This movie looks so stupid. I'm 100% going to see it.

    I, too, wish to see Wet Gremlins.

    I caught the original while I was in bed recovering from open heart surgery gooned up on a variety of painkillers. It was a delightful experience.

    While I'm sorry to hear about your surgery and wish you a speedy recovery...

    gooned up on a variety of painkillers. It was a delightful experience

    ...I can't imagine a more delightful way to see this film! Cheers!

    Finally watched the first one the other week, was pleasantly surprised. Deff going to watch this one. Hopefully it's more ridiculous.

    The first one kind of underwhelmed with its lack of craziness/ambition, this one looks absurd. I'm hoping it's half as fun as it looks.

    I saw the first in the theater and my expectations were way too high and I left disappointed. I just rewatched it at home the other day and felt a lot better about it this time around. I think now that I know what I'm getting into, I'll have a better time with the second one.

    This movie kept me entertained throughout, though I was letdown that the megs weren't the only creatures wreaking havoc. Also, I can't find the cover of That's Not My Name featured in the credits anywhere.

    PG-13 eh? There's gonna be very little blood spilled in this shark attack. With it being so big it ought to be eating it's human size prey whole anyway!

    Still, I've been curious ever since Ben Wheatley was attached as director, not that I expect to detect much of his style in it.
