Small Soldiers
Teenager Alan decided to buy a collection of games that look like elite commandos. After buying these exotic games, it seems that Alan is not aware that the games were programmed with military technology that turns them into reality. These games are back to life again including the Chip leader in life, and start to take their directions seriously. These games turn into real stories from the 'killing' of their enemies in the game of Gorgonites to other exciting games.

An infomercial with the schmaltz that passes for emotion in family-aimed films.June 12, 2003
Typical of Dante's films, Small Soldiers is an unbroken string of pop culture in-jokes.December 08, 2002
It looks like the movie was edited down from a much meaner version, to our loss.October 07, 2013
Works as an adventure film and another fine Joe Dante creature feature...January 01, 2000
As with many films in which special effects are the real stars, the technology here commands more respect and interest than the material otherwise warrants.October 08, 2014
Small Soldiers deserves to be re-evaluated, which fortunately also means that it can finally be enjoyed, too.January 01, 2000
...wildly entertaining...February 14, 2001
Though it starts promisingly, the picture ends as a standoff between the affection Dante and company bring to the project and its increasingly frenetic and tiresome emphasis on what special effects can make its little people do.April 07, 2007
Smart satirical action-comedy about talking action toys.January 01, 2000
What bothered me most about Small Soldiers is that it didn't tell me where to stand--what attitude to adopt.January 01, 2000
This live-action, animated feature has all the charm of the entirely animated Toy Story plus an audacity all of its own.April 12, 2002
...this smells like a script slapped together around a toy-product launch.
