ST2 Review

Pretty much as expected

QuoteIt's not as ridiculously violent as the original, but it's arguably more disgusting. Good job Tippett. Plus there are some boobs, which I know are popular.

QuoteI would say this is a well above average straight to video sequel, but not on the level of a real sequel. So if you can get into that, have at it

So not too shabby at all then

I got my hands on this one. Straight to DVD as said previously. Well what can I say. Shit story. Terrible script. Some nudity. Awful acting. Not one ounce of the sarcasm and humor found in the first movie. Splatter - yes.

Do you have to see it ... nope. You haven't missed a thing.

0 out of 10 :whistle:

All they do now is re release old films which could make some more revenue for the story! A bit like MIB II Which was was also alot crapper that the first one o well some sequels are good but most are crap. Maybe one day some sequels will learn from ones which have already make the vital mistake of not listening to what the consumer actuallly wants

Yeah i rented it out the day it came out which was 10th May i almost turned it off after 5 minutes of watching it. Everything was so crap they must have had such a small budget. Though every shop ive been in is selling it on dvd and video im sure they will rake it in, and im sure there will be a lot of them being traded back in for something else. So dont even rent it it aint worth the money cant believe they screwed up something that i thought was quite good in the the first one.

Though the women who gets naked was a 9 1/2

That's a real shame, as I hoped the film would go for the same black humour style of the original. Although I'll probably still rent it out of morbid curiosity

And yes my morbid curiosity did endeed get the better of me. And yes compaired to the original it was a very poor sequel. Had Starship Troopers The Original never existed it might have looked a little better. But as it is, while it was watchable, it was a big disappointment. The director can't direct and the actors can't act. And the studio obvioulsy didn't give a monkeys about either the original story of the fans they were ripping off. Well they have my Â£3.75 now and I hope they choke on it.
