Wonderful Movie

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This movie had to have the worst plot I have ever seen and some of the most ignorant individuals and their rolls

This movie and Starship Troopers followed the book very closely. However in the book Rico's parents were killed in the first movie. In the book Rico's father lived and joined the mobile infantry to help fight the bugs. The term see you on the bounce in marauder is used throughout the book. I know certain reviewers were very critical about the script and the actors and stated they just scraped off them off the street. Some questioned why others from the original movie were not in marauder. Well dizzy got killed off, Zim was doing highlander and Carmen Ibanez was a bond girl playing Dr. Christmas Jones with Pierce Brosnan. The actors in marauder are professional and the script was more than adequate. Some people were turned off by the religious aspect of the movie. But how else can you explain Anoke's relationship with the bugs and the brain bug from planet p.

I really enjoyed the first film. The second, well, after the second you know that the third one will suck big time. Take a look for yourself. Extremely low budget, ridiculous story, bad acting, ugly CGI... Now, Edward Neumeier who wrote all Robocop films, including TV series and more, brought us this despicable gem, which was... spiced with Christianity... wtf? Casper Van Dien, who is still appearing in these straight to DVD film, you can see that his acting career has failed. None of the actors did a good job, even Amanda Donohoe, she was just there for a tough chick commander role. There's nothing special to say about this film... really nothing, except that pretty much liked the part where chosen solders are launched in their "Marauder" armors and kicking the s**t out of bugs. Other things... nothing.For the end, the ugly thing - the Christianity. I don't understand... that was unnecessary in this film. Let alone in some futuristic film. There is a God in universe, we must marry in church, blah blah... That really irritated me. We also had a conflict between theist and atheist and in the end, the theist wins... whoopee! But, the theist chick was hot... so, I wasn't that irritated. So, 59% of the film comes down that there is a God in space... I really don't recommend this film to anyone. Well, if you are a Christian, you'll love it. Maybe.

I loved the first movie, but the two sequels were a criminal waste of film. The biggest problem as noted by other reviewers is that these two sequels have strayed so far from the vision of Robert Heinlein. There were a few moments (some of the action sequences) in the 3rd movie which were enjoyable. However, the religious overtones that permeated throughout the movie (particularly toward the end) pretty much destroyed this movie. Unfortunately I wasted good money purchasing the movie. However, I no longer own the movie, because I decided that since I have no intention of ever watching it again there was no reason to rob my trash receptacle of its rightful property.
