A classic but not original...

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2011)

'Gremlins' is a monster film which we can always remember and love. But is it really good? Well, here's the thing. This movie has a great idea of finally using gremlins as the monster. They also use them so well that the gremlins are the most likable character (except the leader who's a total pain in the neck). It's also a film which kids and adults can watch with no problem because it's a children's Christmas film and at the same time it's also monster horror movie. Like 'Home Alone', this movie becomes one of those films that becomes a must see on'Christmas' too. It's one hell of a film.
The problem of the movie is that it has no originality. It's all about people not believing that there was a monster and they get the monster destroying the whole town. Wait! Where have I seen that idea before? Hmmm... Oh wait a minute! 'Frankenstien'! And there are a whole lot more movies like these too. And it doesn't really help the movie to survive in the movie world. Still, it's really entertaining and it has all the cool clichés. So it's definitely a must see for movie buffs or Christmas lovers!!!!
