how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

Read from 9 comments (6 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 3 of them described how it moves.

Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 3 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Hover the curveDrag across the curve to see what people said at any point.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

what people actually wrote

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Water Again. "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" is a vibrant sequel to the classic film that simultaneously pokes fun at the genre while maintaining its spirit. This film focuses more on satire, silly situations, and parodies of horror films and blockbusters, making it more humorous and less scary than the original. The editing, visuals, and special effects are distinguished by their crazy style, creating a fun and absurd atmosphere. The characters remain largely recognizable”

“I don't think anyone would call Gremlins a masterpiece. It worked, often surprisingly well, as a chaotic blend of unrelated genres and unrestrained mayhem, and that was enough. Its sequel, arriving a full six years after the original, is both a spiritual successor and a tonal departure, if that makes any sense. It retains the wicked laughs and playful, no-holds-barred character that made the first one so much fun, but completely disregards any shred of nuance. Granted, there's nothing all that s”

“Cleaner image than the first movie. The creature effects go to the next level too. Great use of all the speakers except the bass speaker which was a little soft. This takes everything to the next level. There is more comedy, more crazy gremlins and that's your lot. Much less serious than the first and I prefer it that way.”

“this ending neatly bookends what is essentially an extraordinarily nonexistant story in between”

“The original already had a little bit of that sly humour, and a hint of that sarcastic tone, but is still at its heart an actual horror movie. _The New Batch_ though changes it up and has that light-hearted, hokey, meta-humour in spades. It's a comedy. But it doesn't suffer for it, _Gremlins 2_ is an absolute joy. _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._”
