Small Soldiers Reviews
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
I can't think of a Hollywood entertainment I've enjoyed as much all year, and both audiences I saw the movie with seemed delighted as well.
Salon.com
Scott Rosenberg
Fortunately, it's possible to ignore the morals entirely and simply enjoy the filmmakers' skill at creating carefully contained mayhem in a microcosm.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
As with many films in which special effects are the real stars, the technology here commands more respect and interest than the material otherwise warrants.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Though it starts promisingly, the picture ends as a standoff between the affection Dante and company bring to the project and its increasingly frenetic and tiresome emphasis on what special effects can make its little people do.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
As absurd as the premise might seem, Small Soldiers works for two primary reasons: the visual effects ... are entirely convincing and the script ... never takes its tongue out of its cheek.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
...wildly entertaining...
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What bothered me most about Small Soldiers is that it didn't tell me where to stand--what attitude to adopt.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
This live-action, animated feature has all the charm of the entirely animated Toy Story plus an audacity all of its own.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
An infomercial with the schmaltz that passes for emotion in family-aimed films.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Jeffrey Westhoff
Typical of Dante's films, Small Soldiers is an unbroken string of pop culture in-jokes.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Smart satirical action-comedy about talking action toys.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Stan Winston's miniature and CGI effects are wonderful, but they can't conceal an obviously weak script in what is unfortunately a footnote to Dante's better work.
Film Threat
Ron Wells
It looks like the movie was edited down from a much meaner version, to our loss.
Cincinnati Enquirer
Margaret A. McGurk
...an entertaining romp...
