The trailer was very funny and interesting ideas but the film feels very long and somewhat awkward. I really liked the trailer, this might have worked well as an episode of a series. A+ for effort and C for watchability.

this is one of the most horrifying looks for a movie monster ever presented. The vision of a burn victim wearing a stiff human mask and wig. I once saw a documentary about a poor soul whose face had been burned leaving him without many facial features left, just something of a smooth distorted visage only capable of conveying a faint echo of the humanity within the man. A special effects artist crafted a realistic mask that resembled the burned man's face before his misfortune. The mask allowed him to go to the store and run errands around town without being subjected to the screams of terrified children or the piteous stares of his former friends. I thought about Zeke the plumber, a war hero who served his country in the humid hell of the South Pacific only to lose the sense of smell that might have prevented his disfigurement from a gas leak set ablaze. After returning to his duties as plumber and maintenance man at the children's camp he was continuously subjected to the ungrateful children of privileged background leer at his distorted state. Being of meager means he could only obtain a crude mask and wig that might let Zeke regain some of his humanity, or at least the children might not fear him...might not scream and flee at the sight of him... That sort of scorn, rage and dehumainization can created a powerful curse... a curse that lives on in the nightmares of the children of Camp Anawana.

people always complain about sequels, one of the main complaints is sequels tend to be a rehashing of the same material or the same story except bigger and worse... like MIB2 Starship Troopers 2 feels like it is part of the same universe as part 1... but in a small, cramped, disgusting corner of that universe I think if this film was marketed differently if would have been better received.. it should have been titled "Starship Troopers: The Hero of the Republic" as it doesn't advance the story presented in the first outing.

Starship Troopers 3 Marauder plays more like a true sequel Forget about the world that exists outside this film, and enjoy it on it's own merits... pretend it's called "Space Soldiers" and you'll discover it's a fantastic, tense, scary with amazing creature designs that will give you the creeps...
