The Legend of Robert the Doll

This time Rober the Doll gets trapped in Nazi Germany,

Just the same awful filmmaking, with it's awful script and direction.

First of all, you don't even see the doll until 3/4's of the way thru the film. The entire story was ludicrous. I guess the special effects/makeup dept had about $20 for their budget. Because when blood goes to splatter, they use CGI blood to make it appear as if it splattered onto the camera. Also, the old man on the train; I would be HIGHLY EMBARRASSED by the makeup job they did on him. I wouldn't want my name affiliated with doing the makeup on him. They tried making the actor look old. What it looked like was a guy with Silly Putty stuck to his face with cotton balls for eyebrows & hair and also wearing granny glasses. I couldn't believe someone saw what the actor looked like in makeup and said "Yep! Nailed it! He really looks like an old man."

Anyway, do yourself a favor and skip this bomb. It's a time and $ waster.

As the title says, where was he? Oh right: he appears an hour into the movie for 2 minutes and has 2 scenes. Terrible. The beginning of this movie is 40 minutes too long. What's happening has nothing to do with Robert/toy maker, and doesn't really tie in. All the films in the franchise are awful, but this is the worst so far. Hopefully with how the movie ends they won't make any more.

I've watched a couple of the Robert movies, and yes, they are dire, but oddly entertaining. The acting is mostly dreadful, and the storylines are weak. The main gripe for me though, is the complete lack of authenticity with regard to the sets. This film is supposedly set in Nazi Germany, yet the cottage and the train station they used are so obviously somewhere in England. The station signs are in English, the train is English, the interior of the cottage is typically English, the countryside looks English.

Then there's the toy maker's makeup. In order to make him appear old, they have applied heavy makeup to his face. Unfortunately it looks like he has had an accident with some playdoh.

I actually gave up on this half way through as there was no sign of Robert. All in all, simply awful.

I normally get really pissed off when I waste my time on a bad film. However, don't get me wrong this is awful, but as its sooo bad it just makes you laugh. At least I won't forget this one in a hurry lool.
