follow-up to his infamous 1995 Showgirls, is painfully obvious from
the start: this is not Oscar bait. The acting is wooden, especially
from lead actor Casper Van Dien. Denise Richards' performance is also
suspect, playing aspiring pilot Carmen Ibanez. The only actors that
stand out are the steady veterans Clancy Brown and Michael Ironside.
What Starship Troopers is, though, is satire at its best, with
Verhoeven masterfully weaving social commentary and potshots
throughout the film.
But the novel he was adapting wasn't satire, and the social commentary
was different. Quite frankly, I didn't care for the movie. I thought
the potshots he took were against easy targets. For that reason, I've
seen the movie once and never revisted it and had no interest in the
sequel.
