Starship Troopers 2

Recommended Posts

Well after seeing previews for it on Cruel Intentions 3 (way better than 2) and Raw, I figured I'd go buy it. Well I did and its not bad, but its no where near the level of the first. Special Effects are decent. What surprised me was no returning actors, or characters. I mean Casper Van Dien isn't above this.

I was thinking of starting a thread about this movie yesterday, but decided against it.

 

So we won't be graced by the superb acting of Denise Richards this time around? How will I manage to go on?

 

And these straight to home release sequels are out of control (I'm assuming this was one of those movies since I knew nothing about this film until I saw an ad for it Sunday night...)

I've heard that this was made with about 10% of the original's budget, so I'm thinking that FX took up the bulk of that. It's apparently pretty good for what it is, though.

How the hell did they make a Cruel Intentions 3, or even a 2 for that matter? SEBASTIAN DIED AT THE END OF THE FIRST ONE!!!

 

Starship Troopers 2? I don't see how it'd be very good especially since this is the kind of sci-fi flick that needs a nice, big budget and at least relatively decent if not overly cheesy acting (but good cheese not bad).

I caught about 30-40 minutes of ST2 before work one day. All I can remember is a distinct lack of anything happening. I don't know if it was good before or after that, but I was just surprised at the fact they showed the bugs for about 5 seconds in that stretch. Don't make a DTV action movie and not have any action in it.

So, were boobies plentiful in this gem? It was the only saving grace of the first one.

...Yes, the bugs don't die quickly. We got the point!

I still can't understand the original movie. The book has the most perfect Hollywood stuff in it that got left out for reasons I can't understand.

 

But then again, the book is a lot more then "bugs! run!" so they kinda left out everything.

One of my teacher's assistant's in college was an extra in the first ST, and shower her titties in the shower scene. She made the mistake of drunkenly telling one of the frat guys in my class when she saw him at the bar. He told the rest of us. It was hard to watch her teach for the rest of the semester (no pun intended).

The first was garbage, so I take it that this is one to avoid.

The movie was coming on the Action channel about a month before it was on DVD. It wasn't good at all I lasted about 25 minutes in and said fuck it.
