Just for the record I know not all slasher movies are bad, but when you watch a movie thinking it's and action-horror and end up watching a horrible slasher movie, you will be disappointed. This film had none of the originals satire, and manages to make many, many, mistakes (And not even entertaining ones)! Instead of overdoing it (Like most sequels), this film doesn't even do it in the FIRST PLACE. Instead of the goofy/dumb/incompetent sequel tone, Starship Troopers 2 is as bitter as they come. It is not easy to watch and (At least to me) is not even sort of entertaining. The slasher aspect sort of sneaks up on you. This movie starts up like a sci-fi movie and gradually turns into this gross joyless film that is Starship a Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation. I do not recommend this awful film.
... View MoreThis is one of the worst movies I've seen, have nothing from the first movie (just some scenes stolen from it).It looks like you're watching an independent film, but bad in all aspects, bad acting, bad special effects, bad music that never fits with the scenes, unnecessarily excessive violence, bad plot... actually there is no plot, just a bunch of random people in a studio that looks like a garage killing insects...Boring, don't waste 90 minutes of your life watching this, Kelly Carlson nude don't worth it.This movie ruins the Starship Troopers franchise.
... View MoreI went to see the movie with high expectations. The first Starship Troopers movie is actually one of my favorite movies of all time. This movie is a let-down in all aspects: the story is predictable and deviates from the original, the acting is awful and there are no special effects to be honest. It seems as though the studio had 7 million dollars that needed to be burnt. In my opinion, the franchise should focus on a man vs alien-bug storyline. The movie seems as though they were trying to mimic "Species" while trying to retain the Starship Troopers title. Thus including a host of unnecessary sex scenes. I do not know how the laws concerning movies work, but I think Paul Verhoeven should sue whoever decided to make this piece of crap. If you value your money and time, do not subject yourself to the agony of sitting through this movie.
... View MoreThe first Starship Troopers film, although very cheesy in parts, was very well done. It had all the elements of a great sci-fi adventure film, and it made an interesting comment on the nature of propaganda and overblown patriotism.The second film does none of these things. It's a poor imitation of the first movie. Whilst the script in ST1 was cheesy, it was good-cheesy, like Die Hard, whereas the script in ST2 feels like someone didn't even bother with a second draft. The acting is atrocious, the characters are one dimensional, the plot is weak and the film is generally badly put together. Even the graphics are lousy, there is a moment when you see a man being crushed by a heavy metal door, but the door (presumably paper-mache) visibly wobbles from side to side on his chest. I doubt there's even a level of kitsch value to the film, in the manner of an Ed Wood film, as it's clearly just been made to cash in on the success of the first film.I was surprised to hear they'd gone ahead and made a third film. It must be an improvement on this, as it couldn't be any worse!
