Puppet Master: The Legacy

I don't really count this as a movie, more of a recap of the past movies. Nonetheless I do love recaps so I enjoyed this. The downside of this movie mainly being a recap of the past movies means I don't really have much to say about it. The writing was okay but everything that wasn't commentary on past events felt dull and uninteresting. The small amount of story they did try to have just wasn't good. The atmosphere matched that of listening to a story by a fireplace almost which was nice.

The fact that they would even spend the money to make this is astounding. Its a recap of previous films, nothing more. There was nothing redeemable about this.

This movie is a great way for the series to finally end. Peter (the boy from Puppet Master III) is all grown up and is now the Puppet Master. Well, this girl comes to destroy the puppets and learn Toulon's secrets but instead she listens to the story about the puppets. Most of this movie is footage from Puppet Master II, Puppet Master III, Puppet Master 4, Puppet Master 5, Curse of the Puppet Master, and Retro Puppet Master (sorry... But I guess Paramount wouldn't let them use scenes from 1). Personally I wish Puppet Master Vs. Demonic Toys would finally be made but the way this movie ends they basically say "This is THE final movie in the series..."

Puppet Master 8 is on Amazon Prime for $3.99 and that price is a crime. I wouldn't say that about any of the Puppet Master films but this one. This film was an excuse for Full Moon Features to take the storyline in the first 7 movies and deliver the big storyline in a linear fashion instead of jumping around. This movie is about 1 hour and 20 minutes and probably has 10-15 minutes of total new footage, tops, and this movie is made up of bits and pieces of the first 7 movies telling the tale from beginning to end. Overall this isn't a bad movie but also is a waste of time for someone who already has seen those 7 films. I'd give this a 5/10 and would only watch if you're a diehard Puppet Master fan.

As a fan, I felt it was necessary to view this. Even though I knew it was mainly clips. The problem is instead of answering some questions such as why Toulon was out of character in part 2 and what Curse of the Puppet Master was about. They seemed to always dodge those things. The main problem is the ending, it makes little sense. Hopefully now that Full Moon is back on it's feet the Puppet Master series will return to the glory days of the excellent parts 1-5. Unlike most though, I thought retro puppet master was cute, yet nothing great. My rating-5 out of 10

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

It was an excellent piece to the puppet series because this film showed all of the series, from one to seven. And this was about one woman trying to stop the new puppet master because I would have never guessed that the puppets would be in pain. Plus it showed some of the puppet master series that I didn't see and I what to see it so badly like part two. It showed an appearance of Torch which can turn things and humans, which is cool, and showed the return of the puppet master from part one. It also showed little aliens from part 4 that was also cool, it showed other people episodes that might be good to them and it did.So thanks to this Puppet Master is going to be a big hit.
