Is a explanation really necessary?  The first Starship Troopers was uber cool.  There were legions of bugs that actually looked like they were there, and not just inserted in.  There was tons of blood and gore which adds an extra coat of coolness to every battle scene.  Plus there were those hilarius menu thingys.   "Would you like to know more?"  

While ST2 was a completely differnt movie.  I was expecting the awsome bug blasting fest type feel from the first movie, but what do I get?  A stupid "suspenseful" alien movie...  If it were part of the Aliens series the stuff in this movie might have been a little more acceptable, but this is Starship Troopers we are talking about here.  The sequel to the awsome movie that I fell in love with years ago is total crap!!!

Plus, what the hell is up with all the stupid fog?, And in the second scene of the movie when the troopers are fighting off a bunch of bugs it seems like no one even notices that they are being attacked half the time.  They are all just chattering away while firing a few shots here or there.  In the first movie that would never fly.  Doesnt anyone remember how many shots it took to kill a bug in the first movie?,  A hell of alot thats how many!!

I didn't care for the original Starship Troopers movie. I thought it was campy sci-fi meets Beverly Hills 90210. I doubt the second movie, no matter how different it is from the first, could possibly be good enough to completely erase the first movie from my mind.

I hated the first  one so very much.   Oh how how I hated it .
I loved the book as a young teen, and to see it so badly butchered really hurt,.   Overall, I think making a movie purposely campy  is a mistake almost always.

The first one was so bad (why must they do this to Heinlein?) I saw no reason to even acknowledge the existence of the second.

What was so crappy about it?

[Fearless Freep]

Well, everyone's entitled to an opinion here; I tend to go easier on "Omega Doom" and "Nemesis" then most :)

Why I disliked "ST"

1) I read the book
2) Replaced the cool armored gorilla suits and heavy weaponry with exposed infantry with small machine guns.
3) The strong political commentary on facism in the book was replaced by over-the-top pardoy that was just shy of Leslie Nielson doing the news bits
4) Combat tactics reduced to a bunch of people running up and shooting; as a species, we are doomed.
5) "Coming of age in the world" replaced with "Buggy Hills 90210" sappy sopa opera

What Freep said.

[maria paula]

well, what can u expect from somebody who  dared to direct one of the worse movie ever made "showgilrs".
anyway the only   two cool things about the film was that  michael ironside, always playing the same role in each film he does,  and Jake Busey were  in there,and whats  the only cool thing about Jake Busey?...............  his father.

[odinn7]

Hey, how can you call Showgirls one of the worst movies ever made? That was one of the funniest comedies I have ever seen!

[maria paula]

indeed,  but i had much more fun with "coyote ugly", im still wondering what kind of effort John Goodman had to do to be able to contain his guffaw while he was acting in such nonsense film.

I like STARSHIP TROOPERS a lot, but have yet to see the sequel.

I thought Showgirls was boring actually. The only thing funny about it in my opinion is catching it on TV (when the censors add badly drawn cgi clothes on the naked strippers). It's funny to see them try and pass that garbage off as "normal." But even that stops being funny after 5 or 10 minutes.
