Starship Troopers

This twisted space opera serves up carcasses in six-digit figures but is foremost a sendup for the ages.

A spectacularly gung-ho sci-fi epic that delivers two hours of good, nasty fun.

Wall to wall blood 'n' guts laced with surprisingly keen social satire, much of it targeting the fatuousness of media culture.

A collection of shots and characters designed to circle the globe rather than to say anything much about either the filmmakers or the audience, a triumph of multinational capital at work rather than of people or ideas.

Paul Verhoeven's movie takes more action than ideas from Robert A. Heinlein's 1959 novel, which is just as well, considering the book's goofy suggestion that military veterans should control society from top to bottom.

What makes the claptrap in Starship Troopers so flabbergasting is that it's monumentally scaled.

It's exactly like "Star Wars" -- if you subtract a good story, sympathetic characters, intelligence, wit and moral purpose.

amazing how so many people`s gaze don`t go any deeper than surface sheen - something forgivable for kids and teen but intolerable in those who call themselves adults - looks like those "critics" with a score of "52" never came of age.... but how clueless some can be in the age of internet and global information - a good question, even who. what, how Paul Paul Verhoeven is - no,obviously never heard of, but they will "judge" his movies.... you can write books about Heinlein books and books about this movie too - the result will be obvious all the same - some people will get it, some won`t bother even reading, like never reading Heinlein in person but "judging" something about.... anyway, as for Verhoeven`s movie - 10/10 strongly, and please, don`t try to remake it, you not gona get it right anyway and RIP to Basil Poledouris, his music will stay as strong as it is thru time

Much like Transformers, you can only enjoy this movie if you can settle with solid special effects, boatloads of bullets, severed limbs and explosions, and awful characters and horrendous script. And causal nudity. Nothing more then a guilty pleasure, through and through.

Different at the time.... rather funny and great anti war type of message to it. I saw it on cable first but I have to admit I've watched it a few times since through the years. Worth watching and there is definitely much worse ways to spend time.

İlk defa izleyecekler uzak dursun. Günümüzde izlenebilecek bir yapım değil ne yazık ki.

Horrifically cheesy. I'm still trying to decide whether or not this film wants its audience to take it seriously. Even if it doesn't, as a satire it still remains as a big fat nothing of a blockbuster - all attempts at drama die in seconds and tragedy doesn't seem to exist in this ridiculous space age. Of course the themes are 'there' but what of them? The film makes no effort to extend a single message, or point. If it's not supposed to be taken seriously, the film sure fails at making that clear in the first place.
