Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
In the first and finest RoboCop movie, director Paul Verhoeven combined near-future science fiction with a keen sense of social satire--not to mention enough high-velocity violence to satisfy even the most voracious bloodlust. In Starship Troopers, Verhoeven and RoboCop cowriter Ed Neumeier take inspired cues from Robert Heinlein's classic sci-fi novel to create a special-effects extravaganza that functions on multiple levels of entertainment. The film might be called "Melrose Place in Space," with its youthful cast of handsome guys and gorgeous women who look like they've been recruited (and in some cases they were) from the cast of Beverly Hills 90210. Viewers might focus on the incredible, graphically intense action sequences (definitely not for children) in which heavily armed forces from Earth go to off-world battle against vast hordes of alien "bugs" bent on planetary conquest. The attacking bugs are marvels of state-of-the-art special-effects technology, and the space battles are nothing short of spectacular. But Starship Troopers is more than a showcase for high-tech hardware and gigantic, flesh-ripping insects. Recalling his childhood in Holland during the Nazi occupation, Verhoeven turns this epic adventure into a scathingly funny satire of fascist propaganda, emphasizing Heinlein's underlying warning against the hazards of military conformity and the sickening realities of war. It's an action-packed joy ride if that's all you're looking for, but Verhoeven has a provocative agenda that makes Starship Troopers as smart as it is exciting. The DVD includes an above-average commentary by the director and Neumeier, several deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes documentary and promotional featurette, cast bios, production notes, and more. --Jeff Shannon

Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" as done by some who had no respect for Heinlein's values. Despite the conflict in values, I enjoyed it immensely. Of course, given that the irony was so subtle that I, as many, missed it...
A lot of liberties were taken with Heinlein's work, but if one is ignorant of Verhoeven's intent, the spirit appears to be preserved, with an emphasis on a political system based on personal responsibility and accountability, and the premise that a thing worth ... Read More

Now that Starship Troopers 3 is out on dvd, I would like to review the 1st ST movie. First of all I cannot believe there are almost 800 comments for this one film. Goes to show it hit a nerve on many levels.
Now although I only have the widescreen version of this movie on VHS tape, I can still say it was one of the better, that's right BETTER war films ever made. Sure they use mainly small arms through-out this flick but that's what makes it a challenge. You couldn't very well make a good ... Read More

It is apparent that the director, Paul Verhoeven, has little respect for Robert Heinlein. He butchered a great and controversial story, and left us with a disaster of a film. Please don't bother watching this film. I do encourage you to read the book by Robert Heinlein. Even if one doesn't agree with Heinlein, he does cause the reader to think deeply about important matters, such as, "What is a just society."
Verhoeven's film doesn't encourage one to think. I wonder if Verhoeven read the ... Read More

Join Rico (Casper Van Dien), Dizz (Dina Meyer), Carmen (Denise Richards), Zander (Patrick Muldoon) and Carl (Neil Patrick Harris) and the rest of the gung ho Troopers in this futuristic, sci-fi, action/adventure, surreal allegorical tale of intergalactic warfare between mankind and giant bugs. The '97 film `Starship Troopers' excels in every category; special effects, action, originality, dialogue and anything else you can think of. There's nothing else like it, so "Do your part' and get the popcorn ready ... Read More

Director Paul Verhoeven has repeatedly stated that the point of this movie is to suggest that "war makes fascists of us all". The presentation of this moral in the film, though, seems to be more factual than cautionary. Verhoeven misses almost every opportunity to suggest to his audience that he is being critical of fascism and, indeed, the movie often seems to support fascist ideology in several different ways. The characters do not seem to be impaired or deprived in any way because of their loyalty to ... Read More
