I realy like Small Soldiers. A lot. Sort of a more family friendly, big-budget, PG-13, late 90's Gremlins. A lot of the humor is WAY dated (Titanic jokes) and the Gorgonites get tiresome but it's a weird, fun movie.
I remember this being pretty cool when it came out. Bonus points for both Phil Hartman and David Cross.
So funny to see a young Kirsten Dunst. Scary thing is that toys this smart probably aren't that far off. If the AI isn't real you can bet guys playing video games using the toys in real life will end up causing havok in some city sometime soon.
liked this one, over 10 years old, unbelievable. soldier who are small who come to live! fighting a battle. what more do you need to know.

...this smells like a script slapped together around a toy-product launch.full review
What bothered me most about Small Soldiers is that it didn't tell me where to stand--what attitude to adopt.full review
