STARSHIP TROOPERS (1997. Dir.: Paul Verhoeven)
G's Corner
This movie sucked big time. Some people have arrived at the strange,
but understandable concluion that this movie is actually a parody on American
values and lifestyle.
WRONG. A parody consists of three important elements:
1. Storyline, not just script
2. Humor
3. Acting
Suffice to mention, none of these was present. The storyline consisted
of thin air. The characters made Beavis and Butthead look three dimensional.
There was humor, for about, oh, 5 minutes.
This is not parody, this is an insult to the audience and to Michael Ironside.
Where is the "Robocop" Verhoeven I know?
As for special effects, though, impeccable!
