If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The whole idea of Puppet Masters are way up there on my list, most movies today are lame or boring or nothing cool about it, besides very few movies draws attention to me. I always liked puppet or doll movies due to their the most creepiest. For me personally, i think this movie is really good, i liked the main character, and his girl. I really liked the Sarg, he was big and funny in my book, and sadly he had to die. Usually that happens in horror, the odd but cool guys die, and same old, same old that live. But the main character which i forget names as i type so i think its Danny, i am sure of it lives so that i am happy for.And Blade is the usual, awesome and cool looking puppet. I love watching him, he brings humor and etc to the table to me. The rest did a fairly great job and it isn't the worst, movie and its my FIRST IMDb i ever reviewed, mostly i tired of the low ratings on this, i just bought it off walmart and i recently saw it, yea there is times where looks cheap or so like when Bombshell was shooting her teets guns and the two people in the background didn't run away as 1 would, i mean really? Some of the puppet fighting was a little lame but funny. For me personally i cant wait if it comes out with a new one. But its my taste, not everyone i guess. The worst one was with that mentally ill character barely showed puppets all about the love triangle this was more of a two part series, so i like it, and i rather have the puppets be good than bad, or else be routing for the EVIL versions of the puppet masters than doing good against evil with them. Just my opinion.

All I can say is that I was blown away by how bad Axis Rising is and I am realistic knowing what Full Moon filmmaking is all about. Not even the puppets or the new evil puppets could save this film from its terrible awful premise. The acting especially the new Danny and Beth were just plain unwatchable. The story of the new Nazi's and their doctor was outlandish and complete rubbish. For the hot German not even to take her clothes off was an opportunity missed by the writers and director. The acting was atrocious from start, middle and end and even the dialogue is cheesier than normal. I had a couple laughs and enjoyed some puppet action from of course Blade and Six Shooter otherwise nothing in this film was at all enjoyable or interesting. Avoid watching unless you are a fan or the series it should be viewed for free online.

Puppet Master X Axis Rising is the latest addition to Full Moon's Puppet Master (PM) franchise. If you like the indie horror series about magically animated puppets with a penchant for bloodshed, you won't be disappointed. Frankly, I don't understand one-star reviews for a movie like this. Axis Rising has a built-in "bad movie" factor, but it's fun-bad in my view. The Nazis play up nefariousness for all its worth, and Brad Potts is hilarious as Sergeant Rock knockoff Sergeant Stone. Paul Arnold cuts a George C. Scott-like figure in his brief appearance as General Porter. And Stephanie Sanditz, who plays Nazi villainess Uschi, gives a deliriously sexual, power-hungry performance with a presence as eye-popping as any hentai girl the demographic for this type of movie could imagine. What else could the straight-to-video horror junkie want? It might have run longer (a common flaw with Full Moon films), but writer Shane Bitterling does a nice job balancing the storyline with his obligation to showcase a slew of creepy puppets. Kenneth Branagh acting? Peter Jackson effects? Polanski atmosphere? Come on! Not to beat the dead horse of believability, but anyone who saw the last PM knows this WWII is not set in our universe (in writer August White's version the U.S. jumps into the fray in 1939). Relax, it's okay if some of the accents and period slang miss the mark. Enjoy the movie for what it's supposed to offer: grue, cleavage, and puppets.

It can best be summarized by what I learned from the film: 1. You'll always have time to change your hair, makeup, clothes, and overall appearance when on the run from puppets. 2. AK-47s were actually used by Nazi's and used before 1947 when the Russians started using them. 3. It's easy for Nazis to get into the U.S. undetected and prance around Los Angeles in full Nazi uniforms. 4. While Leech Women and Jester could easily escape a cloth bag, a puppet with a drill on his head CANNOT. 5. Cool puppets like Ninja just disappear without a good explanation. 6. In one day, Danny was able to upgrade from a small apartment to a two story house. 7. ONLY Chinese women can be called Dragon Queens NOT Japanese women. 8. Don't trust EVEN Bible salesmen 9. Women were allowed to be high ranking officers in the Nazi army 10. The U.S. Army is unable to detect Nazi's who wear full uniforms in Chinatown where they're the only White people there. 11. Protecting heroes is beneath a sergeant who has served 11 combat tours 12. Nazis were able to sneak in Hitler busts and swastika statues into the U.S. 13. Nazis are not afraid to speak German in public and on U.S. soil 14. Heels are the perfect footwear for women sneaking around a Nazi hideout. 15. As menacing as puppets with guns can look, there's a chance that they're VERY inaccurate especially if they're designed by Nazis. 16. Kamikaze is historically the first puppet who says words as opposed to grunting, whimpering, and laughing. 17. What the hell happened to Blitzkrieg and Weremacht? 18. Letting the person who created evil puppets go instead of getting him arrested by the army is a smart move.
