Title: Heinlein spins in his grave, but that's OK!!
Product review: The movie bears little resemblance to Robert A. Heinlein's classic book. But that's OK, because director Paul Verhoeven finds more creative ways to gruesomely kill people than in this movie than in any other movie I've seen. Bloody, intense fun! Those people who complain about the obliteration of RAH's admittedly contoversial political philosophy missed the point of this film. Verhoeven never said he wanted to pontificate about future society...he just wanted to impale people really good!!! Oh yeah, and about the removal of the robotic suits Heinlein fans seem so obsessed about: Verhoeven ditched the robo-armor because the special effects required would double the cost of the film. In my opinion, concentrating on the bug effects was the right way to go. Go ahead and see this movie, but leave the kids at home. Definitely worth renting, to buy it is up to you.
