Movie Reviews of Starship Troopers
Movie Review: Verhoeven shows no respect for a great story.
Summary: 1 Stars
It is apparent that the director, Paul Verhoeven, has little respect for Robert Heinlein. He butchered a great and controversial story, and left us with a disaster of a film. Please don't bother watching this film. I do encourage you to read the book by Robert Heinlein. Even if one doesn't agree with Heinlein, he does cause the reader to think deeply about important matters, such as, "What is a just society."
Verhoeven's film doesn't encourage one to think. I wonder if Verhoeven read the book since the story in the film bears little resemblance to Heinlein's novel. For example, Heinlein valued public service. I can't tell what Verhoeven values except for indulgence.
I would give this less than one star if possible.
