Just finished the movie, The film is pretty sweet, I really enjoyed it big deal! The story was very good over all, A great build up for the origins of Robert, we get to know why and how he became this way and the acting & effects were decent. The best part for me was the ending which is my opinion is both too cute and kind of unexpected. My first Robert movie was Robert Reborn but I believe this one is even better, I'm sure to check out the rest of the franchise. Jessy Reviews.

Right, well truth be told then I had absolutely no expectations to this movie, so I entered with a blank canvas, free to be impressed and entertained. Except that was something that "The Toymaker" movie failed to do on every account. I endured 31 minutes of this ordeal before I simply gave up from sheer and utter boredom. First of all, it is a movie set in Nazi Germany, yet everybody speaks English with that atrocious horrible assimilated German accent. Then came the big old Nazi bad guy speaking English with something that sounded like a bad French accent. It was just so bad and so abysmal to listen to. Either speak proper German, or at least have all actors capable of sustaining an accent that actually sounds like that mock generic German accent we all know. The thing that made me quit on "The Toymaker", aside from the accent issue, and the apparent lack of a proper storyline, was when I saw the old man. Wow, talk about using fake props. It was just laughable to look at. So clearly a horrible and poor discount clown wig trimmed down he was wearing, and that beard dangling from his chin, are you kidding me? It looks so fake that even a blind man would do "for real?" This was a snoozefest of unfathomable magnitude, and I have absolutely no intention to return to watch the rest of the movie because "The Toymaker" had absolutely nothing of any interest to me.

Saw 'The Toymaker', being fond of horror/thriller regardless of budget (even if not my favourite genre) and being intrigued somewhat by the idea. Being behind on my film watching and reviewing, with a long to watch and review list that keeps getting longer, it took me a while to get round to watching and reviewing it. Giving 'The Toymaker' a fair chance with being interest and apprehension, it turned out to be far better than expected. Won't say that 'The Toymaker' is a great film because it isn't (pretty weak actually) and the potential, while not wasted, is not fully lived up to. Considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre and less and wasting potential, was expecting worse and was relieved that while wanting in a fair few areas it was actually marginally better than most recent low-budget viewings. 'The Toymaker' started off quite reasonably, the first twenty minutes or so starting the film off on a promising, unsettling and atmospheric note that really does intrigue. Production values did have some eeriness and nowhere near as cheap as expected, and the music, which not the most memorable in the world, didn't detract from the atmosphere. The setting is effectively spooky. There are a few spooky and suspenseful moments. However, the story was severely wanting in especially the second half after starting off promisingly for the first twenty minutes. It is very disjointed, extremely padded with so many scenes that add nothing and gets dull and uneventful too early after the promising start. The final third especially loses atmosphere, one loses interest and things start to not make sense and gets increasingly jumbled. Too much of the film is vague and doesn't explore some elements and story strands enough (motives are underexplored or absent for example), some dropped soon after being introduced, go nowhere or serve much point. Ending is unsatisfying, on top of feeling hasty there are too many loose ends hanging in the air. Got the sense that the writers didn't know how to end the film. Would have liked much more tension and suspense (which were generally very lacking), scares could have been more consistent and much more (what there was was predictable and cheap) and generally weren't surprising enough. Found too the script to lack natural flow and with a lot of cheese, repetition and padding going on, and the characters bland with some adopting some annoying and not always logical decision making. The support acting in particular is even more problematic than the second half's storytelling, at best it was poor and too often terrible. Overall, weak but could have been worse. 3/10 Bethany Cox

It it really good for a small production with what they have. Acting are durable and a little passed beginners. The story is interestingly hooking, If this was a book Im sure alot of people would read it. Speaking of books the story is kinda cheesy like the goosebumps books and series.

Bought this thinking it was the 3rd film & of course another sequel to see if the film franchise of Robert the Doll COULD get any better. This film acts as a part Part 1 of the final film, similar to that of the last 2 sequels to The Hunger Games! I thought this film would be a spin off in a way, but it had Robert i it so I took it to be apart of that franchise. The film seems to be in that pivot of being either not much better than the previous one or a hell of a lot worse! This film goes back in time to 1941 Nazi Germany, the time of the 2nd World War. A family harbour a man carrying a book & the German SAS Agents are hunting him down, because he is the "enemy of the state". The family succeed in hiding him though know nothing about the book the man is carrying or it's contents. But the next day the agents arrive back with their boss & kill the family, knowing they were harbouring the man (who also dies too). The daughter then gets shot also but flees & dies from her injuries in a toy shop of dolls in a small village (rolls eyes) in front of a decrepit old man, who resembles Hugo! The man reads the book thinking it's nothing but discovers it's a spell book which brings dolls back to life, this includes yours truly & 2 others! But the agents are still hunting for the girl & capture the old man only for the dolls to come back & kills the agents holding their master! That's the plot in a nut shell there, but the film itself is so over padded with story-line, that you forget what the film is about! It misses the point, you'd think it were an entirely different film! The killer doll theme seems lost & blurred in this over padded film with plot points & story! There's a few deaths which to be fair are better than the first 2 films which lacked in that department! But the films theme & overall pacing seems to drag & you only saw a few minutes of killer dolls & murders, which even then, seemed to be uncreative & tame at best despite the bloody content! The film seems to hang in a limbo. Which is why I'm not too sure what to rate it, but I'd have to say it's not a major improvement any more than it's predecessors. It's tough but I think a 3/10 is as fair as it gets with this film!

