Review of Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004) by Kurt B — 11 Jan 2010

The first thing taken into consideration before watching the film for me was the budget. Having only $7,000,000 compared to the original which was $100,000,000 so I wasn?t expecting anything like the first one anyway. It was a pity not to see Clancy Brown reprise his role as Lt. Jean Rasczak as was rumoured as I think this would have added an extra element to the film having a reoccurring character and might have made it seem more of an official sequel.

Aside from that I think they had the right idea to film a more ?horror? version of the bug attacks as I think it is a great way to manage their budget and builds on the idea of the bugs becoming smarter like with the capture of the Brain Bug at the end of the first film.
