adonis98-743-186503 When missile technology is used to enhance toy action figures, the toys soon begin to take their battle programming too seriously. Small Soldiers is incredibly underrated and was unfortunately a bit ahead of it's time and sure it kinda reminds a bit of Toy Story but it also does things of it's own mixing Warriors against Commando's and the whole thing just works perfectly. Plus the casting is really good since well known actors such as Kirsten Dunst and the late Phil Hartman can be seen in here plus another good Dick Miller role as well. (10/10)

Dante's Peek This was the thing back then. When this first came out in Malaysia, it was an instant hit among the kids. I was a Teen and even I was into it. I'm actually quite surprised to see the rating at 6.1 on IMDB. Some of the ratings here are not justified. This is easily an 8. The comedy and the dialogues in this movie are very intelligent. Both from the actors and voice overs . I think they've put in the hard work and it was very well thought out. Didn't knew who kirsten dunst was back then but I thought she was quite cute. Just knew her from Jumanji and thats it. Trust me, the ratings are not what it seems to be. This flick is better than 90% of the crap that came out throughout the year 2017 -2018. It has the good old 90's family values, decent action, a good story line and a pretty interesting ending. Don't miss out on this if you haven't watched it. You won't regret it.Wish there was a part 2 since the ending was left interesting. But the current hollywood would mess it up dear God. 10/10 from myself

LeonLouisRicci Extremely Entertaining amalgamation of Toy Story (1995), Gremlins (1984), and the popular Kid Toys G.I. Joe, and Barbie.Director Joe Dante Loves In-Jokes and this one has plenty. The Anti-War stance (making the Commandos Psychopaths) is a welcome Non-PC take, The "Hero" Gorgomites are the Awkward, Pacifistic Conscientious Objector Types (who hide) and are "Born to Lose".All of these Political and Social Statements are really not that important because the Film is basically an Action Romp, sort of a Toy Story on Steroids. It never fails to be Fun and is a lively, quite visceral Satire on War and Horror Films. The Music Selections are appropriate and the Score manages to arouse.An Underrated "Small Gem" that may have caught Audiences and Critics off guard with its PG-13 Violence and Gruesome Visuals. The Barbie Doll-Bride of Frankenstein Chapter is the most disturbing. Very young and ultra-sensitive Children may be scared.Overall, the Voice Cast is excellent and the CGI and animatronics are superior. The Movie has a Heart that softens the Story just enough to make it rise above the standard Action and Horror. It's an overlooked Film that most likely will remain in the periphery of Cult Films but including it in that Off-Beat Genre would not be a mistake.

Neil Welch A couple of toy developers have the bright idea of putting military computer chips in a new line of toys. Unfortunately, the toy soldiers in question thus become motivated to annihilate a rival range of toys and, if humans get in the way, that's just too bad.Director Joe Dante recycles the plot of his Gremlins movies, only with action figures instead of Mogwais and Gremlins, and the results are much the same - a thoroughly entertaining movie filled with masses of entry-level mayhem. The toys are well designed and brilliantly voiced by a voice cast which is far more star-studded than the solid and reliable, but low-key, human cast.It is perhaps a little violent and intense for the youngest of viewers, but otherwise it is a solidly entertaining family movie.