Is there such a genre as horror comedy? Skeptically, I watched this prequel, expecting nothing other than a B-movie using the well-worn horror trope of killer dolls. Think about it: killer dolls. A ridiculous concept, and yet people manage to be terrified by the idea. Accordingly, the film starts in a completely serious manner, slowly building suspense, while sticking to a basic plot line. Particularly fascinating is the simultaneously intense, yet laid-back, interrogation technique used by Erick Hayden's Nazi. Despite some superb set locations (notably, the toy shop), as the action moves on, you then start to register a few anachronisms and style "fails". You get a little annoyed and find yourself thinking that it could have been more true to the 1940's period if this, or if that. By the time the enigmatic toymaker character makes his appearance, you can't believe how a particular make-up disaster occurred and want the scene to look more realistic. You resent being distracted from believing in the doll's powers - and thus you have been ensnared in a rather mischievous, Hitchcock-like manner. Eventually when Hayden's Nazi officer gets his comeuppance, you are delivered into the realms of Laurel and Hardy. By the atmospheric final scene, shot at a railway station, Lee Bane's deadpanned final line completely convulsed me. I realized I had been well and truly fooled. Genius. More please.

Yeah I know, it isn't scary, nor did the toymakers make up look real. And neither was the story very interesting. So why do I rate it 7? Simply because I really enjoyed it. The acting by most actors was good, can't say anything about that, but what struck me most was the way the Colonel spoke. His words were well chosen and really contained many truths. Besides all that it wasn't boring like many say. Yeah, the dolls, well, never full on screen so you know there is a hand holding it lol. But who cares, you will lol many times, I promise! Just give it a try and you will almost get that Gremlins feeling most of us had back in the 80's. Not scary, but unique in its own way and in my opinion could very well be a classic. I enjoyed it! We need more like this one, just threw some original ideas in a script and dang, some people do understand!

It is hard to believe that this movie dates from 2017, it could as easily have been a product form the sixties or even pre war! It is supposed to be a horror movie and a nowadays horror movie should at least have an adequate pace, some decent scares and convincing CGI. Not so here. The pace of this movie is slower than slow, it is as if all the actors are sleep-walking, while pronouncing their elaborate and endless dialogues as distinct as if they are speakers on some congress to an audience that's fighting to stay awake. The whole sequence of the Nazi officers visiting and searching the house of the poor farmers family lasts over half an hour, not because there is so much to do or show, but just because the head Nazi takes forever and ever in explaining and justify his actions. I suppose the director aimed at some chilling effect, but the contrary is the case: after 10 minutes you just think: My god, DO something, go away, kill them, but DO something!!! When the shots finally fall, it's almost a relief. And this dreadful boring mode goes on throughout the whole movie. Were the farmer and his wife already the epitome of mono-syllabic bores, the real main character (the Toymaker) is even worse. He drawls his endless lines infinitely, moves as a zombie and by the way wears the worst fake bald-head cap that I've seen for a long time. To top all this, the dolls - who of course should be the horrifying centers of this movie - are duller and dummer than I've seen in a long time. They are supposed to have come to life by way of an occult spell, but they do not change one bit in their appearance, they hardly move at all, we just see their wooden arms lift a tiny bit and come down again. Wow, it really made me cringe, but not from fear! When they in the end murder the treacherous help and the Nazi officer, they do this so clumsily and slow (you can almost feel how someone outside the camera tries to move their wooden limbs about), that it's a miracle why the assaulted (one of them a well-trained military, one may presume!) don't just crawl away out of reach of these preposterous little arms. Maybe I missed some deeper meaning, and I do acknowledge the nice atmosphere and photography, but that was about all. It's beyond me who the makers thought to please with this supposed horror movie without even the slightest scare or horror or even a tiny anxiety or thrill. However, I did sleep very well afterwards, so it did serve at least one purpose!
