Starship Troopers (Special Edition)

Summary: Cool Flick!!!
Review: This is definetely the most violent movie ever made. People getting their heads and arms and legs chopped off, people getting stabbed by giant insect legs, and however a person can possibly die, you can be sure you can find it in this movie. People say it doesn't have a plot, and they're right, but this is the kind of movie where you don't focus on the plot but rather on the entertainment level. It's fun fun fun!!! BUY IT CAUSE I'M GLAD I DID!!! :)~

Summary: Two Stars For The Eye Candy
Review: The rest of the movie needed some help. By all means READ THE BOOK. It is much deeper and tells a more involved story. You also get to read about the Skinnies. I happened to read the book before seeing the movie and there is no comparison. Skip this film and READ !

Summary: Not What I Expected....
Review: The book was great, when I heard the movie was coming out, I was jumping for joy. But not when I got into the theater. Where were the space suits and weren't the characters supposed to be Hispanic? I mean common they were recruited in Buenos Aires for crying out loud. And all they seemed to use were infantry...where are the tanks and heavy artillery, it's also the future, shouldn't there have been lasers and particle beams. The reason this movie got 2 stars instead of 1 because of the excellent CGI and gore. Better to buy the book than the movie.

Summary: bad movie, bad, bad, bad.....
Review: This is the kind of movie that gives the film industry - in general, and the science fiction genre - in particular, a bad name. Graphic mutilations, a cliched script, and horrendous acting might be palatable for those who have the lowest of standards, but what about those of us who believe that a movie should be worth watching, and above all, entertaining?

Rating:
Summary: Different and exciting
Review: All you people who did not like this movie should go watch Contact again. I thought it was exciting and new, I mean why do we watch Sci-Fi movies? To be entertained and thats hat this movie does!

Summary: AT ALL INTERESTED IN THIS MOVIE?
Review: OK, OK, so the acting sucked, but so did Star Wars's (NO, I"M NOT COMPARING STAR WARS TO THIS MOVIE, JUST THE ACTING), & there was some pointless nudity, but this movie kicks ***!! (rhymes with bass) Special effects are killer, it made me laugh my *** off, & the battles were cool too. Oh yeah, the book was better though, but it is a whole different expierience.

Summary: Yuck! What dreck!
Review: This is a terrible movie. Like Monsignore, it was like being on the set of Mystery Sciene Theatre, as the bulk of the audience heckled the poor plotline, writing, acting. My favorite line was delivered by one of te nubile young women as she lay dying. I won't give it away, you really have to see it in its context to appreciate its absurd impact. The whole psychic Doogie Howser stuff was inexplicable,and I kept rooting for the various characters to get killed by the bugs. Heinlein is one of my favorite writers, but this movie was pure dreck and drivel.

Summary: The book was classic... the movie was almost good.
Review: I remember the day i saw Starship Troopers in the theater. I had read the book and was excited to see the movie. And it was well worth the wait exept for 4 minor details that bring the movie down. The first 2 details is its unfaithfulness to the movie. (1) where were the famous spacesuits from the book? They were a key part of the book and to exclude them was rediculous. (2) The characters were supposed to be hispanic (the earth scenes were in Venezuela). The next 2 faults center on its target audience. The book was intended to be a juvenial adventure but the movie only acted like it was for kids. Schlock-style gore and pointless nudity were definetly unneccesary. It could have been better.

Summary: I was fooled
Review: I bought this movie after hearing some good things about it, and boy am I sorry. It fails on nearly every level - action? plenty of gunfire, body parts, and blood, but it's ineffective due to a severe lack of suspense - story? nothing new or interesting, and I felt that I was watching the same events occurring repeatedly throughout - characters? there wasn't one that I could feel any sympathy towards - humor? I detected some parts that I think were supposed to be, but the poor execution kills them. The only "redeeming value" is the CGI, but even that's not worth the money or having two hours of my life wasted.
