Five college guys with extremely weird attitudes towards comedy get together and create a total classic! Witty, and just generally brilliant. When you consider that this entire thing was put together for a measly 1.2 million (according to the DVD, IMDb says 3 mil), you start to wonder what the hell they could of done with a few more? Can you imagine these guys with the sort of budget Harry Potter is used to? It probably wouldn't be the same... The cheesy gags and excellent editing bring this thing home, but the fantastic script and killer performances from the Broken Lizard team set it all up for a great film. Anyone with a few hours to spare and nothing to do, get a few beers and watch this thing, MEOW!

Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation
(2004 Video)
Insulting!
24 March 2005
This weak excuse for a film insulted the good name of Starship Troopers. Not only does it have very little to do with the book, but it's plot is stupid as well. Good performances by the actor/actresses can't get past the pointlessly excessive violence and several frankly disturbing video sequences. This film has none of the style or comic timing of the first, just an unnecessary amount of murder and worrying sections. I'm a teenager and I thought this was over-violent for crying out loud!! What happened to the direction and writing teams of the original anyway? Why is the audience forced to endure this piece of trash. Many people, like myself, probably only saw this film because of the brilliance and originality of the first, but are instead subjected to this low rubbish. Yet another unneeded sequel,thank you so much Hollwood!!
