I won't go so far as to say this is better than Terminator 2, but Gremlins 2 is such a great sequel. Some people are turned off by the zaniness, but I love how it's basically a parody of unnecessary sequels and that they just swung for the fences with it.
Seems like a classic case of a film relating to a certain topic pissing off people who are really into that topic. The Brutalist with architecture, Black Swan with ballet, all kinds of fighting movies, all kinds of movies with "science-y" topics, etc. At the end of the day, the film isn't a documentary and doesn't need to portray things perfectly, they just need to portray them in a way that allows the story to be told well.
