So way back I saw Storm Ship Troopers when it came out. It was okay if you took it as a sorta parody. Watched it again last night. About the same reaction.
Its not a movie I’d watch on a regular basis, but once every decade or so its a tolerable way to be mildly entertained.
So, how do 2 and 3 compare?
Please no unboxed spoilers. Or at least “major ones”
If so, neither of the sequels were very good, I thought. Though the third one was at least somewhat entertaining, as Casper Van Dien reprises his role from pt 1.
No, ‘this sucks donkey balls compared to the first one’ pretty closely approximates my thoughts at the time. Part 3 might be worth a watch (if you are a Johnny Rico fan), but part 2 is Mortal Kombat Annihilation levels of bad.
If you need closure, just Wikipedia the films.
Thanks folks. Good to know this stuff going it. Though I DO like the occasional “man thats so bad its entertaining” film…I will at least make sure nobody else suffers while I watch it.
One question though. Do 2 and 3 at least have some plot continuity with each other and the 1st one?
Or in other words, does it all come together as one big sucky movie at least or is it 3 sucky movies that are sorta related?
To be honest, I kind of liked all the Starship Trooper movies
STT2 is very different from the other two - more like a horror/suspense kind of movie than that gung-ho action style of the others. It is no gem of the cinema, but it’s different enough in style that you might want to give it a try if you like sci-fi bugs. It’s certainly better than anything the SyFy channel has put out, though that’s about as low as the bar can go.
