This a great prequel. The first two Puppet master movies were great movie. This is better. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. Puppet master 4 and Puppet master 5 are better. This a great movie. It is very scary. It is better then The Shinning. And that is not easy to do. This is better then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. It got a 6.1 and that is good ratting. But this is such a great film that 6.1 is underrating it. I give it 10 out of 10. It is very scary. This is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. If you like a good horror story then you should see this movie It is awesome. This is one of the best horror movies from 1991. See it. It is a great movie.

Working on a project for the Nazis, a scientist's work with reviving the dead is complicated by a local puppet master's work on a group of dolls for a theater show being sent after them in revenge for the murder of his wife as they carry out his deadly plans.This here was a rather fun and exciting effort with a lot to really like about it. What makes it so fun is the film's rather enjoyable and worthwhile backstory here by being the starting point for the franchise and filling in so many holes in the main running thread. Though it keeps the puppets off-screen for the most part, the fact that the first half sets up the impetus of his revenge makes for a really exciting time here with this one bringing about a notable and certainly justified revenge motif about their mistreatment of him which really sets this one in motion from that point onward. As that allows the film to descend into a series of encounters with the puppets wiping out the Nazis almost exclusively, that not only means the film is so fast- paced that it avoids the pacing issues of the previous film but also manages the same facet of the rest of the franchise in being able to give the different puppets the same elements as before where they get plenty of fine time to shine. There's a strong slew of encounters here that gives this one a rather frenetic pace that makes for each puppet getting plenty of chances to showcase their powers which is where this one scores more than the other efforts in this regard as the excess time not only gives them the chance for those attacks while also managing to give them a more tender and affectionate side with them now being the good guys throughout here instead of only at the end when their feelings are insulted after being the villains beforehand. It's a nice breath of fresh air in the series and gives it some additional life, along with the fun new addition to the franchise in a cool puppet brought into play. It does suffer slightly from a drawn-out plot line about the Nazi mastermind who's simply a prick for no reason other than he needs to be the villain of the of the piece yet comes off more as a disgraceful, condescending jerk more than anything else. This carries over into the events of the finale as there's a few too many plot-points by that time to really get the full effect of what's going on. This clichéd nature doesn't really give this a whole lot of originality at that point, which is about the only real problems this one has to lower it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity, Language, mild sexual activities and children-in-jeopardy.

PuppetMaster 3′s glaring narrative, production faults aside (for which there are countless pages on the net) and budget restrictions, this prequel gives an intriguing insight how those little killer puppets came to be. Set in Berlin 1941, evil Nazi's want Toulon's secret formula which animates his puppets to re-animate the Führer's soldiers and make an unstoppable army for the Aryan race.The puppets get a run for their money in the acting department this time around. Gestapo officer, Major Krauss played excellently by Richard Lynch steals the show along with James Bond recurring actor Walter Gotell as General Mueller. Both Guy Rolfe as Andre Toulon (previously played by William Hickey) and Sarah Douglas (Superman 1 and 2) as Elsa Toulon bring some emotion to the film.Naturally there's Richard Band's music and thanks to director David DeCoteau and the effects team it's a blast to see the creation of both Blade and Leech Woman. In addition, Jester gets a fair amount of screen- time.In a film with reanimated dead soldiers and Nazi's versus psychotic puppets, you should already know what you're in for. Without selling the surprisingly good cast ensemble short it's a low budget affair but what a recommended guilty pleasure of entertainment it is. Where as the first film had the burning question of – What happened to Theresa? The burning question with three is – if Toulon shot himself in 1939 what is he doing alive and well in 1941?

The third part in the Puppet Master films is quite a surprise actually. It might even be better than the first in story telling! The acting is superb, the story is superb and the movie well...it's superb as well! This is actually a prequel to the original films, introducing the characters to us, including a new one named Six Shooter.This film, without spoiling anything is about killing Nazi's who have destroyed the Puppet Master. It is a very interesting look at events from World War II.A great installment in the series and well worth watching for the story alone!
