from the opening sequence to the end credit and gremlin have a certain charm to it . perhaps it be the directing style of joe dante and or the screenplay by chris columbus . whichever and it be a fun and entertaining and imaginative film . gizmo ( voice by a young howie mandel ) be a true creature effect and a be the gremlin . this be one film that would have lose it charm if it be make today . the fact that we barely ever see gizmo foot when he run and or the gremlin low body be wonderful . it be part of the charm that this film carry . i wouldn not want to see gizmo look like yoda from the new star war film and cheap and unrealistic . it great to have little creature creation and with real and fake fur ( i know that sound dumb but think about it ) . the cast be not extra ordinary and which make it also feel so fun to watch and but nevertheless and the cast be still great and though the character of billy wasn not the best they could have choose and but like i say and that part of the fun of it all . gremlin have to be one of the most chaotic and entertaining and mesmerizing and adventurous and revolutionary and charming and fun fill film of the past twenty year . 4/4 star john .
