So they use fifty thousand rounds of bullets, and zero flamethrowers. Sigh.I thought they had the critters beaten at the end of movie I, right? Or.. let me guess.. someone thought that as the first one was received OK, they might make a sequel - but not based on the original book? That would do it.
Exactly so, after all -- That is the Hollywood Way.
I do think the film improved on the book in two important ways.
First, the more varied and interesting development of the bugs made for a better story. (I wish someone would do a mod and add the new Bugs into the old Avalon Hill game of Star Ship Troopers.)
And Second, that shower scene works ... every time. hock:
Otherwise the film is forgettable.
