So I watched Starship Troopers last night...

[Pastfinder]

...and I realized that aside from piss-poor acting and the lame romance, that hey, the film ain't that bad. Pretty decent CGI effects. Found out they are making a sequel to come out in 2004...wonder if they read the book this time?

 

[blackdogdeek]

denise richards!

it's funny how you can almost tell the movie is based on an older sci-fi book. i did enjoy the movie though. did i mention denise richards?

 

[Papagayo]

I liked Starship Troopers

 

[TheAudit]

I liked the movie and it's WWII rah-rah atmosphere.

 

[samgau]

It was a decent movie.... the acting did suck though....

 

[NFS4]

Yeah, I enjoyed it too when it came out. Only saw it once, but I do remember some T&A in that movie.

Yep, I still watch from time to time. I saved a copy on VHS from the dumpster.

 

[Pastfinder]

I noticed that all the military insignia used were copies of older insignia ranking from Germany, Russia, South Vietnam, and the US

I think you forgot to mention Denise Richards rool;.

 

[elektrolokomotive]

I thought it was a fun movie. Didn't take itself too seriously. I especially liked all the tongue-in-cheek "propaganda" bits.

"Would you like to know more?"

 

[vi edit]

That movie was a hoot.

 

[yllus]

I should watch it. The book though, which is totally different, is fantastic.

 

[Kadarin]

Heh.. I just bought the dvd last week

Screw Denise Richards, I'll take Dina Meier (Dizzy)...

And yes, the movie is a hoot. Anyone notice the "Hitler Youth" theme pervading the movie?

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Heinlein is spinning in his grave...

^^ agreed.

The book is very thought-provoking and controversial, and the movie waters it down almost completely.

there is tons of Nazi type themes throughout the movie, such as the whole concept of citizenship, along with the intelligence officers uniforms and how they seem to hold more power than usual.

On a side note, if you have an HDTV, the Superbit version of this disc offers reference quality video. It's quite stunning.

Hey, any film with Neil Patrick Harris is deserving of an Oscar in my book!

That was the best element. The whole buildup of a 'movement' with one aim. To wipe out the enemy.
