Nice to give some reasons? Anyway the film of Starship Troopers was a satire. On that basis it was brilliant.

Oh please. Bill the Galactic Hero is a satire of Starship Troopers.

The movie was a lame hacky attempt by a pathetic self aggrandizing liberal hollywierd screenwriter (or a comittee of the same) to overlay his own pathetic ideologies and weak criticisms of a work he neither understood, nor probably even read. Calling it a "satire" is just an equally lame attempt to explain away the crappy insult to the audience (not to mention R.A. Heinlein) that resulted. It was hardly "brilliant" by any definition.
