Summary: Needed big name stars
Review: Hey! Come on, folks. It's not that good and it's not that bad. This movie needed big name stars. Micheal Ironside is the closest thing we get to a star. You've got to love the bug attacks! You know what you're getting when you go to a movie like this. It's not deep-seated philosophy like another popular sci-fi movie series tries to fake. Naw! This is action-adventure pure and simple. Too violent? Way too much. Silly? Preposterously so. Entertaining? Certainly. And there is a message or two about how effective propaganda can be. Want to know more?

Summary: Hoooooo Boy, this stinks!
Review: I could pick this piece of junk apart all day long. 1) What's with the setting? Is this what the world would look like if Hitler won? And if it is what did he do with all the Hispanic people in Buenos Aires. 2) Giant bugs who can destroy spaceships and move asteroids out of orbit with their flatulence? Stoooooopid! 3) The whole battle plan looks like it was thought up by a six year old. Why send infantry into a herd of giant insects with pea shooters when you could nuke the crap out the planet from orbit or drive over it with tanks? 4) If someone gets impaled by a giant insect's leg, then they should be dying, not running around a bug cave taking bugs out with an assault rifle at the end of the movie. 5) Thank you for the all-time worst line ever spoken on the silver screen by a dying character: "At least I got to have you, Johnny." Hey director, next time just kill the stupid supporting actress and be done with it. 6) Could you give Johnny Rico more promotions over the course of one week? If enough of his superiors keep dying maybe he could be commander and chief of the armed forces before his 21st birthday. 7) A co-ed shower scene. Only the idiot who directed ShowGirls could come up with something so adolescent and unrealistic. 8) Doogie Howser in a Gestapo uniform? Why don't you just put Pee-Wee Herman in a Darth Vader suit, you mis-casting moron.

Summary: A new low for bad films
Review: This abomination of a movie will forever be my personal benchmark for determining rock-bottom, lame, movie making. A laugable plot coupled with grammer school level acting. If ever there was a candidate for being the poster boy of bad cinema this one's it.

Summary: Provocative Action Thriller
Review: Once upon a time, movies were realtively simple. You could pigeon hole your horro movies, your action movies, your romance movies.Then, the joy of crossing over started a new wave. The romantic comedy, the action thriller. Follow on from this and we start to see the lines blurred to the point that it is arguable what the film is actually about in the first place. The result of this can be seen all too clearly in Starship Troopers. What is it? It is an action movie? A bug movie? A horror movie? A scathing depiction of life? What? In it's own supposed cleverness, ST has suffered the worse of fates - to be misunderstood. Perhaps even members of the cast were never quite sure what it was meant to be about in the first place either. Forget the novel. Forget the clever ideals and the hidden messages. Watch the film and (as I rarely say) don't listen to the hype. Enjoy the action, the silly OTT acting, the weird humour. all if it is actually fun, if you forget the rest. I'll be putting this on my 'must buy' list, because it is so watchable. You can start getting deep when you really get to know it. But perhaps that's the point? Fianl thing: Doogie Howser will take years to lose the typcasting.

Summary: Hey Verhoeven! Stop making movies!
Review: Just when you thought that ShowGirls was the lowest the industry could ever sink, Verhoeven pulls something even worse out of his.....pocket. I am fed up with directors who believe they can ignore everything that makes a movie worth watching so long as they feed us mindless special effects, skin, and gore. Every no-talent actor in this movie needs to go back to the 90210 set they walked off of. And who is the idiot who cast Doogie Howser as a secret intelligence agent. The only thing entertaining about this piece of garbage was that the plot, characters and setting were so stupid it was all FUNNY. I would pay real money to see this thing spoofed on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Summary: Pathetic acting with too much gore and violence
Review: The camera views are horid, the special effects too overdone, the actors are practically reading their lines. Only children might think it real, however it has far too much violence, blood and gore to be acceptable material for any younger viewing audience. Don't waste your money on this one.

Summary: Wretched excess, accent on wretched.
Review: Many people have called this movie a satire -- a sly, knowing kris between the ribs. I argue that the movie's satirical intentions are totally undermined by the movie's own wallowing in what it pretends to hate. In other words, it wants to have its cake and eat it too -- but anyone who's seen more than three movies in their lifetimes will know you can't have it like that. An intelligent satire like "Dr. Strangelove" was informed by the understanding that if you're going to satirize people's tendencies towards propaganda, irrationality and violence, you can't wallow in said subjects. As Truffaut once said, the problem with most anti-war movies is they make war look like fun. "Troopers" is all too obvious an object lesson. Avoid.

Summary: Heaven protect us from Verhoeven!
Review: Woodenly acted, the model mannequins have escaped from Baywatch and put on space-suits. I challenge anyone to care about the characters, including the actors portraying the roles. There was no commitment from anyone, with the possible exception of the CGI artists, who obviously spent a lot of time on this film - possibly to put together a portfolio reel. I'm not even sure Verhoeven cared, since the sense I got from the film was he was completing a three-picture contract deal by going half-hearted at this one. There are any number of really good science fiction flicks out there that examine the heroism, god, and country attitude missing from this dud. I suggest passing over this one in the vid-store, and changing the channel if it ever appears on TV.
