Critics consensus

“Small Soldiers has plenty of visual razzle-dazzle, but the rote story proves disappointingly deficient in director Joe Dante's trademark anarchic spirit.”

Small Soldiers is no Toy Story, but director Joe Dante delivers a moderately entertaining movie with high production values and low-brow parody.

A clever mix of real-life actors and special effects.

...this smells like a script slapped together around a toy-product launch.

The special effects are the selling point, and even they’re not always easy on the eyes.
