- Despite good intentions, “Small Soldiers” is a muddle of violence and sermonizing that doesn’t achieve its intended comic edge. When the lethal toys go into action, any “message” evaporates, and all one can do is marvel at the technology that has brought them to life — and be dumbstruck by the onscreen carnage.

Either a kids film or an adult film so you end up with this weird in between. Critics at the time gave it mixed reviews and it's deserved. The positives are the design for the toys themselves and some of the action scenes especially the climax are a lot of fun.
Thoughts on Small Soldiers? 98 is my peak nostalgia year from when I was a kid, and I always loved this movie. Growing up, I'm surprised people don't really like it. More so because of what it could have been rather than what it was, but it still has its anti-fascist message (which rings true DEEPLY today) and yeah, I like the Gorgonites a lot.
