I consider myself a huge Puppet Master fan and completest. I own the OOP DVD box set most all of the action figures and even have the original movie poster to Puppet Master III. I'm a Puppet Master nut. I even find the good in the worst sequels. But I'm not sure even I would want this in my Puppet Master collection.
Some would scoff, but this is a slap in the face of the Puppet Master series. I was never a big big fan of the Demonic Toys movies, but I always saw the potential for a good movie being made about a battle between the puppets and toys.
If you went to the official Full Moon website years ago, you would have seen a terrific glorious image of the puppets and toys going head to head. That image was better than the whole of this 'movie'. It just doesn't even feel like one of the Puppet Master movies... As I said before, I never really loved Demonic Toys, but it was a masterpiece compared to this.
It's all just too silly. All the attempted humor misses. And the biggest let down is that there is hardly any kind of fight between the puppets and the toys! I don't think it lasted much more than a minute or so and that was at the very end of the film! Obviously whoever directed this didn't see a Puppet Master movie in his life and didn't care to.
I think I can say the Puppet Master series is unfortunately officially dead.
At least I have my old precious Full Moon DVD's to cherish. Cherish what it all USED to be.
