Oh well, I thoroughly enjoy the movie Starship Troopers, but have never read the book. Some FReepers have said the movie sucked compared to the book.
Starship Troopers was good, shoot-em-up action. Just don't confuse it with the (much better) book.
the book and movie starship troopers really were worlds apart; I think the ST directors/writers wanted to bring in a lot of the action elements of the great book ARMOR by john steakley. The movie story overall really resembles the heinlein book only superficially.
