Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Granted the special effects are sharp on occasion, but "Marauder" is barely a worthwhile viewing experience... Feb 6, 2011 Full Review James O'Ehley Sci-Fi Movie Page The tone is again that of straight-faced camp and over-the-top humor. It is like the first movie a war movie, but with the Nazis as the heroes this time round. Oct 13, 2008 Full Review Bryant Frazer Film Freak Central Can be recommended more enthusiastically than most bargain-basement genre exercises. Rated: B- Sep 25, 2008 Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet For all its surprising little merits, Starship Troopers 3 still works as a piece of cheesy B-grade cinema fun. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 19, 2008 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a misfire of near epic proportions...

Alexander O So bad, it's good… Yet, so many missed opportunities. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Marquarius M this is the best movie I watched in my life the first movie Awesome and third is amazing The Stasia trooper movie is going to talk to your best science fiction action movie I ever watched my life Starship Trooper Movie has the best action best cinnamon photography best costume design. The best of the robot suits is so freaking awesome I have a really good time enjoying this movie. This movie came out in 2008. I was like seven years old and this movie came out so this is very very good for all fans. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Taznim J A hood classic! Would recommend if you are a fan of the first 2 despite it not being that good! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Brian C If you've read the Heinlein book. There is a bit of redemption here. While it doesn't really connect with the book. It does give you the sense that some of the people in charge may have read it at some point. Unlike that hack, Paul Verhoeven. The third movie also redeems the second film slightly. I enjoyed it and the use of real guns and a world record for most blanks fired gave a sense of legitimacy to the fighting verses those stupid flash bulbs in the second movie. Entertaining. Not groundbreaking. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Matt G Better then Starship Troopers 2, but thats not a high bar. Only watched it for Jolene Blalock and Casper Van Dien, the latter whom ended up not having much screen time at all. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Chris V They managed to wreck a rather interesting franchise, more than likely from selling off the IP right to unnoteworthy studios and companies. The first movie was good, the second was passable, and this one just put a nail in the coffin of the franchise for a while. The overall story was half decent, worthy I'd say of at least 3 and 1/2 stars but the acting, CGI, and execution were in poor, poor taste. One would expect them to have done better than the first 2 yet as a bizarre turn of events they somehow made the arachnids less real and more computerized than the first 2 movies that were released in a time where CGI was literal garbage compared to 2008. It was literally a blocky 3d rendering made by a freshman in college. Whoever approved of the shoddy work and release either had no talent for hiring good people to work on the graphic design that had already been good enough in the first one. Or just wanted the money that would certainly come anyway from the franchise's name and history in exchange for a literal desecration of the IP. The characters are even less appealing than in the 2nd movie considering that; that one went for over-the-top and unnecessary action, that just made them all seem ridiculous and stupid. This piece grounded the IP to a halt, it held no class in either of these movies with their nudity the first one made it seem more natural as if the humans were more enlightened when it came to not just being attracted by the physical aspect of things. It's sadly in my personal opinion a money grab not worth watching or even including as part of the cannon. Which I hope is in the process of one day being redone by more professional and qualified people that will respect the IPs and their audiences. Sadly if it is in the works, Hollywood's current outpace is worrisome but it could be perfect as their brainwashed minds are exemplary for interpreting a civilization that has upheld an Authoritarian grip on its society.
