No surprise, nobody who has would accept the "satire" bullshit that the director tried to cover his ass with. He admitted he'd done no more than read the back of a paperback copy before making that train wreck.
The Cossack ambush of the Polish knights in "Tara Bulba". Otherwise a very tedious film.
^This. 'Starship Troopers' is (apart from being a ripping good read), a thinly disguised treatise on the duty one owes to the society in which one lives. The film, on the other hand, is a fairly moronic castigation of the whole idea of 'duty'. You know a film is bad when even Dina Meyer's tits can't save it.
