Toys Reviews
Why do we watch movies?
Um...maybe because of our attraction to visuals! First off, ignore all the reviewers who complain that this story line isn't the most imaginative ever thought up, and therefore give this fantastic movie a terrible review. The main point of this movie is that it's visually fun to watch!
The movie starts with Zevo Toy's founder Kenneth giving a dying wish to his military brother Leland: that the brother take over the toy factory when Kenneth passes away. Kenneth's son Leslie (Robin Williams) has a true love for the company, but lacks the leadership skills to really take over the company...until Leland starts making toys into actual weapons that use kids to do all the killing. This forces Leslie to come to grips with some serious issues about what's really important to him, and makes him the couragous leader (along with Captain Patrick Zevo, Leland's son) of a toy army to take on Leland's insanity.
I'm not a big fan or rap by any means, but I really got a kick out of LL Cool J's performance in this movie, and it was fun to watch his character develop into a toy-factory loving guy. Robin Williams is brilliant as usual, and the rest of the cast is enjoyable as well.
The most important scene in this movie is definitly the fake vomit testing room that turns into a potentially deadly crossword puzzle - but there are many other visual treats as well...enjoy!
How much did they spend on this garbage? Worst Levinson film I've seen since "Envy"
I actually wish they had given us director commentary on this disc because I would have listened to a little of it just to see what Barry Levinson was thimking and I would cross my fingers and hope he would blame the whole thing on a really bad drug trip. Take a look at the man's filmography and tell me if you think this absolute disgrace belongs there. Worse, he wasn't alone, SOMEONE ELSE liked the idea enough to co-write it. Everyone else can blame a large paycheck, but Levinson actually came up with the idea. This is one of the most beautiful terrible films I ever seen, if they took one tenth of the imagination they put into the set and toy designs and invested it into the screenplay they might have had a movie.
