2004's "Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation" was discovered by accident at a street DVD rental store, and I suspected it was a fake, because I had not heard any news about a sequel to Starship Troopers! I was eager to take it home and have a look. I'm sure it's a genuine sequel to "Starship Troopers", but at the same time I'm also sure it's the worst sequel I've ever seen. . Strictly speaking, this "Hero of the Federation" is just a "fan movie", the director has changed, and the original star is not there. It only tells the war between a space station squad fighter and the Zerg, because it seems thin in the story, It's basically a "TV show".
Because of my disappointment with "Hero of the Federation", I didn't expect that in 2008, "Starship Troopers 3: Predator" would be filmed so undeterredly, hehe.
In this latest sequel, The Predators, the big guy Casper Van Dien skips Sequel 2 and is back! Continue to play Captain Rico of the Marine Corps, which is why I look forward to it. You must know that I like "Starship Troopers", and Rico's emotional line also accounts for a strong part. I've titled this article "A Little Level Back", in large part because of the re-emergence of Caspar van Dien. It's just that Denise Richards, the female battleship pilot in Starship 1, didn't come back and I feel a little sorry. Although there is also a female captain in "The Predator", I can see from the cast that she does not seem to be the first love of Rico in the first part.
Having said that, I've always wondered why Starship Troopers was the best and most talked about movie of 1997, why is its sequel so perfunctory? If you increase investment and write a good script, you can make a classic series at all? "The Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars" can't be compared to us. We won't lose to "The Bourne" if we shoot it well, right? !
The two sequels were only released on video tapes, and did not appear in the movie theaters, but only in video rental stores. This in itself is also not optimistic about the investors. Perhaps because of this, the male and female protagonists in the film have never been popular.
The female lead Denise Richards is better, and later also starred in "007: Black Sun Crisis" and became a "Bond Girl", but the real female lead in that movie was the famous Sophie Marceau, Denise was completely submerged under the dazzling aura of Sophie Marceau, and no one noticed.
And my male lead Kasper Van Dien is even more low-key. To say that his small face is handsome enough, why has he not been attracting attention? I searched and it seems that he is shooting TV series. ...
There are some details in the movie that are actually quite interesting. For example, on the TV news, the supreme governor of the earth dances with a group of dancers and inspires people in the form of popular songs. The lyrics are his policy program. The line is also completely in the style of today's entertainment stars, and a lot of fans are signing and screaming. This special setting is really unique and worth mentioning!
At the end of the movie, the war is not over yet, and the soldiers put on the mecha, which has the feeling of Gundam in Japanese anime, huh, will there be a "Starship Troopers 4"?
