Starship Troopers 2 : Héros de la Fédération

This is not a sequel to Starship Troopers, it is a rip off of Aliens. The only subversive element is when the alien-infected General tells his human enemies that the bugs are fighting because humans are too unpredictable and are not ordered - a complete travesty of the satire on American conformity which the original film was! There's a bit of kit off as bugs are obviously bisexual! And Brenda Strong reappears as a sergeant after dying as a captain in the first film! Hollywood, get your act together, this was truly dreadful, even by modern day standards. I have to continue this review.......... because you must have ten lines...... Rubbish.... Rubbish.... Rubbish...

With a TV follow-up of the original "Starship Troopers" movie, my prejudgement whispered in my ear that this will be just another worthless follower. Actually, it wasn't that bad. This piece of sci-fi action contains a lot of alien blood, alien shredder and probably about 5000000 bullets (at least) getting fired towards an alien target. It starts out rather boring, but after a while it all sets up for an actual (!) story (that's not what I expected from a piece like this). I think this piece is way underrated with just an average of 4, at least I'd say it's a 6+ depending on the mood while seeing it. Since I'm pretty happy today, I guess that made it's influence. :)

This weak excuse for a film insulted the good name of Starship Troopers. Not only does it have very little to do with the book, but it's plot is stupid as well. Good performances by the actor/actresses can't get past the pointlessly excessive violence and several frankly disturbing video sequences. This film has none of the style or comic timing of the first, just an unnecessary amount of murder and worrying sections. I'm a teenager and I thought this was over-violent for crying out loud!! What happened to the direction and writing teams of the original anyway? Why is the audience forced to endure this piece of trash. Many people, like myself, probably only saw this film because of the brilliance and originality of the first, but are instead subjected to this low rubbish. Yet another unneeded sequel,thank you so much Hollwood!!

This movie is unwatchable. I found every single feature of it to be revolting. For one, we have the effects. Every single bullet shot is a lame CGed blue pulse. Two, they obviously didn't have anybody research military tactics. When the bugs are about to attack, instead of holding out inside the base and killing the bugs in hemmed-in territory (a la Sun Tsu), they move outside the base and massively expand their front. When the troops send a runner to inform someone that the bugs were coming, they send a heavy weapons operator, complete with his heavy gun. Moreover, the behavior of the General is completely stupid. He acts like a Corporal at BEST. The music is VERY poorly chosen, and never fits the scenes. Foreshadowing is very overt. Even the directing is shoddy... when the psychic fellow hallucinates, they use very ambiguous effects to signify it. Please, avoid this movie at ALL COSTS. I swear, it couldn't have cost more than $50,000 to make...
