After graduating from high school, Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) follows his girlfriend, Carmen (Denise Richards), and best friend, Carl (Neil Patrick Harris), to enlist in the military, but when war is declared between humans and a race of highly-evolved giant bugs, Rico proves that he is a hero in his own right.
"Starship Troopers" can be best described as an over-the-top, unbelievably trashy remake of every World War II epic ever made...but with bugs instead of Nazis as the villains. Based of the comments that I have heard from critics and my friends, in the decade since this film was released, this is the sort of film that you will either love or hate, although I, personally, cannot imagine how anyone could not like this film. If you love really trashy B-grade horror movies, then you will adore this film. It is essentially a B-grade movie made on an A-grade budget. This film contains gratuitous violence, sex and nudity; disturbingly large quantities of bug blood; and Denise Richards. How could that not appeal? The script is a lot smarter than you would imagine, essentially it is a satire of war propaganda films, complete with newsreels and more scenes of bravery than I've seen since John Wayne's death. It is also directed by Paul Verhoeven, the man who gave the world "Basic Instinct", who impressed me so much with this film that I am now half tempted to watch the infamous "Showgirls".

I serioulsly don't understand how anyone, specifically a previous reviewer, can say that this is the "most realistic sci-fi" they're ever seen. The whole permise is so stupid and unrealistic that i couldn't get past the first half without rolling my eyes many times over. Seriously, if we had ships that could reach other worlds and far more advanced technology than we do today, we would never send in a single troop to fight these things. All we'd do is send a few automated ships (no need for pilots) out there to drop a few massive nukes and we'd kill all traces of life on the planet within seconds. there'd be no need for a single person to die. dumb.

When people hear I love this movie so much they usually giggle or look at me funny. Given that it is corny it is still an awesome sci-fi flick. Even more so, and on a level that I can't quite describe in words, I was in the infantry and for some really bizarre reason this movie has more in common with the infantry than most films that try to actually be more non-fictional. That's my opinion though. Nevertheless, an excellent film that never gets old, no matter how many times you've seen it, so it's worth the money for a DVD.

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 having must be earned. Clearly these values are without any relation to needs of members of modern western society. So, Verhoeven attempted delicate and subtle irony to show his contempt for these obsolete concepts. Due to his monumental failure, he swore off irony.
The action and effects are lively, the characters well developed and complex, as are the relationships, and the story is a passable tribute to one of the greatest books ever.
The moral of this; don't mess with Heinlein, pacificts shouldn't make war movies, and irony is as controlable as a woman.

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 movie if they just nuked the entire planet the bugs were on huh? That doesn't make a very good story line either so that explains the small arms, plus the co-ed army makes for some enlightened moments. Although if you watch the shower scene, the film makers appear to be making sex sterile. As if a shower full of naked men and women wouldn't be thinking of sex, yea right.
Beyond all that crap however lies a movie to be watched for what it is, purely entertainment. Plus it's always nice to see Denise Richards!!! That is at least the Denise Richards of the '90's.
