This is a review of the first movie Starship Troopers.
Excellent parity of war and governments. Ironically it came out before the Iraq war.
Dina Meyer was nice enough to show her top in a coed shower. Just wish Denise Richards did not wait till later movies to show her top.

Starship Troopers (1997)
In defense of our world, school kids from Argentina join the military upon graduation. Military service is required for full citizenship. During their term they learn their new environment and grow together or apart as they battle big bugs from outer space.
Yep it is another bug movie. And the bugs are big. Too bad for the people that read the book. There is no way to justify this movie to you.
However this is a great parity on military types with the grunts being boxy shaped faces and bodies to match, the elite having pointy accouterments. And the gung-ho getting their brains sucked out. This looks like a pilot for a TV series. Male associate soldiers from the book were replaced with female soldiers who improved the shower scenes.
If you just have to take the 'Fascist Utopia' thing seriously then watch a serious movie where there is still a Paul sucked into the same situation by his teacher and others in "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930).

Starship Troopers 2 - Hero of the Federation (2002)
Hold your breath and close your eyes. This movie hits the deck running. Shooting and running and shooting some more.
Once again the troopers find themselves hopelessly surrounded by bugs. There does not seem to be any way out. Then they find an abandoned outpost and make a heroic stand.
We have one of every stereotype trooper in the book. And it does not take long to figure out the insidious bug plot. The question is will it succeed?
Mean time this movie is much better than the first. As the first was a corruption of the book; this insulted the readers. It was also more cartoonist and insulted sci-fi movie goers. This movie "Starship Troopers 2" does not pretend to be anything but a shoot-em-up movie. Don't think just wince.

troopers 1 is ok
troopers 2 is not.
do not buy troopers 2 rent it.
what a muppet i am for buying this rubbish,
must look on amazon first before purchasing !!!!
First the good points:
the digital effects are good,im pleased shots actually splatter the bugs a big improvement on the first movie that bit.
the actors have flashes of talent, i liked the hero tough guy.
the plot does kind of make sense, perimeter guard tower all good.
but
the camera framing, quality suck. The gore fest sucks. The production quality is just not there, how to totally screw up a good franchise. Forget trying to ape the horror movies. Try something original, and have clever solutions rather than arbitary deaths everywhere, its tired its been done and its not good enough.
The film careered around genres trying to grab anything it could, but taking the worst bits of those genres, so very sad.
third rate horror, third rate porn.
As for the second rate soft focus almost porn(there is no actual porn, before some sad case buys it for that), i was almost expecting some seventies funk music,
dont waste actors talents like that its criminal. It didnt quite plunge the depths but it came real close.
I cant believe i wasted my money on this.
(slaps head repeatedly)

The first of these two movies, Starship Troopers, is a stunningly amazing achievement in both visual effects and political satire. The movie is funny yet very graphic in its violence. For those with a strong stomach and a soft spot for dark humor, this is a film that will entertain again and again.
On the other hand, the second movie, Starship Troupers 2, is everything the first movie isn't. This movie takes various elements from the first movie and screws them all up.
The first thing that you'd notice about the second film is the obvious lack of a budget. The film is on a much smaller scale than the first. That alone doesn't make it a bad movie; but the bad acting, half-witted story and poor lighting make it a film with almost no redeeming value. It's like a made-for-TV movie with some nudity.
If you are considering getting the two pack, I would suggest getting only the first (Starship Troupers) instead and skip the second altogether. There was 1 1/2 hours of my life that I'll never get back. Don't make the same mistake I did.

One of the worst films I've ever seen in the history of science fiction or film ever. The scenes are choppy, the acting is second rate at best; I can see why this movie never went to the theatres, it would have lost the company millions. What was the budget of this thing, a $1.00? The plot is synonymous with a 1960 black and white sci-fi monster flick. If that's your objective for some random violent and blood/sex flick, I'd recommend Starship Troopers II. Otherwise save your money on the rental or purchase and let the original be the measurement of what Starship Troopers is.
