Starship Troopers 3
Starship Troopers 3 will be in theaters across Japan on July 19th and Rico was in town doing the rounds of promotions. Found the previous ones entertaining and will be looking forward to this one. Isn't it about time they revive RoboCop again?

I absolutely loved the first one, but the second one was horrible... I am not sure about the third one, but i heard it is going straight to DVD in North America

Ah, if no theater release then its because they knew that made a crap movie - lucky for the Japanese then (not).

starship troopers 2 was straight to dvd too that was an ok movie
if only they put Casper Van Dien in that movie to but part 3 looks promising

No wonder I never heard of ST2 screening in the cinema

Same here: 1st one was great, 2nd one sucked, I think I will still watch the 3rd one. The trailer looked quite good.

Didn't like the first, didn't watch the second, won't watch this one. Loved the book but I wish they'd leave it alone

loved the first.. 2nd is canned spam..>_<
this one.. I have hopes.. not high hopes though.. hopefully i'll be impressed..
but truly they need to redo thos one and be closer to the book with power armour and all, like the rough neck cartoon show.. heard that was good.. haven't seen it though..

I liked the Rough Neck cartoon. It was entertaining, and had a compelling enough story to have me tuning in regularly.

The third one!? I didn't even know there had been a second one. ^_^;
Back to the grind
there was a second one?when was this?must have been a load of crap
Uncharted 2 Assassin
Same here saw the 1st but never even knew there was a 2nd. Wonder if it was a direct to DVD movie? I remember when I saw the first one my friend made a good point. Why did they even go down to that planet when they could have just nuked them all.

i love the first one but didn't catch the second one. the sequel is a straight to DVD release I believe.
i used to watch the 3D animated cartoon as well. ^^;

Better not expect much from this one, the first was ok, the second it's only the name, from the video, the 3rd special effects seem to be worst than a video game.

Paul Verhoeven's adaptation made Robert A. Heinlein roll in his grave. I prefer Sunrise's take on Starship Troopers, despite being more into character development than action.

yea, i wish they had read the book before the first movie was made. what's a mobile infantry without mobile suits?
Student/Freelance Programmer
I would hate to see any movie you guys produce, due to their budget in the first film, there was no way they could make the mobile suits as described in the book(I would have loved to see the jet-pack landings during drops, oh and the K-9 units!). That being said, the story in the film did stray miles away from the one in the book.
Student
There were no suits in the first film because it wasn't even a Starship Troopers film to begin with. The film was written, then shortly before production someone noticed "hey, alien bugs and marines. This is a bit like Starship Troopers!". A quick rights acquisition later, followed by a name change here and there, and that's the film.
The anime, though keeping the powered armour (and they look pretty good, too), is unfortunately awful. Not really worth watching, even if you're a big fan of the book.

how very true, though it wouldve been nice if the Sunrise version stuck with a filipino protagonist too.

been awhile since i read the book, but Rico came from Brazil(?) but his ancestry is Filipino which we learn in a roundabout way at the end of the book.
I'd think he'd be a bit on the brownish side, with black hair, but would he look Filipino or a mix?

all i know is that he spoke some Tagalog and name-dropped Magsaysay (a former phil. president) when he was talking about names of new ships. but yeah, he's from Buenos Aires

Robocop will be in theaters in 2010...

Starship Troopers 3 is called Marauder after the power suits they wear in the book, but when I first saw the trailers I didn't see them anywhere, I'm afraid this film is gonna suck.
The second film had so much potential too but was so terribly executed *sigh*
Just tell me when Dark Knight is out.

i didn't even know there was a second one. oh well, at least this one has the powered armor suits in it. might be worth a download
Student
the second one was never released in theater, it went straight to VHS and DvD, the third one is going straight to DvD, i am not sure how good it will be, I will still watch it

Robocop... really went downhill at part 3. Practically became a family movie. Didn't watch enough of the tv series to be able judge, but it didn't seem to good. But, would you prefer a remake or a continuation of the story, Sir Danny?
Personally, I wish they'd make a Robocop vs Terminator movie, HAHAHAHA!

Was at this year's WonderCon and got to clips of the film. Really looks like a Sci-Fi Channel original rather than a Hollywood movie. :p

Never watched no.2 but heard it was terrible. Believe Rico wasn't in there either. Now that they've brought him back, maybe it'll regain some of the original. Still, the bugs move incredibly crappy in this trailer...

Wow, there's Starship Trooper 3 and Rico is back in it? 2 was pretty lame, wasn't really much of an action flick -_-
1st part of the trailer's pretty funny...same with the other guys here loved the roughneck cartoon..and i didnt know that there was a 2nd movie too...hope this is good enough to watch

link to the second movie, as you can see the rating 3.5/10, again 10 not 5 lol
ST2 is pure garbage, saw it on cable, it was wtf did I spend abt 2hrs watching that crap.
Dun think I m even going to be bothered with ST3 if its another straight to DVD.
ST1 is ok, the bugs are the main attraction, the acting sux.
I like the ST book and the animated series alot more though.

there was a 2???
Student
Lol...yeah really? there was a 2?

ahahaha! They finally brought back the Johnny Rico character! It's about time! Too bad Denise Richards and Patrick (Doogie Howser) didn't come back as well.

Low budget special effects seem to bother me ^^;
I absolutely loved the first one, and like others, had no idea there was even a second one. I'm not sure if I'll ever watch this third version, since straight to DVD movies are never on my buy list.
Hopefully Rico is back because the script is good, and not because he needs the money.

The graphics don't really bother me so long as they don't look overly cheap. Having Rico back will make this film.

I heard the 2nd one was pants but at least the trailer got the propaganda feel of the first film, at least for the first but. But I'll probably miss.
The effects look really cheap and I doubt they'll put in the WAY OTT violence which verhoven was known for.

I liked the first movie, it was a nice fast-paced sci-fi action film and it did retain enough elements to also offer a surprising criticism on society, fascisms and such themes...
Student
Didn´t liked the first, didn´t know it had a sequel, so i don´t care for this one.

There was a second one? Now there's a third?!
Well I never...

I liked the first filmed, the second one was... Well... Different... I think I'll give the third one a try...

Starship Troopers 3....omg! 1st one wasn't bad as it had a decent budget and the action was cool. Never saw the 2nd - didn't have much of a budget hence it used the night a bit, less sets to build! The 3rd look intriguing but I guess it'll be a straight to DVD movie,even with Mr Rico.
