Meh

It was fun. But once I read the book I realised what a disappointment the movie was,and how much cooler it would've been if they stuck more to the book.

And yet, so far behind it's time in PLOT and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT...

Read the book long before the movie came out, and so obviously, I was not impressed...

Looked like "saved by the bell" in outer space.

Sweet. Would you mind if I borrow it? It you're not reading it, that is.

You can have your choice of anything Ive got in return too. Ive got The Godfather on order right now. The old copy fell apart.

I havnt yet read the book, but Iv read all of Heinliens adult series of books, and all of his short storys.
After seeing the movie it only has a very passing resemblance to a proper Heinlien story, its certianly not nearly out there enough, altough the uni-sex shower scene is a hint at the sort of society he generaly creates in his storys.

starship troopers was part of his "young adults" sci fi books, and I did buy a 2nd hand copy the other day, but only because Iv seen the movie, Iv yet to read it, but from reading another one of his they seem generaly rather tame, and over simplified for me in comparison with his full length novels.

The exact reason I really didnt care for the movie. It was boring and dumb, not to mention there were a lot of cheesy parts in it when it came to acting, but hey, just one guys' opinion.

They didn't shoot asteroids. They shot "bug plasma" and used that to push an asteroid towards earth.

The movie sucked, but the show was amazing. Definetely one of my all time favourite shows.
