Pros: Action, special effects Cons: Betrays the intent of the book, weak dialogue
Starship Troopers is a great, action-packed, shoot-'em-up, kill-the-bad-guys (bugs) science fiction adventure film with lots of great special effects. The battles scenes, both in space and on the ground, are graphic, complex, and exciting. It begins on ...
Pros: Special effects, pretty good performances, some good action Cons: Character development, some plot holes, maybe a bit graphic for some
"Arachnids" and humans are at war, and "Johnny Rico" (Casper Vab Dein) has decided to join the military to fight the "bugs." Even though his parents, especially his father (Christopher Curry), object it and order him to go on vacation. He refuses, and ...
Pros: Satire works most of the time; good effects Cons: Not much fun after one viewing
When I was still in junior high school, back in 1978, I checked out a copy of Robert A. Heinlein’s Starship Troopers from Riviera Jr. High School’s library. At the time, I was very gung ho about science fiction, especially futuristic ...
Pros: A Sci Fi special effects extravaganza. Cons: A little too styalized.
Starship Troopers (1997) Directed by Paul Verhoeven, loosely based on the novel by Robert Heinlein. Starship Troopers is the story of Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) a BMOC in the future Buenos Aires. The world of the future has one ...
Pros: Campy, action-packed, and often fun Cons: Complete bastardization of a truly good, thought-provoking book
Okay, when this movie came out I was dying to see it. I am a big fan of the book, and when I saw the movie I was outraged. Here is why: Every time a book is made into a movie, some things have to be sacrificed due to limits on time, translation, or ...
Pros: Good action,effects, satire. Cons: Not the strongest cast of actors.
The events of StarShip Troopers (1997), loosely based on the novel of the same name by Robert Heinlein, take place in the 23rd century, as humankind has mastered interstellar travel and is pushing outward into the galaxy to colonize other worlds. ...
Pros: Nudity. Some cool action sequences. Interesting satire. Cons: Not the right nudity. Redundant. Weak script. Poor acting.
Starship Troopers has been lauded in recent years for being a satire of American militarism. Indeed, it does have several satirical qualities-----watch the media scenes, and it's difficult not to be reminded of Fox News. Yet Ed Neumeier's frustrating ...
Pros: Machine guns. Lots and lots of machine guns. And Denise Richards. Cons: Acting, plot, theme, pretty much everything not associated with explosions.
Although I am the 93rd reviewer or so of this movie, I'd thought I'd throw in my two cents in accordance with the biography I wrote last night. I found scanning the reviews here that reviewers either gave this film 1 star or 4/5, and I think that is ...
Pros: Snappy story. Good SFX. Doogie Howser in a Waffen SS uniform! Cons: Weird Nazi-esque stuff. Nudity. Lightweight.
A magazine review of Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" described it as "What 'Star Wars' would have looked like if the Germans had won the war." (I think it may have been "Entertainment" but don't hold me to that.) They also refused to give it an ...
Pros: An exciting science fiction action film on the surface; a devilishly clever social commentary underneath. Cons: Extremely violent and disgustingly gory.
Paul Verhoeven (director of films such as Flesh & Blood, Robocop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, and Starship Troopers), is, in my opinion, a genius. Starship Troopers was adapted by screenwriter Edward Neumeier from a Robert A. ...
Pros: The enemy are bugs. Cons: The commander of the Roger Young annoyed me.
This film is one of the best I’ve ever seen, hands down. It is based loosely on a book of the same name that was authored by Robert Heinlein. Fortunately, I managed to see it before reading the book or I might have been put off as others seem to have ...
The mistake many "blockbuster popcorn" movies have made in the last few years is not incorporating a level of satire to make them lighthearted enough to enjoy. "Starship Troopers" tries to have it both ways by establishing a sense of satire which is ...
Pros: Satire, Special Effects, Cinematography, Direction Cons: None
“There will be wars and rumors of war…” Holy Bible ”Violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else. The contrary opinion that violence doesn't solve anything is merely wishful thinking at its worst!” Jean Rasczcak Director Paul Verho ...
Pros: Stupidity that will leave a big grin on your guilty face Cons: Why couldn't Denise Richards played Dizz (you know what I mean...)
Premise- The world is being attacked by alien bugs from outer space. They attack Earth by shooting plasma out of their butt holes, and the plasma hits meteors, and then they hit Earth...Or something. Therefore, Earth must fight back with the "mobil ...
