bheadher I am firmly convinced that these producers really don't like science fiction at all...the first incarnation was a complete disrespect to a Master Author, having almost no relationship to the book. Now they further trash a potentially excellent story line with disrespect for the viewers. No coherent dialog in this movie, and not much noticeable acting either. It begins with a battle in total darkness, with a sandstorm to add to the confusion. Then someone begins shouting incoherent orders...no evidence of discipline at all, just a rowdy free for all with a zillion bugs milling around in the sandstorm. It frankly goes down hill from there. Of course two minutes in you were assured this movie was at the bottom of its creative life anyway.If you are looking for interesting entertainment, this one ain't it!

Fluke_Skywalker 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.

James Jenkins You know what despite some 'shoddy' parts I think it was good. I mean it was a low budget film and to be honest I enjoyed it. I mean what are you expecting for $7,000,000 avengers had $220,000,000 to play with. With that budget this is not going to attract the worlds best actors and animators nor have the best effects but it was good. Satirical scenes in it too yet I think some actors shone though. And they found ways of making 'the bugs' a far better threat to human kind thus maybe more menacing. Overall you have to take this as a B movie and for a B movie it's damn good so what if the effects look like they were on cheaper software at least they didn't reuse footage the whole time.

hoangbk2008 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
