Virag's Movie Reviews: Starship Troopers 2 (2004)

They key to a Starship Troopers flick is not Ed Neumeier--or Heinlein--unfortunately.  Paul Verhoeven's joyous asshole persona, along with a bit of money, is the key, and Starship Troopers 2:Hero of the Federation proves it.  Without Verhoeven--and no money--all you get is what is essentially a rejected episode of Babylon 5--though if you are lucky to have the luminous Sandrine Holt in your movie, not making your flick all about Sandrine Holt doing something, anything, for 90 minutes means you are the biggest asshole who ever lived.
