<div class="IPBDescription">Didn't find any topic so I opened one</div> Hi guys. I know that Starship Troopers isn't very similar to NS but I'm a big fan of it! Post your comments about the movies or the game wich is gonna be realeased next year.
I personally think that the first movie was the best, because it's story was perfect and the actors were great (most of them made career with it like Anthony Ruviviar, who's playing "Carlos Nieto" in the TV Show "Third Watch").
The 2nd movie sucked tough! It's story was boring, the actors unknown and you couldn't get used to them. And last but not least it was made with less equipment. I also didn't like the weapons (they were some sorta laser guns or something like that and their sound was like ****). I really missed the Morita from the 1st movie.
I'm proud that my Squad (I'm the leader) is the only one in the (german) NS community (according to my researches) with the name "Roughnecks" =)

ITS A BOOK!
and a very good one at that.
/me goes back to grumbling about today's youth
You know, less action and more dialogues.
@CrystalSnake : yap you're right. Hopefully the 3rd part of the movies'll become good :/
I actualy like SSTroopers (the first moovie) for what it is, a brainless action flick.
I just wish they had kept the friken power armour.

Jeah, they dropped those because they went overbudget. It was either power armor or cool looking bugs. Offcourse they chose for the bugs. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I mean the animators who did the movement stuff for Jurassic Park worked on that film!

While the Sequal is definatly low buget (the effects show that, TV class) I thought the story was quite good. Sure the acting still sucked, but the story was better.

Since you're new to English, I'll go ahead and tell you that:
1) A "sequal" is a bastardization (wrong spelling) of a sequel. There was a sequel to the SST movie.
2) EEK's comment was a comment on the SST movie. He said that he did not enjoy the acting of the actors in the movie.

Get used to it, it's all he does.
I liked the movie, but I havn't been able to read the book yet.
If you're looking at SST for story or acting abilities.....you're watching the wrong movie. That's like saying The Shawshank Redemption is a bad movie cause the comedy in it sucks or something; it's just not that kind of movie. Appreciate it for the action, and criticize that, but don't criticize the movie for lacking something that most likely the director was never aiming for. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

lol? I am not stupid and my english is well..you don't have to translate this..if you just wanna make some posts to get up to the next forum level post "normal" replys.
Good book (minus the obligatory Heinlein RANTZ0R in the middle about child psychologists - i mean, come on, there was no need for that to be in the book at all)
Good film. Verhoeven took the principles, and managed to say something new with them, without loosing the core of the original (even if i did want to see the proper Powered armour)
Sequel? - me fears the sequel.
CGI Series... ermm... I couldn't watch it. not cos of plot, but because the animation was utterly dire. what with the characters folding over like paper when they ran...
Manga Series/film - Me Wanty. but its gold dust... maybe i should PM infinitum. he may know where to get it.
and heres the doozy:
Tabletop Battlegame -
<a href='http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/miniature/series.php?qsSeries=26' target='_blank'>Starship Troopers by Mongoose Publishing</a>. Multiposable plastics (for both MI and Bugs) based on the appearence of the CGI series primarily. promises armies for Skinnies, and maybe other alien races.
I dunno about anyone else, but the action is the main reason I hate this movie. It's choppy and hideously boring. Six people standing in a circle around a dancing bug (albeit a very pretty dancing bug) shooting it as it slowly dies never struck me as fast paced blood pumping action.
The sequel wasn't the greatest on the budget theme, as the special effects really were not very good.
CGI, I did enjoy some of the more thought provoking episodes, although the animations were kind of stiff at times. I did enjoy the alien animations, those I thought were very good.
The book, well I read through most of it, I do say it was very good, but yes the child psychologist part could have been left out and nothing would have been missed.
Never seen nor heard of the manga.
I used my $20 for beer money.
Starship Troopers wasn't that bad <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It's one of my favorite movies and it's animations are cool =)
*vomits all over self thinking about it
They didnt even have enough money for squibs or to fire blanks or anything from their guns. It was like they were shining a blue LED light on and off.
the RTS for starship troopers way back was decent but it had some "bugs" (yea yea silly joke) in it.
The new one looks like it has potential.
On a side note.
Considering that you can have 200 (tweakable to 260) player servers in HL2.
I could see a cool SST mod lol.
BUG SWARM!!
The following will never happen but
lol imagine 100 hungry Oni charging for marine start. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
