source: Puppet Master: Axis Termination

This a good horror movie. I can not believe people do not like it. It is so scary. It one of scariest movie I have seen. It is not has scary has Retro Puppet master but still it is very scary. It has good acting. It also has a good story line.

Directed by Charles Band, who wrote this with Neal Marshall Stevens, Puppet Master: Axis Termination has Blade, Tunneler, Jester, Six Shooter and Leech Woman teaming up with Dr. Ivan Ivanov (George Appleby), his clairvoyant daughter Elisa (Tania Fox) and sex magic priestess Georgina (Alynxia America) to battle the Axis, who have Doktor Gerde Ernst (Tonya Kay), the Elder God worshipping Sturmbahnfurher Steiner Krabke (Kevin Scott Allen), Freddy hyperdermic glove ripoff artist Oberheller Friede Steitze(Lilou Vos) and puppets Bombshell, Weremacht and Blitzkreig within their ranks. It also kills off Danny and Beth, the good guys from Axis of Evil and Axis Rising about a minute in. Hope you weren't didn't like them all that much. This also has a total Italian horror look as it's packed with color gels. There's also plenty of blood and gore, perhaps the most in this series for a long time. It's not the best movie you've seen, but it's the third puppets against the Third Reich movie and the twelfth overall movie in the series, so the fact that it's even halfway decent has to be some kind of small victory.

The first 3 in the Puppets franchise were the best. And there was a lot of near unwatchable trash until finally this one. The key actors are quite good. The 2 nazi antagonists, the American Captain, the Russian daughter, the voodoo witch... all very good actors that help carry this movie, such as it is. The story is self contained, so I highly reccomend that you skip the two previous turds in this nazi trilogy; as they are not necessary to enjoy this Axis Termination movie. Supernaturally enhanced Allies & puppets vs supernaturally enhanced nazis & their puppets. Enjoy this decent B movie. As a bonus, there is some minor female nudity here and there; and a good amount of R-rated gore as most horror movies generally should have.

Puppet Master Axis Termination is free on Tubi and the final chapter in the Axis trilogy. The German puppets are ready to fight till the death and finally end the puppets. Little do the Germans know the puppets plan to infiltrate their base and bring their reign of terror down forever. Despite being directed by legendary puppet master director Charles Bamd this movie had a very different feel from the previous Puppet Master films and was very disappointing. I'd actually call this one of the worst 3 Puppet Master films in the series. Overall, this is worth watching for fans of the series but isn't one of the better Puppet Master pictures.

I love the Puppet Master series, but this is just plain bad. I get this trilogy isn't to be taken seriously, but there are limits. Do yourself a favour and stick with the original 3 movies!! Best part of the movie? The closing credits.

The entries in this much beloved franchise have always been hit or miss, the whole "Axis" chapters, which have spanned over three full length movies, (and a webisode series, which this movie collects)has gotten a little dull, and the story is wearing thin. I mean, how many times can you keep sending the puppets after Nazis? The acting in this series has never been top notch Oscar winning stuff either, and with this, its not different. The acting is all over the place, hanging from terrible to just OK. The fight scenes also, specifically the ones involving the puppets, are pretty bad and silly looking as well. The horrible "Robert" series, which presently has three movies in it, ripped this whole story line off with "Robert and the toy maker" to better effect.

With their former owners dead, the puppets are given to the military to determine how they move about, drawing attention from a deranged Nazi commandant and his assistant looking to control their own puppets and forcing the two sides to utilize their resources in order to stop the other. This here was a rather decent enough entry. One of the film's few positives here is the way this one dives into the concluding chapter of the storyline present, making this a rather strong outing. The fact that the dolls are given straight to the military in order to continue their research on how they work and what their orders are going to be for the majority of the film is all given out in the first opening minutes here, wasting no time and getting this plotline going. This quick-moving story enables the far-reaching elements such as clairvoyance and dream premonitions to emerge as quite logical in this universe, introducing the concept of the dueling group of mystics battling to keep themselves secret from each other or the highly enjoyable series of interactions that play up the need to complete the dolls in their own spaces. This setup allows the film to have some rather fun cheesy action with this mix of magic and sorcery. The idea of watching the Nazi's conduct their experiments, including them going through the test subjects in their chambers to the experiments with the captured dolls as well as the daughter, offer up some truly enjoyable supernatural-themed action as the ability to control and manipulate everyone around them to do their bidding. Not only do we see their own soldiers and subordinates being controlled in some rather tense scenes in the compound but the encounter at the refinery allows for a much more chilling demonstration of their powers when mixed together with the puppet action here in the finale. With the gunplay coming into play with the puppets alongside the rest of the battles against the controllers, there's a lot to like here from the kinetic action and fine bloodshed with the dolls in play to hold it up rather nicely. That said, there are a few minor flaws to be had here. The main issue to be had is the lack of obvious puppet action since there's way too much time spent elsewhere with this one. There's way too much emphasis on the mysticism between the scientist and his daughter attempting to explain their powers that really just keep going on in stilted English full of gibberish and nonsensical megalomaniacal threats rather than putting the puppets to work. By having both sides gravitate towards speechifying as well as the overwhelming need for standing around letting their powers take center stage rather than focusing on all-out puppet action, the film takes on more of a fantasy vibe more than any other entry in the series which might be somewhat detrimental. The other factor is the cheap-looking special effects for the puppets, who look for very CGI-based and don't really have much realism in their few scenes. Beyond this, there isn't much else to this one. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Language and Nudity.

Well the end of a trilogy and also the end of a cycle or whatever you want to call it. Apparently the newest entry after this (movie number 12 by the way, which is called "Littlest Reich") will be a reboot. And it's funny because there will be an original cast member (at least), although Barbara Crampton did not have a character name in the very first Puppet Master. But back to this one. This concludes a trilogy within the franchise and as I and probably others have stated before you could have told the story in one movie, but they stretched it over 3. Puppetry is good, though I'm not as impressed as I was with the first one. While the budget restrictions probably are the same, the very first one was way back ... Anyway there are worse movies (even in this franchise) and if you want to have a complete overview of things (like me), you'll probably watch it, even if it doesn't matter to the next one ...
