it looks like CVD injected himself with his body weight in HGH from the filming of the first one until this one

i was so confused by this thread since you changed the title.

you said you "loved it as a kid", which st3 came out in 2008 and then everyone was talking about the original.

i finally realized you had just taken the original thread and updated it.

original movie was bad arse.

You should quit putting your movies into categories and you might enjoy them for what they are. Starship troopers is not a great movie but it is entertaining. It is not supposed to be appreciated as a certain genre.


Satirical and serious tones are often mutually exclusive, so if you didn't "get" the tongue-in-cheek overbearingness of this movie, you probably didn't enjoy it.

I was saying that I thought it was weak even as an over the top depiction of imperialistic America.

I edited the title back to the original now that the epicness that is ST3 is over.

Good to see so many people like Starship Troopers, it seems to catch a lot of flak, but I think it's awesome

I always enjoyed starship troopers.... now, I've never seen the other two... I thought it was clever with it's propaganda technique within the movie also, I think it was the first time I had seen Neil Patrick Harris since the "Doogie Days"

Yeah, NPH doesn't get a whole lot of screen time but I thought he did a great job. Not as great as Harold & Kumar, but then what acting performance could top that?
