Starship Troopers
 

Watching it now on cable.

Lots of people say that it sucks but I get a big kick out of it. Naturally, it was a loser at the box office but it is like one of my "comfort" movies; a flick I can watch again and again but still enjoy it every time!

They Mallick the fuck out of those big bugs!

Loved that flick even though it was cheesy... Wish they would have made more...

Fuck, I'm forced to agree with you now... :(

One of my favorite cheesie movies. I have all 3 on DVD. I even paid for them...

There was 3 of them??? WTF! I've only ever seen one.

three of them? gf is gonna be mad..

It's an incredible movie - I've seen it many times already. Scary, Gory and Violet as hell, and fucking funny too. My favourite part is the bug attack on the little compound. What's cool is that the CGI Monsters still look pretty good 13 years later.

If you love Starship troopers, you will of course love Robocop. Same directory (Paul Verhoeven), same writer (Edward Neumeier ), and every bit as funny and violent. For an extra treat, look for the Criteron collection "X-rated" version of Robocop. It's not X-rated for boobies, it's X-rated for violence.

Starship troopers 2 is a total piece of shit. Don't waste your time or your money. I heard that #3 is better but I never saw it.

I loved that dumb ass movie. It's one of those movies that is stupid but knows its stupid and therefore is awesome.

that movie was awesome when it came out!

^^^^^^^ is correct. Part 2 AWFUL, Part 3 worth watching.

Never saw three due to how bad 2 was.

Good to know its worth watching.

The first is probably one of my favorite movies.

You schould watch 3 for sure. It's a continuation of the fisrt movie.

Neither 2 nor 3 live up to the first, but they're all good in my books.

I'd like to see a 4th carry on with the marauder theme, but I think they did a pretty good job of sealing things up with 3.

Those bugs are creepy ... Good movie, however.

Starship Troopers is great.

I did not watch it for ages as all the critics said it sucked.

I remember them saying 'Lost Boys' sucked too, but I love that film as well.

Starship Troopers was not too bad. It had a cool feel to it. It had a bit of 'Pitch Black' feel. No way near as good as 'Pitch Black', but still watcherball.

Starship Troopers 3 was not bad. In fact still worth watching.

I think 2 and 3 were more influenced by 'Pitch Black'. As in on an Alien planet with the aliens out to get them.

1st part is great, ,2 is total bulshit

It was entertaining and there are far more worse movies.

Pitch Black sucked. WTF?

Wasn't that based on a Robert Heinlein book?

Yes late 50's Heinlein novel, very pulp stuff for him considering his later novels like "Stranger In A Strange Land" etc.

In any case 1 is the best and 3 is pretty good as well. They really get into the hilarious "infomercials" and creepy totalitarian adverts in the 3rd one which i liked.

Want to know more?

heh...

It cost 100 million dollars to make, lol!

Cool movie, I like it.

i forgot again - why couldn't they use tanks and napalm and just bombs? why put beautiful people there again?

starship troopers rocked

Those were my favorite part of the series. The television network was hilarious.

Would you like to know more? :thumbsup

I liked it back in the day, mainly because of Denise, but it's a cool movie nonetheless.

Dix Hauser...that's fucking great.

What's not to like, Sci Fi alien killing and boobies!

I'd like to drop a load on Denise Richard's big bushy eyebrows

First one was great,second one was horrible and example of super bad movie,and third one not so bad but still not so great as first one.Also i think they copied a bit that newsfeed in starcraft II.

Would you like to know more?

Wow, I had no idea there were 3 of these movies, only saw the first one. I had heard they cut alot of shit out of the first one to get it past the censors. For you guys who are avid fans, is there like a directors cut or unrated version avail on DVD? If so, is it worth watching?

Someone brings this up every time we watch it. We had it on Sunday night when some friends were over and everyone got caught up in a, "So what? There are no nukes in the future?" discussion.

Lol. I wouldn't say I love it, but I don't mind it. I like the spirit it was made with. I wish more flicks in the sci-fi genre wouldn't take themselves so seriously. :thumbsup

i actually liked the second film!

spanks for the heads up

I've seen them all the first is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Only the first one is worth watching, the rest of em are shit imo

they target Buenos Aires!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Funny you said this - I can watch Starship Troopers over and over again (with some time inbetween of course) and the same goes for Lost Boys. :thumbsup

back to school, eh?

:thumbsup :thumbsup Yep have to agree with ya, pretty good b rated flic. Neil Patrick Harris did good job in his first big movie role after his stint as Doggie Howser.

That was my first thought !!!!! :winkwink:


:thumbsup

Lost Boys is one of my all time faves. :thumbsup
