Matt Damon, not Brad Pitt, and I refuse to watch it. I’ll watch the Bourne movies, but that’s it for my Matt Damon intake.

To add to the list—”The Hurt Locker.” Garbage.

Oh, and if anyone thought “Starship Troopers” was bad (and it was, but it was enjoyable), check out the (direct-to-video) sequels.

After reading the book, I could never watch the film to completion. The book was well-thought out, and was perhaps among the best of Heinlein’s ideas. The film was empty regarding the witty, intellectual value of the book, of which about half of the book was thoughts and flashbacks running through Rico’s head while he is packing adrenaline, I liked that writing style a whole lot. The film just didn’t measure up to that caliber.
