oh well.

No, I don't like it because it became 'robocop-meets-aliens'. The director was so in love with movie-with-commercials thing, he carried it over from Robocop into Starship Troopers. Combine this with the rest of the movie being a not very good Aliens ripoff, and it kinda left me cold. While the graphics were excellent, the acting was strictly third rate. I can't bring myself to like a movie for graphics alone. Even Final Fantasy and Event Horizon had better acting (marginally) than Starship Troopers.

When I go to a movie I want decent acting (not great, I can deal with just decent), a story (again, decent, not necessarily great), and visuals. Starship Troopers failed on the first two.

huh, I saw nothing wrong in the acting personnaly.
bah, ST stays one of my favourite sci fi movies, if not my favourite one. It kicked asses, I liked the fact that the bad guys were not the first to attack, that the good guys were not that good, I like the fact that they didn't use cliché stuff like laser rifles, but good old ( and big, very big) macihne guns, I like the fact that the heroe was a perfect dumbass, the terran society an horrible fachist government, I liked the news stuff in robocop so it didn't bothered me to see that again, and, also, I just love Basil Poledouris musics
This time I won't go into any ranting thing, the movie sure has flaws, but giving the fact that Veroheven had to finish it with half the budget he initially was promised, I think it's a true piece of art.
Oh, and i just love Denise Richards, so

[an0n]

an0n's Reasons Why Starship Troopers Rawked:
The graphics
Denise Richards
Dizzy getting her nekkid groove on with Rico
The Gore
The grunts charging to their death

an0n's Reasons Why Starship Troopers Sucked Ass:
It was soooooo not Starship Troopers (the Roughneck Chronicles is Starship Troopers)
It was full of corporate whoreism
Not enough sex
Not enough violence
Not enough of Denise Richards gyrating
Not enough of Dizzy's groove

an0n's Reasons Why The Event Horizon Ownz j00:
It's ****ing huge
It's walls are painted with the bodies of the damned
It's engine is a black hole
It's engine is a gateway to hell
It mentally rapes everyone who sets foot onboard
It made Sam O'Neill into a psycho killer for an hour and a half

Amen, brotha Amen!

Starship Troopers the orginal book was good.

Sam Neil, not O'Neil

Starship Troopers.

The original book, has someone already said, is a good one. And it has little to do with the film.

and where do you think blizzard's guys got the inspiration? I just hate people who do speak about things they don't know... like not knowing that many Sci-Fi movies and games are actually taken from Classical Books.. like.. Blade Runner (Philip P. Dick: "Do androids dream of electric sheep.), Ubik (same author, same book name), and so on...

[Nico]

Where does Starcraft comes from? from Warhammer 40k actually, and it's really obvious ( Terrans= space marines, Protoss= eldars with alien faces, Zergs= tyranids) , just like Warcraft comes from Warhammer Fantasy Battle

[CmdKewin]

that's another one it's a mix of different genres


btw, i just can't wait to see Freelancer finally done!

The government was not fascist (as you would know if the movie didn't suck donkey balls) and the main character was not a dumbass but an average guy (as you would know if the movie didn't suck donkey balls).

The visuals are stunning. No doubt about it. But visuals couldn't save Final Fantasy: TSW either. Making that movie on half the original budget was phenomenal but a bad movie made at half budget is still a bad movie. It was okay for what it was but it was not what it could have been.

Oh and Denise Richards? She'd be more attractive after being gutted by a Bug. She's nasty. Of course, that's just down to raw personal taste. We will DEFINATELY disagree on which women are attractive.

[Nico]

huh, you know, I read the book too. I was talking that IN THE MOVIE, the gvt is a fascist one, the heroe is dumb. I don't care if it's not like in the book ( I would have if it was Lord of the Rings, but that's another story).
An if you think Denise Richards is ugly, well, i can't do anything for you Oh, yeah, I can introduce you to some vasudan female friends of mine
Nah, really, i just have the feeling that you (and Stryke9) just always say you don't like it when I talk about something
And Starship is not a bad movie, you just don't like it ( oh, and final fantasy wa a good movie too, and I don't care if it didn't work well -in the states- ).

Okay, Venom, I'm really tired of this. I like some of the things you do, I don't like others you do. Because my opinion differs from yours does not invalidate my opinion. Because your opinion differs from mine does not invalidate yours. My opinions are based on my likes and dislikes, not based YOUR likes and dislikes. If I don't like something, its because I DO NOT LIKE IT, not because you do like it. Is that clear? If not, I can get someone translate it into French to make sure the point was CLEAR AS CRYSTAL. Good? Good.

I don't like Denise Richards. She's not attractive, sorry. We'll differ on that. I like the sorts of people I like and you stick with the girls you like. It's okay for our opinions to differ. Honest. If you think it is not okay, I suggest you re-read my previous paragraph.

Finally, for the record, I didn't say that Final Fantasy was a bad movie. I thought it was excellent. It still lost money because people didn't like it very much. I am not one of those people. I though it was excellent. Of course, I like every Final Fantasy game to date, so I might just be a sheep.

[Nico]

"look above"
oh! you're angry?
I never said you didn't have the right not to like etcetc, I just say that when you tell your opinion, you do it so it's like it can't be questionned, exemple, this very last post:
"she's not attractive, sorry".
bah, I'm fed up of that for long now, you know, but bah, I just can't stay w/o replying, that's how I am, sorry

Well she's NOT. (and that IS an opinion. You can question it. You'd just be wrong. In my opinion. )

Whilst I might have been angry before, I am not now, and this is a joke.

[Nico]

ok lol, but I think she's gorgeous, and I have a friend who looks just like her, and ... oh well, I won't tell you my life
Anyway, I decided never to argue with you again, coz it always ends up as a clash, and I don't want that( see, I actually like you )
