Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

TheBlueHairedLawyer While this film certainly had a lot of hard work poured into it and a talented cast to work with, it was visually all over the place to the point where it made me wish I was colour blind. The bizarre soundtrack did nothing to add to its appeal, and Williams often came off as obnoxious throughout. I did like the intro credits with the New York Christmas set pieces, but the rest of it looked like some sort of chaotic avant-garde mess that was trying way too hard and not focusing enough on its actual story. It's all well and good to be flashy, but it gets old really fast if there's nothing good to back it up with. It's more pretentious than anything else, much like its positive reviews that insist that people who hate t "just don't get it" or are "too shallow to appreciate the genius". To that I say, get down off your high horse. Most of the characters were just irritating, the themes clashed to the point where it seemed like the creators were just reaching out of nowhere for any old crud they could make money off of, and it's campy but not even in a remotely humorous way, nor is it "so bad, it's good." It's just weird, and there's a difference between a cool or creative weird and just plain annoying and pointless weird.

yvette-edery The whole thing seems pretty genius. I like this almost as much as I like the wheels on the bus. I like this like I like grilled cheese. The costumer, from France won 2 Oscars, it was nominated for over 10. Methodology = awesome. Story = really original. Cast = holla. Joan Cusack is pretty. It touched me.

FilmBuff1994 Toys is a decent movie with a promising storyline that honestly dosen't deliver as well as it could have and an overall talented cast.The movie looks absolutely beautiful,it is directed in a very unique way and it is a visual delight to watch,however,the story wasn't intriguing enough,I was very bored by it at times and it was certainly a lot longer than it needed to be.Robin Williams is without a doubt the highlight of this movie,particularly the scenes where he gets to improvise his lines,you know when he does almost immediately and they are always hilarious,he was also great at the dramatic scenes as he always is,and there was great chemistry between him and Robin Wright.My least favourite part of this movie had to be Alsatia,played by Joan Cusack,there wasn't a single scene she was in where I was irritated,the dialogue,the way Cusack delivers her portrayal and the characters weird personality is the movies biggest flaw and I easily could have given this a seven if she wasn't in it.Toys has its moments,but it's overall a very mediocre family movie that you would be better off avoiding unless you want to watch it for Williams sake. After his fathers passing,Leslie Zevo (Robin Williams) gets to take over his massive toy company,however,his uncle soon takes over with a big plan to change the face of the franchise forever. Best Performance: Robin Williams / Worst Performance: Joan Cusack

Edmund Cox I so wanted to like this film. Following the death of a Robin Williams I was rewatching his films and decided to watch some that I'd previously missed hence my son and I settled down to watch Toys. The film is terrible - it's Willie Wonka on drugs. The story is terrible, the acting is terrible. They use an English actor (Michael Gambon) to play the part of a US general and then create a reason as to why he is incapable of speaking with an American accent - just get an American actor instead. Jamie Foxx is in the film but I bet it's not on his CV! LL Cool J also appears - the pinnacle of his career no doubt. Robin Williams was a fantastic actor but during his life he made some bad choices when it came to the movies he appeared in - this must surely be one of them.
