Not No. 2: Hero of the Federation, or No. 3: Marauder.

The first movie:

I love Starship Troopers! 8/10. I'm a big Sci-Fi fan, and having Denise Richards in it was icing on the cake.

It's one of those cheesy movies that you just love to love. You can rewatch it again and again. 9/10.

Starship 1: 3/5. Good effects and setting/universe, but the plot is med-core.

Starship 2: 2/5. Budget is worse, and so is the plot, but still watchable.

The first movie I thought was amazing, especially the music score. If it weren't for the crappy acting it would be one of the best science fiction movies ever.

Y'know I often wonder....the first movie was a huge success and I believe won awards for its visual effects....how did it get such crappy sequels?

sure its campy and cheesy as hell. sure its just an action flick. still, it does have more to it than meets the eye with some really funny propaganda. its fun and it works in its own way.

3/10. One of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. Not even good by action movie standards.

5/10.. Guilty pleasure to watch.. But it completely ruined the plotline from the book.. I mean they got some of the characters names right, and they were facing arachnids.. But thats about it.

8/10. The campiness was what made it so enjoyable, plus it had some fairly awesome, memorable action sequences and amusing satire. I haven't read the book, but I tend to judge these things separately anyways.

It was a great sci-fi cult hit. Plus, it's got Neil Patrick Harris, which gives it extra win.

6/10

Nice use of satire, although maybe a bit TOO obvious.

The musical score was ****ing badass. The musical score during the dropship squence was just ****ing awesome.

Also to the movie's credit, the satire was ****ing prophetic. The movie was made not that long ago. In the years afterwards, we've seen an attack by Muslims, a ****ed up war campaign in the middle east, and an escalation to the point of many people practically declaring a "war on Islam". I know that Verhoeven wasn't saying anything about that, because he couldn't possibly have known. But I'll be damned if Verhoeven wasn't right in one aspect: the more that things change, the more they stay EXACTLY the ****ing same.

I want to love the HELL out of that movie. It had great action, great gore, great boobs, and it was smarter than a hell of a lot of people give it credit for. But ultimately, it's just a guilty pleasure, and for only one reason. The character development scenes were HORRIBLE. The high school drama aspect was so ridiculously awful that it tainted the awesomeness of everything good that happened in the movie. That crap was seriously cringe-inducing, and I don't cringe often. And I've seen a lot of movies far worse than this.

I WANT to love Starship Troopers, but I simply CAN'T. It has so much going for it, but the bad parts seriously just ruin the good parts.
