Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Console best movie i've ever seen.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
kosmasp Remember when I said 6/7 may be the weakest entries to the franchise/series of the Puppet Master? I was talking about actual movies, that bring you something new. This is just a rehash of old highlights thrown in together. This could be a DVD/Blu Ray Extra, though bloated a bit, of best kills and all that. It has about 90 % of old clips narrated by someone who is being held at gun point because ... well that would be a spoiler.Not that it does matter in the end of course. Because this is just a cash in. On the other hand, maybe this is sufficient and you don't need to watch all the previous entries to get you up to speed before the next three installments formed a trilogy that could've been shortened and was too long for it's own good and also kind of feels like a cash in? Then again, I'll be awaiting entry number 12 now, which is supposed to be really good fun
Matthias Schwarz Puppet Master - The Legacy is basically a clip show of the previous movies which came before, so if you have seem them, you can skip this and don't miss anything new, except maybe 5-10 minutes of two people talking in a cellar. Everything else is really just one big lazy as can get clip show so many series and sitcoms are doing to fill an episode to save money.But even if you haven't seen the previous movies, I wouldn't recommend it. Because it is not doing a too good job retelling the story. Thought it at least tries to gather the loose threads and tries to explain a few plot holes. I think it only points them out even more so. I actually stopped watching the films after this, and I liked the first three or five, they weren't very good, but charming and had some good stop motion animation, but they were getting worse, and this one is really one of the worst and laziest movies I ever saw. The charm and puppeteering art of the Puppet Master movies is not to be found in "The Legacy".
John Tedrick I am being honest when I say that I enjoy the Puppet Master films. They have and always will hold a place in my imagination. But this crock of a movie is certainly NOT the zenith of this series. In fact, if Puppet Master 3 was the zenith, then this film is the nadir. First note that I did not put a note above saying that this review contains spoilers. In fact, it does not contain spoilers. But that is not because I want to guard you from having your experience ruined. It is because there is literally nothing to spoil about this "movie". I used quotations because The Legacy isn't really a movie, per se, but a series of clips of stock footage from previous films framed by 25 minutes of new footage to form a pointless new story. I am a forgiving critic, usually able to appreciate the effort put into a movie, but this one has no effort to speak of. It is a celluloid, parasitic byproduct designed to leech money from fans. If this were a TV special on SYFY channel, I could forgive it, because it does recap the series with some competence for those who are too lethargic to watch the real movies. But if you're one of those sloths, then I pity you, because this Puppet Master is not seeing the series at its best. This is seeing schlock money-grubbing at its worst. I hope I don't have to say such unkind words of these puppets again.
Hockhult This is a 70 or 80 min clip show depending on what version you got. There are hardly any new material and just of a man remembering the old movies.The result is a complete mess of clips without proper story line. The whole point of this movie must be to get some fast money from the fans of the series without making any effort.There is just nothing here for anyone. I you have watched or planed to watch the other movies in the series. Skip this one. I you never seem a Puppet Master movie go see another one.I would recommend Puppet master or Puppet Master 3 - Toulon's Revenge as a starting point for this series.
