I own the complete DVD set.

[vyper]

Expectations: It'll blow. Just like the second.

[Aardwolf]

On the other hand, there are some who say the FIRST was a bad movie.

On the other hand, there are some who say the FIRST was a bad movie.

You called?

[Nuke]

it sucked

Everyone is saying that, but without exmaples.

the lack of starships perhaps. the deployment scenes were onbe of the best parts of the original st, and they were totally absent. it was also less epic. also the first movie had better characters. st2 lacks those things.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

* Androgeos Exeunt comes out of the closet to say...

They should've stopped after doing the first one.

[Mefustae]

also the first movie had better characters. st2 lacks those things.

And that's really saying something, considering that each and every character in Starship Troopers was wholly unlikeable.

Well, except Michael Ironside as Lt. Rasczak. He was so badass it's a wonder the movie didn't explode.

[Nuke]

frankly when i first heard of the movie and saw the previews, i thought starship troopers was gonna suck, horribly. just the title of it was just way too stupid and generic for my tastes. then i saw it and the movie totally kicked ass.

[Mefustae]

It's like they filmed an ass getting kicked for 80 hours, folded the film in on itself until it was only 2 hours long, and sent the result to the threatres.

I watched 3 mins of the 2nd film before adopting the fetal position and crying myself to sleep. I didn't like the plot, soundtrack, actors / acting (lack of), sets or production. The book rocked for something that was written in the 50's. ST1 was pleasing and the series equally if not moreso. I'm expecting 3 to be better than 2 but not by much. I hope i'm wrong though.

Hilarity ensues.

[Janos]

It's mostly utter ****, but the religion parody is hilarious. Especially the last few minutes. Otherwise, it's forgettable but waaaay better than ST2 which wasn't forgettable, only trauma-inducing.

[Stormkeeper]

It is a point to note that I loved the first movie, but never knew the next to existed till I read this thread.

Holy crap, I think I actually saw some Marauder suits there.

[Colonol Dekker]

Well it is the sub heading... Starship Troopers: MArauder

[Janos]

OK GODDAMNIT.

HERE IS THE MOVIE. SPOIL IT IF YOU WANT TO. THERE'S NOTHING INTERESTING ANYWAYS:

Spoiler:

Rico and his bunch of idiots are hanging around in some base. Something happens and people die and bugs attack and death and complete disaster. An intelligence officer (black) blah blah blah blah. court martial blah blah blah, Sky Marshal and his bunch of ****ing idiots somehow get stranded somewhere. By this point I am already drunk. The movie lags.

Ok then something happens, I am not quite sure what, but the Sky Marshal & Co. are in desert and they
are
being
STALKEEEEEEEEEEED
by the bugs. This is where the religious **** kicks in and it is just painful. I decide to drink more. it is the only way this movie is so far watchable. but oh no the intelligence is TELEKINESIS AND MIND CONTROL keeping the population in chekc lies and lies and damned lies

Rico is executed, but pranked! no he is not, he is taken to the MARAUDER program. Apparently fake executions are something our roughneck just grunts at. Nudity ensues, but we only see tits. So if you are looking at this for gay porn, don't bother. Lack of erect penises etc. Whatever. This is just ****ing boring. Drink more.

Well the idiots are still in desert, babbling about religious crap, bugs kinda attack them, blah blah blah. They finally reach some point and sky marshal goes ape****. Brainsucking ensues. Oh my god.

Well now, at the very last moment, the MARAUDERs, Rico leading the way of course, descend from heaven they just seriously magically find these apparently important people and send like 5 dudes to save them after what is either weeks or hours because the movie is not very clear on this what the ****. The last five minutes are a potpurri of religious fervour, prayer and robots killing bugs. But it's anticlimatic necause it just ends. Yeah the sky marshal and pretty much everyone is dead. Dead dead dead. Except the two girls in sky marshal's group, they survive by chanting prayers. Brainbug dies. Everyone leaves. Some propaganda. End. I am wasted.

there

still better than ST2 but that's pretty much the same as gonorrhea being better than syphilis.

[Colonol Dekker]

I knew i shouldn't read the spoiler............

But i did, and now i'm depressed 

[Stormkeeper]

I dl'd the movie in an hour and a half.

[neo_hermes]

i'm glad i didn't watch the 2nd film...saves me brain cells that i'm trying to keep.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

All I did was highlight the text without reading it. I'm feeling depressed now.
