Puppet Master II (1990 Video)
4/10
Ok follow-up nice way to start a franchise
16 June 2002
Full Moon did an alright job for this one. The puppets resurrect Toulon in hopes of having someone to push them around again. Why don't they just become freelance puppets? Surely there must be easier ways to get a job for somebody.

THIS IS A REALLY SIMPLE MOVIE. HERE'S A QUICK SUMMARY

Some scientists show-up to do some...scientific stuff in the infamous hotel. Then a guy dressed like Claude Reigns (Toulon) shows up. Apparently thinks our heroine is his lost lover reincarnated. so he makes the puppets hack out brains so he can become immortal with her in these cool big puppets he built for her.

If I don't sound to excited by this movie. I'm not. I didn't like this entry for the following. The characters are too whiny and stupid to really care for them (a problem plaguing films for years now). The script is worse than the first, I didn't know that was possible, this one actually has fewer twists. Toulon is now evil and that is just plain stupid. Toulon was always the face of kindness and friendship to the puppets.

Now enough griping. I do have to say the film is actually shot pretty well. A few good camera tricks raise it over the first. The acting is a lot better than the cardboard cutouts from the previous film. Special effects seem a little better this time around.

All in all this film is only fair. It's tollerable but far from the best. For fans of the series (and we are the only ones who watch these movies anyway) only.
