Nice little movie

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2003)

It was a good thing that I've been smart and knowing how PG-13 movies weren't made until 1985, as I consider this a PG-13 movie. (Dang, I couldn't believe it when I found out "Jaws" had a PG rating! I was really wondering how a movie like that didn't cause the MPAA raters to make a PG-13 rating) Anyway, I rented this movie out right after I turned 13(so it's probably the first PG-13 movie I saw alone) and it was as good as I had thought!
Anyway, I don't see how people should complain it's too scary. I mean, if YOU want to see a movie you thought was for little kids, but was scary, rent "The Secret Of NIMH". Gizmo is a very cute little fellow, and I always kind of went for furry little creatures. The gremlins were very cool, and it was interesting how clever they were to wreck all that havoc (i.e. cutting off the power of a traffic light). Yes, the effects could have better, but this is just one of those movies you just wanna have fun with, and not really take seriously. The part where the gremlins were at the bar was very funny! I'll always remember the gremlins attacking the Santa Claus guy, or the gremlins watching Snow White. It was a kind of sci-fi/horror/comedy crossover.
Don't listen to the Leonard Maltin review. He gave the sequel a good rating, and that sequel was just as volient as the first one(I'll bet he did that just because he himself had a cameo in the movie). Anyway, a 8.5/10.
