Starship Trooper was a lot better.

Are you NUTS!!!??? "Starship Troopers" was a HORRIBLE movie. Not only that, it completely MISSED the spirit and theme of the Robert Heinlein novel.

Starship Trooper was a lot better. More bug gore (but not much more).

Tsk, tsk. Tolkein fans should be better at identifying trolls than this.

Starship Troopers And have you ever read the book? It was published in the 50s. I can't see how it was ever published. Terrible book. The publisher must have gone out of business years ago for publishing junk like that.

I would go so far as to say that it was a parody of Heinlein. Too bad. I would like to see the following Heinlein books done with the same care as LoTR: The Cat Who Walks Through Walls and/or The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress and/or Glory Road. And a bunch of other stuff also, now that the bar is raised. I hope LoTR is a big success and proves there is a market for quality SF and fantasy films.
