 | Action packed adventure. A movie the whole family will enjoy. I loved all of the Gorgonites. Each one is unique. After watching the movie once, we needed to find it to buy we liked it so much. Had a lot of comedy. |

| This is a nice change from the usual killer-toy story. Most of the others give occult or supernatural explanations for the animation of the toy. This time we get to see just science and technology (even if it doesn't make sense). The basic premise is that a new line of high-tech action figures have been equipped with military computer chips.
In a small town one set of the toys is activated before the shelf date. The toys come in two forms, the Commando Elite and the peaceful Gorgonites. Gorgonites hide and commandos hunt them down. The problem is their chips allow them to be much to good. Soon a teenager, his family and the girl he likes are all embroiled in a growing war between the two types of toys.
The plot development was very well handled with things progressing as they would if the premise were true. The technical flaws are not great as they are just the background. Handling them more believably would have added a lot of slow footage to the film and ruined the effect. A superb cast of live and voice actors also helps to pull the film together into something that really works. While fun and aimed at younger audiences, there is lots of violence and some very weighty issues. Check it out. |

| this movie is/was too gruesome for anybody!!! too much blood and action and guts flying around it was more like watching a movie about a war!!! it had all the blood only "battery fluid" yuck and also why did they make this and point it at kids?!?! it's ridiculus how much blood and guts were flying all over the town!!! and that one part when the kid stuffed that one action figure down a garbage disposal yuck! and then they buried him and tore his head off!! if you like movies about war then this is for you |

| What an embarressing end to the tragically short career of Phil Hartman - not to mention that this is yet another movie that emasculates Dennis Leary's wry humor. This mishmash of syrup and special effect is nearly unwatchable. What pushed it beyond silly drivel over into the objectionable category was its transparent Left Coast agenda. Lets see - the military is bad, the group of mutant freaks are the real heroes ... yeah, sounds like Hollywood. |
