Actually, I thought it was pretty good for a C-movie.
The script was pretty funny. It was a lot better than ST2 at least Blink

Well the second one was already super bad, the third was just.... pure crap.

All three were crap. The only thing Starship Troopers that is good (besides the book, obvioulsy) is the short 3D tv series.

FFS Starship Troopers INVENTED the WH40K spacemarine suit and the Starcraft marine suit, and those were nowehere to be seen in the two movies, and only made an appearence at the very end of ST3.

The idea that Heinlein wrote this book in 1959 describing powered armor exoskeletons, tactical nukes and orbital insertions really boggles the mind.

ST3 was not that bad. It had a lot of the kind of brutal kind of jokes that the ST1 had. The script could have been improved in some ways and because of the lack of budget there were not many battle scenes, but otherwise it was okay.

A lot of people hate ST1 and while the movie is indeed about blood and boobies, but it also has a lot of irony directed against militarism and propaganda.

....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced.

The original novel did which has little connection except for the name and some references in the film, even the way they travel inspace they messed up in the film

ST1, I remember walking out of the cinema unsure if the movie was crap or looking for the next recruitment office to sign up for WAR

Seriously, don't take me serious, I MEAN IT...seriously

That series was aired on Nickelodeon or something like that in the UK, it was pretty damn good for something intended for kids. It had some good CGI for a show like that to.

Yeah I agree that's some time out of my lif I wish I could rewind and go do something, no make that anything, else. Loved the book and the first movie was okay but the sequels were crap.

BTW my copy of the paperback book is older than mose Eve players.

I think you meant "the worst book to movie adaptation ever".

RAH needs to come back from the dead to haunt that Verhoeven mofo into the grave. I loved Robocop, but did they have to reuse the ALL THE SAME GAGS from it for Starship Troopers?

The best worst book to movie adaptation ever? Myxx does have a point though, the first is the best of the three. But that's only comparing to the others, in no way is it a decent film at all.

Clearly, you have never seen Dune.
