Title: If only I hadn't read the book.
Product review: I had been wishing for a long time that someone would film a version of "Starship Troopers" that would do justice to the original book. I'm still waiting.The effects were good - especially the bugs - but the movie didn't make the CGI artists' efforts worthwhile. They left out almost all of the things that made the book great - the emphasis on personal responsibility, the bloody failures in the early part of the war, and the whole motivation for the war. I don't remember them mentioning the whole "we make them extinct or they make us extinct" angle anywhere.The amplified armor? Couldn't do that - you might hide the faces of the actors. What you ended up with is a goofy story of a bunch of teenagers shooting bugs, and a lot of extras getting sliced up.This movie sucketh, and sucketh mightily.
