n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Director Paul Verhoeven's 1997 loose (and I do mean loose) adaptation of Robert Heinlein's controversial sci-fi novel 'Starship Troopers' threatens to collapse in on itself at times thanks to it's over the top, and frankly not very clever, satire. But like Verhoven's other sci-fi satire, 'RoboCop', it manages to entertain and often beat the more serious sci-fi popcorn actioners at their own game.Unfortunately, Star Wars legend Phil Tippett's cheap and poorly made direct-to-video sequel is a total lost cause. It starts off with a half-hearted nod to Verhoven's satirical spin, but it quickly shifts gears and becomes an uninspired sci-fi horror slog.There isn't a day rainy enough for me to recommend this utter waste of 90 minutes.

Starship Troopers is by no means a perfect movie. I personally enjoyed it, but it really wouldn't even come close to being Paul Verhoven's best film. Probably what it does best is the social satire. Those commercials throughout the film are absolutely hilarious to someone with a darker sense of humor (such as myself). It is a decent send-up to sci-fi action movies, embracing tropes of the genre more than inventing them, and succeeds pretty well at doing so. Cue this piece of trash. It is inherently obvious from the beginning that this film has a significantly lower budget. There are no big stars, the special effects border on laughable, and the writing is intellectually obscene. The first movie wasn't exactly a smart film, but this movie makes the writing in that one seem profound. Poorly written stereotypes flood the screen and stupidity ensues. Basically this movie is the plot to John Carpenter's The Thing (an absolutely fantastic and intelligently done sci-fi film, highly recommended) stuffed into a Starship Troopers movie. That could work if Paul Verhoven returned, or maybe if you got a director like David Cronenberg to somehow agree to it, but in this instance it is simply awful. Nothing about this movie seems sincere. I have very rarely come across a movie that was completely devoid of passion, or any other emotion for that matter. It just looked like no one was having fun (because they probably weren't) in a cheap made for TV movie that was shot quickly and economically to reduce costs. It's really quite a shame, as the first movie set up for sequels pretty well, but trust me and just stop after watching the first one.

I 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.

The 2nd movie is a big let down Despite the fact that they have 8 years of advance tech (1997~2004), this movie look dirt cheap And what it lack the most is the Heroic felling from the 1st movie and the professional of the army Compare to 1st movie, the 2nd look like totally amateur playing with plastic gun, most of the cast are cheap 3rd rate actor And the director is trying his best to make it look like a Halloween movie but this fail too Totally lack original
