Anyone think starship troopers is one of the most underrated movies?

It's a fantastic, amazingly entertaining movie. In many ways, it just sums up the Bush Administration follies long before he was placed into the White House!

I liked Starship Troopers when it came out. Starship Troopers 2 was one of the worst pieces of trash I've ever seen but that's besides the point. Now I can't stand it. It was a great mindless action movie, I went and read the book and now it seems like a giant disgrace. I can no longer look at it as mindless action since it was meant to have a lot deeper meaning. The book is extremely well written, of course all of Heinlein's stuff is, and deals with a lot of deeper issues. They had to go and commercialize it and it is a tragedy.

I do. As far as SciFi flicks go I thought it was fairly well done.

It had violence, gore, nudity, great special affects, a decent cast and a good plot regarding citizenship granted to those who served.

Remember: An Armed Man is a Citizen, An Unarmed Man is a Subject.

The only thing I didn't like was that the song "Starship Trooper" by YES was not used in the movie.

You know, I agree. I thoroughly enjoyed Starship Troopers and I couldn't understand why it wasn't a bigger hit. Admittedly, I myself saw it on television but after watching it I wish I had caught it on the big screen!

I thought it was a good movie. I cant say it was very overrated because of the generous amounts of bad acting thoughout the film.

Not really, but I'm a big fan of the book and I think that the movie was not very well done.

Denise Richards was a great pilot. I liked when they violated that alien slug.

The movie was hilarious. Omg. I caught it on dvd though..

totally agree....great movie

have to serve to gain voting rights...of course most countries require military service anyway...

Well, yes and no.

It is underrated for what it is and then, what it is, isn't overly fantastic either.
