idea what to expect, and quite frankly, I always thought that this would be a humans vs. gremlins kind of ordeal. It was actually quite fun having one of the creatures fight alongside its human friends.

One of the best sequences in the movie is quite early on when the evil gremlins hatch. The scene where Billy's mom goes toe to toe with the first of the Gremlins. It was interesting because in a lot of ways it turned the horror genre completely on its head. The mom became, to a certain extent, the villain, and the Gremlins were the ones being hunted. Another great sequence was in the tavern where each Gremlin is living its best life. Smoking and drinking and dancing and singing.

Some might argue that this a Christmas film. And sure, it could be counted as one. However, I also thought that it worked very well during Halloween. It has monsters, it is surprisingly scary and tense at times, considering that it is a comedy for most of its runtime, and it captures the best parts of 80s horror. I had a blast with Gremlins and I'm sure I'll visit it regularly in the future around this time of year. It put me in a great mood and made me laugh out loud quite a few times. What more can you really ask from a movie?

Made in a time when they had to make use of practical effects instead of CGI, 'Gremlins' still holds very well by today's standards. It's hard to believe this film was made almost four decades ago!

The film is an interesting mix of comedy and horror. There are some really silly, illogical moments, but 'Gremlins' is not to be taken too seriously. You might sit shaking your head wondering why the creatures would do the silly things they do, but hey, it's all in the name of fun, right? Since these are also fictional creatures, who's to say what they are capable of and what their behavior should be?

Towards the end all hell breaks loose, and some scenes are disgusting (in a comedy-horror good way), and it's wonderful! The film has a good, fairly suspenseful, action-packed final act.

This movie used to scare me immensely when I was younger. It was the first "scary movie" I saw as a kid, and I think that may effect why I love it so much today. Nostalgic purposes, indeed.

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.

We've heard since the 50's about little green men, and in this movie, they are there. And they don't even have to come from outer space, just Chinatown. The actual mogwai (what the gremlins are before they transform) are adorable. So at first you are surprised at how this cute little furry creature who sings a little song could produce other mogwais whom are not so nice. I won't give away how they reproduce or turn into gremlins, but it's all kind of strange, and very fantasy-like.

A great movies for adults to watch with kids for their first "scary movie". I watched it when I was three, and while it did scare me there for a while, I still loved it a lot. I would recommend maybe six years or older, and if they get too scared, tell them it's really just puppets. (It is.) Overall, this film is entertaining, very 80's, a little scary, and pretty funny.
