Holy crap, why did I watch this. I wish I had remembered that I barely got through the first movie, Robert. Since sequels are never as good as the original, it's a good idea to pass when the first flick was crap.
The first forty minutes of the film are focused on two people who appear to be the main characters, but disappear half way through the film. Be prepared to wait to see the dolls since they don't show up until then. One of those dolls is a clown whose make up is just like John Wayne Gacy's, which is creepy in a gross way, rather than a scary way. Also creepy? That I recognized the make up.
The puppet master is obviously wearing old man make up. He's an old man in the 1940s and yet still alive in present day. Everyone has a bad german accent, and there are no likable characters in the movie.
This takes place during World War II. Nazi's want to kill the toymaker and the Allies want to protect him. At one point, they end up on a train. It's a finite space, yet the Nazi assassin can't find the toymaker. What an idiot. Also one of the Nazi's has a hat that is too big for him which is really distracting because it waggles when he moves his head.
I ended up fast forwarding through some of it to see if anything interesting was going to happen. It doesn't. If you're looking for Nazi's and puppets, you'd be much better off watching one of the Puppetmaster movies. Avoid Robert at all costs.
