While it serves up as much fun as his previous works (GREMLINS and INNERSPACE notably), cult director Joe Dante has created what I'd credit as his weakest effort at a film that strangely but slickly fuses rather dark tones (violence) with... Full review

Joe Dante brings some of his deliciously dark touches from " Gremlins " and " Gremlins 2 " to the live action/animated comedy adventure that is "Small Soldiers".
The marriage of humour and special effects is great and works beautifully on DVD.

Really, Small Soldiers is a fairly dull little movie until the real action starts during the final third of the picture.
Picture/Sound/Extras (A-/A/C+) M ake no mistake about it: Small Soldiers is by no stretch of the imagination a great movie, or even a very good one.

Small Soldiers is so boring when such a wonderful cast is squandered.....The film opens with an oh-so-Reagan-era comedic paean to corporate greed and stupidity --.... ... Full Review
| Jul 10, 1998James Berardinelli's Reviews
Although Small Soldiers lacks the simple brilliance and magic of Toy Story , it works for many of the same reasons, chief of which is the human fascination with toys and gadgets.
Dante loves in-jokes and parodies, and Small Soldiers is full of them.
