Quoted: Haven't seen it in a long time. It has always made me want a mini14 with one of these crappy bullpup stocks. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1006842486 Lacks the under barrel shotgun but at least it has sights. And also Dizzy's boobs. Dizzy should of lived. Rico's snotty high school sweetheart should of got her brains sucked out instead. We have Spoiler tag available! |

Does that count for a movie made in 1997?

It is based upon the book of the same title written by Robert A. Heinlein in 1959. I read the book back in the 90s before the movie came out. The book is better in my opinion but the movie is entertaining.

Quote HistoryQuoted: They NEVER made a movie based on the book, “Starship Troopers.” Well, there's an OVA from the 80s that's supposedly pretty accurate to the book, at least as far as adaptations are generally concerned. (I haven't seen it myself, though.) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The book was great. The movie kinda sucked. The book and the movie are two different creatures. The book was about accepting duty. The movie was a shoot 'em up space opera. If you don't expect the movie to mirror the book then it sands alone as pretty good SciFi movie. I am a Heinlein fan from way back. I started reading his books back in the 1960s. I have a complete collection of his works and he has been influential in my life to be a Libertarian. I actually enjoyed the movie once I got over the fact that it wasn't going to be the book. |

I like that the book took duty seriously, and I liked that the movie had a more solid ending. The book has always felt at least a chapter short to me. |

I have a complete collection of his works and he has been influential in my life to be a Libertarian. I actually enjoyed the movie once I got over the fact that it wasn't going to be the book. Top Amazon review of the book. Worth a read: I first read this book years ago as a child, and in many ways it shaped my entire world view; it quite literally changed my life. I recently retired after 27 years of Naval service, and as silly as it may seem to some, this book was the foundation of my success; in military service, in the lives of countless young Sailors, and in my new role as a civilian. It shaped the character of who I was as a leader of men and women at war. Heinlein may have authored "better" books (according to the critics) but having read virtually all of them, none of the others ever quite so captured the essence of what it means to be both in military service and what those of us fortunate enough to have served all know in our hearts: the true value and moral responsibility of citizenship. |
