Starship Troopers

Casper Van Dien, Clancy Brown, Denise Richards, Dina Meyer, Dina Myer

Paul Verhoeven has fashioned a visually spectacular, morbidly funny comic book adventure that seems to merge the fresh-faced youths of the Archie Comics with the save-the-planet mandate of "Buck Roger...( read more  read more... )s.'

    The link between ST and Total Recall is obvious and a long wait from Paul Verhoeven fans for this EPIC sci fi , slasher, horror. Good Blu-Ray also.

    Good old Paul Verhoeven, back to what he does best. A great action parody (although no one told poor old Casper Van Dien)!

    Brilliantly violent film with super sharp effects and lots of Verhoeven trademarks all over haha the black satire is thick and fast with news reels all over the film showering you in a communist lifestyle that all must obey and join up to gain citizenship and basic freedom really...( read more). The uniforms of the federation are very Nazi-like and the whole film is full of propaganda and devotion to the 'federation'.
    At the time the cast were unknown and that made it feel alot more realistic and not just a comic book conversion, they also fit their parts well and although alittle hammy they do a good job, right up till they each get splattered by a bug haha
    The look is great and quite savage, the warfare is brutal and actually abit tense, the gore is topps and classic Verhoeven (just like Robocop).
    a full bug riot all the way with almost non stop gun totting action and blood.

    Overworked, self-aware schlock that still manages to knock it out of the park here and there. Those little news reels are the most interesting part of the movie; how far is Starship Troopers willing to take itself into parody, anyway? The lack of limitation is noble, but when not...( read more) all of the actors seem to be in on the joke DENISE RICHARDS CASPER VAN DIEN then the force of the satire is really diluted. Perhaps Verhoeven played them this way to enhance the cheesy PSA sensation of the whole movie, but then why is Neil Patrick Harris so gamely aware (an approach that works far better)? And all of the bit players? I just don't think either of the two leads are talented enough to get any of Verhoeven's messages across. Not that he's a director of great thematic complexity. Whatever. There's tits, too.

    As an action film, it's watchable and the gore is fantastic, but by the last half hour everything starts to get so fucking repetitive that the novelty and the charm fade away and you're left with little more than the same ol' bug eviscerations. I think they just ran out of ideas before the final confrontation but felt compelled to stretch the movie out anyway. Whatever. There's tits!!!

    Totally subversive and gory. Can't believe so much got past the censors.

    I love this violent sci flick about soldiers taking on evil alien bugs on their home planet. This isn't for kids though with plenty of gore on display.

    One of my favorite sci-fi movies. Great visual effects and story, with a nice ensemble cast and some campy fun. An excellent movie for Blu-Ray.
