The only thing I can compare it to is defacing works of art such as the Mona Lisa

Oh haha

You read the book I take it

OH, yes, the movie doesn't convey the book very well.

It's better to take it on its own merit.

The movie intentionally raped the book

It wasn't accidental

The book is such a well-written masterpiece, the movie is directed by a guy who couldn't make it through the first few chapters

It kind of was, considering the guy didn't even read the book. The ideas he was trying to parody for the most part exist nowhere in the book itself

No it's by a guy who was on the opposite spectrum politically who used it for parody

Oh

Go on

No, it's by a guy who is on the opposite side of the spectrum, who was retarded, who didn't read the book

I've only heard reviews of the book so you know more

He's quoted as saying something along the lines of "I could only make it to the first few chapters then it made me feel physically ill so I had someone else tell me the rest"

I've been a Heinlein fan since I was like 9 years old.

Hell yeah

Sounds like an insult more than a statement of fact

Starship Troopers is one of the first examples power armor in fiction, and one of the finest

The director took an excellent War novel and an excellent sci-fi novel and turned it in the one most unwatchable garbage movies ever

Girls read Heinlein too. I loved Starship Troopers because girls had a logical role in that society.

The movie was good imo

The movie was trash imo

I get that you're a fan of the book so

The movie is really a dark comedy

Movie was so so

Book was awesome

Look I would rate it like 6 out of 10

Still not bad

It's like somebody defaced the Mona Lisa and turned it into a BLACKED video

Oof

But but

The movie needs to be enjoyed as something different from the book

The movie was peak B film! Anyone here play the Medic drinking game?

I read the book and watched the film

I derivitive work

Johnny Rico and the other girl were so vapid and fake and they were the ones to survive, it's so cool

I'll give you that, but unlike World War Z and how to train your dragon, which are good movies when viewed apart from the books, Starship Troopers doesn't have anything

I also like the designs of the aliums

I can't believe they whitewashed the book

I think women were better represented by Heinlein
