Title: Did They Read The Book?
Product review: "What was that?" My exact words after leaving the theater after sitting through Starship Troopers. I don't know if the writers actually read the book, or just pulled a few character names out and threw something together after reading the back.Sure, if I hadn't read the book, this would have been a fine action movie, but I ruined it for myself and read Starship Troopers before seeing the movie. Whereas the book can be set alongside the same lines as "All Quiet on The Western Front," with feelings of nationalism and the "War is Hell" oddessy; the movie pretty much was Rambo with a bigger cast.If you're looking for a decent action movie, this is it. However if you've read the book...you are in for a REAL dissapointment. If you want a less tacky "War is Hell" I'll recremend "All Quiet on The Western Front," better script...I can't say anything about the actors because I'm sure they did the best they could with the materiel they had.
