I don't know if this is off topic, on topic or what. I'm not art, literature or film student, but I loved the book dearly (it is required reading at some officer schools). I thought it was not only interesting and enjoyable to read, but also a good commentary and realistic enough for my tastes. I love all of Heinlein's books, but Starship Troopers is on the top 5 with me.
The movie I despise totally. For an action movie it is bad, for a joke movie it is bad, for anything I would ever want to watch, it is bad. If I want to watch bad movies for fun I will watch some old propaganda movies or find something with Bruce Cambell in it, he makes good bad movies.
The game I did enjoy some. It is very simple and easy to beat, but its kind of fun and they added in the armored suits that were so important in the book.
I also saw some of the animated series. I thought the series was much better then the movie. It had powered armor, skinnies and actually took itself seriously some time.
