For anyone who has not seen the first three movies, This is a little bit of a Spoiler. The original Film saw The puppets trying to protect their masters secrets in various bloody ways.
The second film saw them trying to Reanimate their master which by the end they had...
Puppet Master 2 was a total departure going into Prequel Territory and showing how Toulon fought in the war and how his puppets were created.
Of the first three films, ! was good, 2 was a bit of a let down and three was AMAZING!
So now we come to Puppet Master 3 - The Demon... Now originally this was going to be Called "When Bad Puppets Turn Good" - Thank god they ditched that Title.
Puppet Master 4 does not start out too well... In fact even by the standard of effects at the time, The masks on the Enemy are very poor.
Fight scenes are lacklustre at best, and there is little challenge to the imagination.
There are far too many plot holes to even refer to this a sequel... It is better thought of as a Stand alone movie.
So is it bad... Not Terrible but there was so much scope that was not explored from the first two... It is a fun watch but far from a series best!
However, the ground is laid for Remakes which with todays effects and a better story writer (Rob Zombie I hope you are reading this!) Could make a very effective series of films that would be fun and a joy to watch...
4 is OK! But it could have been so much better. Given it took until 1993 to release - Maybe the studios lost faith in the franchise, which is a serious shame as the third left an amazing story to work with.
