Yeah.  The first Starship Troopers movie is actually a decent action flick if you've never read the book.  If you have read the book, it is one giant facepalm as you realize they probably had a script already written and just slapped the Starship Troopers name on it for the IP exploitation.

they aren't saying it's a bad movie, they are saying it's a bad adaption.

Oh I dunno, there's plenty wrong with the movie even as an action flick. It's not quite Batman and Robin, but it's probably at least a Batman Forever level of crappy.

They did.

It was called Bughunt.

What was wrong with Starship troopers!?

James Cameron made it better and called it "Aliens". And that, BTW, is Cameron's own opinion as stated in the introduction of "Aliens - The Original Screenplay" book. Thats all I'll say about that.

Me, I'm reserving judgement till i see the film. Waht I really wish that Mako was still alive to play Iroh. That alone would make this movie awsome - he makes anything he's in awesome. Hell - he's the Saveing Grace of Pearl Harbour

There was a clip from the film up on youtube for a while. It wasn't as bad as everyone says it is, it was worse. The sort of thing that gets the MST treatment.

the sets were incredible and the visual effects were great but everything else fell flat completely.

Sounds a lot like the other Avatar movie.....

Nah, It's not that bad, really.. Avatar (the blue one) was a rather standard story which was executed in a rather good way, although the focus was a tad too much on the graphics side. But I didn't notice any major 'film-breaking' flaws.

I get the feeling that all of James Cameron's movies are like that. The Abyss was also very cliché at the end which was a film-breaker for me - I watched the Director's Cut, the version with the Aliens), but the acting was awesome. I have never seen Titanic, but apperently, that is a cliché Romeo and Juliet story as well, executed in a rather good way, although the focus is a tad too much on drama.

Pocahontas 2150 didn't have any flaws per se, it just didn't have anything remarkable either.

I prefer the original film, that it was based on, "Dances With Smurfs."
