I agree Robocop 1 was excellent. But Starship troopers simply went over itsown head, but under most of the audiences' feet. It's sort of like the director had a fleeting spark of real inspiration with Robocop, then it was gone. He tried gamely to recapture the inspiration, ending up only parodying himself.
