Tremors 2 is generally loved by everyone, many people including myself consider it better than the original. I personally put it up there with some of the best sequels in all of horror like Child's Play 2 and Psycho 2, both of which I also think are better than their originals. Even original screeners back in the day loved it. Release was actually delayed because reviews were so good the studio started to second guess their direct-to-video plan.
Everything about Tremors 2 just feels right. Earl being the main guy and Grady the taxi driver as his sidekick was actually a lot more fun than Earl being the sidekick to Val (Kevin Bacon). Earl and Grady are polar opposite personalities, which every buddy cop show proves works.

I'm writing this after watching the entire series, through part 6, and can say that this is my favorite of the franchise.
Tremors introduced us to Graboids, the giant subterranean worms that hunted by sound. Tremors 2 gave us Shriekers, smaller creatures Graboids birthed (through asexual reproduction). Shriekers hunt by tracking heat signals which is a brilliant plot detail since it means they're drawn to anything that omits heat, things like cars and communication towers, rendering our heroes helpless.
Tremors 2 is awesome in every way. It's a fun creature feature with a strangely satisfying desert atmosphere and a group of characters who work together to creatively outsmart new creatures.
