...suffers from an egregiously low-rent vibe that effectively distances it from Paul Verhoeven's comparitively masterful 1997 effort.

There are some scenes that will definitely turn your tummy, so if you're squeamish you might want to save this DVD till after the dinner hour.

This is a franchise that deserved better than a straight-to-video sequel . . .

Likely to put off fans of the original, pleasing only those who can reap high entertainment value from the bare-bones ingredients of gore, boobs, and bug-splatter.

Isn't Verhoeven's original, but it's still a pleasing second coming for the bug squashers

Audience Reviews for Starship Troopers 2 - Hero of the Federation

Starship Troopers 2 is an awful sequel to a great film. Though the first Starship Troopers wasn't a masterpiece, the film was still a memorable, action packed sci-fi horror flick with plenty of effective action and gore. This direct to DVD title really doesn't hold up. This is a poorly written film with an awful cast.

Someone decided to take SST and try to turn it into "Alien/Aliens3", a SciFi thriller/suspense/horror.Not exactly a bad idea, but the fact that the story almost feels parallel to an already existing film calls for some pretty remarkable execution to make itself credible. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet those
