A fun movie to watch. The special effects are very good. The director did a great job. The story needs help. The troopers could have easily won the war from long distance. But, fun movie to watch.... Full review

This is one fun movie. Great excitement, with clever imaginative creations. A roller coaster ride of a movie. It's not perfect. Especially the acting. The visuals are awesome, and the score is very solid. If the acting would have been better... Full review

I spent most of the movie wondering why they just didn't drop big cans of Raid on planets. I guess because they had a seemingly endless supply of retired male models to turn into infantry. That worked about as well as... Full review

This movie is so disappointing. The Navy pilots didn't even use their ships to destroy the bugs and only use them to land and pick up troopers. The mobile infantry didn't have armored powered suits, only the light protective suits on... Full review

I Felt this movie was Misunderstood. It poked fun of many things the human race does. It was also a very anti-Fascist, anti-war film. Which I don't think alot of people picked up on. It also made fun of the sci-fi... Full review

It's fun, it's mind-numbing, it's entertainment baby.....if it is indeed satire and not ridiculously bad storytelling, for having such a forceful presence, the satire does nothing with the subject.......Starship Troopers" is by no means a good film.....solid characters, a sound narrative, and cinematic restraint;....Denise Richards as one of his love interests is attractive but banal;.... ...

The inability of "Troopers" to find a consistent tone is the core problem with the film.....Verhoeven's similarly legendary ineptness as a director, though, rears its ugly head, butchering what should have been a simple "humans vs. aliens" story..... ... Full Review

There was absolutely nothing redeeming about that particular film.....The second "Starship Troopers" film was bad from start to finish.....I actually liked the original "Starship Troopers.....The special effects were amazingly realistic....Besides, the story was very creative.... ... Full Review

nothing which detracts from one's overall enjoyment of the film.....The mix makes heavy use of the surround tracks, which creates a wonderfully chaotic cacophony of sound during the numerous bug battle sequences.....If there were a sub-genre in film for satirical Science Fiction, Director Paul Verhoeven and writer Ed Neumeier would own it..... ...
