The bugs are back in this straight-to-DVD third entry in the Starship Troopers film series, this time with Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) back in the lead after being absent from the first follow up, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation. Also back is Edward Neumeier, the writer of the original, who takes on the directing reigns with this action-packed installment. Star Trek Enterprise's Jolene Blaylock co-stars in the Stage 6 Films production. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Granted the special effects are sharp on occasion, but "Marauder" is barely a worthwhile viewing experience...
The tone is again that of straight-faced camp and over-the-top humor. It is like the first movie a war movie, but with the Nazis as the heroes this time round.
Can be recommended more enthusiastically than most bargain-basement genre exercises.
For all its surprising little merits, Starship Troopers 3 still works as a piece of cheesy B-grade cinema fun.
Demonstrates Neumeier's ambition, but this budget-constrained rush job winds up not much more politically biting than a Mad magazine spread. [Blu-Ray]
...a misfire of near epic proportions...
While a marked improvement over the utter lameness of Troopers 2, Marauder tries too hard to telegraph its satirical tone...
The movie ends up looking clumsy and amateurish. (Blu-ray Edition)
There's not an ounce of charm, delight, tension, suspense, excitement, fright, magic, or wonder in the whole affair.
This movie was so corny i enjoyed it. I have no idea what the point of it was if there was a point. But they did get in the random nude scene like the first one!!

Third entry in the Starship Trooper franchise is an improvement over the second film, but it's still a mediocre sci-fi horror offering. Casper Van Dien returns in the role he played in the first film. Though the film still has a straight to DVD feel to it, and it does have some good moments, the film isn't good. The
