"Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation" is unlike your typical sequel to a big budget sci-fi action film. It is not surprising that this film is released 6 1/2 years after the original one(the first film was released in November 1997). However, I will not say that I was ecstatic about hearing about a sequel to one of my favorite movies of all time. I was much disappointed that none of the lead characters from the first film did not return for this sequel(if they would ever). Getting pass it, the film picks up after the first film,with a whole new gang of troopers fighting the monstrous alien bugs. You would think this movie would just be like the first "Starship Troopers:" excessive gore, gratuitous nudity and romantic subplots, but it is hardly any reflection on the first film. This film is darker in it's tone and nature. I went into watching this movie with a open mind, because I knew it would not be better than the first "Starship Troopers." One thing I did like in this movie is the twist. I was not expecting that to happen. I'm not gonna say anything else because I don't want to ruin anything. Anyway rent it or watch it on t.v.
