How a gory, cliche filled, fascist dream can be so entertaining is beyond me, but entertaining it is... This sci-fi romp is HIGHLY underrated. Highly entertaining and actually thought-provoking in its own way, Starship Troopers delivers a couple of hours of entertainment you'll not soon forget. The script is loosely based on a book by renowned, sometimes controversial, sci-fi author Robert A. Heinlein, but deviates a lot from the book. If you have read it, you might be disappointed, but I doubt it... Recommended to anyone with even the slightest interest in sci-fi.

Boy I expected more out of this given its reputation. It's too long. It takes forever to get to the good stuff. It has the older guy who dated Kelly on SBTB. On the plus side it has Ironside and Clancy Brown. I don't know...its a fun movie but didn't live up to its rep. UPDATE: I'd like to say that I was a real dumdum when I said the above stuff and now have seen the light on Starship Troopers and how it rules. Many thanks to the Action Boyz for helping me realize we got a perfect movie on our hands.

Starship Troopers feels like a cross between Ender's Game and Dawson's Creek and Full Metal Jacket and Idiocracy and Star Wars and She's All That, which is to say that it feels simultaneously distinctive and unusual while also seeming fairly familiar and unoriginal.

A movie that was misunderstood at the time of its release. Its balance of satire with action/sci-fi isn't too dissimilar from _Robocop_, so it was probably only a matter of time before it would get reassessed, but it's still a challenging film because it makes a lot of bold, out there choices.

I essentially never give a film a 1 vote; even a very bad one. But this film takes one of the most powerful and historically significant works of science fiction, and quite consciously makes a joke out of it. Heinlein, in 1959, years ahead of his contemporaries, in one single small book, absolutel More

Great movie, from one of the best and most famous directors coming out of the Netherlands: Paul Verhoeven.

I enjoyed watching the short promotion clips throughout the movie that depicted an at first sight utopian society, but if you look more closely its more like a fascist regime much like Nazi Ge More
