Starship Troopers

Pros: Stunts and special effects
Cons: 1 too many deaths

Johnny Rico and friends discover the difference between civilian and citizen in the movie based on the book by Robert A. Heinlein. In the future the planet is united. There are no racism or sexism issues, everything is coed.. There is space travel and...

Pros: nice special affects
Cons: shallow plot

I was at a party and one of the 2 movies rented was star ship troopers and Rush Hour. Everyone there wanted to watch starship troopers because of the gore. I new this was one of those movies where they slip in a love story that is all about sex. Of...

Pros: Glitzy production, good looking stars
Cons: No substance, bears little resemblance to original book

If you ignore the movie's namesake, you can probably enjoy the film as mindless Hollywood fun. But if you have read the original novel by Robert H. Heinlein, then you'll be bitterly disappointed by how Verhoven had distorted the classic sci-fi novel....

Pros: Man eating space bugs
Cons: It's kind of ... well, stupid

If you recall, when this movie first came out, the buzzword was fascism. Jack-booted Nazis! Government propaganda! It was all the critics could talk about. Naturally, I didn’t really remember Nazism as being a strong element of the story, so I...

Pros: Action Action Action
Cons: Not for little kids

The battle cry is on the lips of the entire human race "KILL THEM...KILL THEM ALL " This romp through the stars has got some of the best special effects around ,how the craftsmen put them together with live action was OUTSTANDING !!!! The bad...

Pros: Plenty of Action
Cons: The plot could have been a little more in-depth

This movie is a superb combination of special effects, and acting. It had a strong story line, and the plot was one of the best science fiction movies that I have seen. Casper Van Dien gives an outstanding performance as Rico, a tough high school...

Pros: everything gets shot
Cons: Its not Gone with the Wind

Here, Here to all the reviewers that wrote about this film from the standpoint of just having fun!!
I grow weary of people trying to find high moral or societal value in rip-roaring shoot'um up movies. They are what they are- mindless fun.

...

Pros: Special Effects, Theme
Cons: Plot (I use that term loosely), Story relation to book

If you read the book, you might be disappointed. You might not.

Don't expect this to be anything like Robert Heinlein's book. It's almost a crime to film it in the name of the book, but I'm biased (My first name is Robert, and I really like...

Pros: Incredible FX & battle sequences.
Cons: Poor character development.

Starship Troopers is a two hour barrage of blood, brains, boobs, and bugs by director Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Total Recall, and [ugh] Showgirls). Based on Robert Heinlein's 1959 book, this film is a war/monster movie set in a future where veterans rule...

Pros: Special effects, some good one-liners.
Cons: Terrible acting, doesn't do Heinlein justice.

My friend and I were in the theater in 1997 when we saw the trailer for 'Starship Troopers'. We heard the kickin' Blur ditty 'Song 2' and said to each other "Man, we've got to see this." I eventually saw it, and I must say I was both pleased...

Pros: excellent special effects
Cons: Gap in story line

I wanted to see this movie because I had read the book 15 years earlier.
The special effect were great. Unfortunately it did not reflect the real story of why the world look like a modern version of Nazi Germany, the book explain it quite well. The...

Pros: Great action flick
Cons: Some really dull subplots

Turn your brain off for this one!! It is a great ride through "Starship Troopers" originally authored by Robert A. Heinlein. Even though the script loosely follows the book, the overall feel is very close to what Heinlein was aiming at....

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: 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 ...

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 ...
