Title has little to do with what I wanted to ask

starship troopers is from a really old book.

[vurt]

Yes Starship Troopers is Robert Heinlein's "classic" sci-fi novel, it's from the 60's or maybe it was the 50's even. I've always thought this book is overrated, i even prefer the movie over the book.

[1337]

That's what I thought too, but you wouldn't believe how many think starship troopers ripped off starcraft

Is that book really not as good as the movies? I already thought the 2nd and 3rd movie were inferior to the first...

[vurt]

The majority thinks Heinlein's book is a true classic amongst sci-fi books, i just dont share that opinion. The movies after the first i don't even count, they're really horrible and have nothing to do with the book as i recall..

[1337]

As I understand it, the third movie ripped the marauders from starcraft. At least they don't talk about Zergs...

Budget for the movies:
first and best one: $105 million
sec and worst : $7 million
third : $20 million

budget tells everything lol

[gusmil]

to be frank I didn't even know there was more the an one movie O,..,o
But alas yes starcraft was second in being first.

[vurt]

There's also a Starship Troopers anime series, it's supposed to follow the book a bit better, havent seen it. And there's a CGI starship troopers movie too (imo not very good).

starship troopers 1 just came on tv when i clicked on this topic

i didnt even know there was a 2 and 3, should i watch them or are they so bad its not worth it?

[1337]

The 3rd "tried" to reach the atmosphere from the first movie and ricko is back in it, so it's way better than the 2nd...

In my opinion, watch only the first and 3rd one (the second has no returning characters). But don't expect to like the 3rd, it's strange at moments and some characters will get on your nerves really fast. But hey that's my opinion anyway

If I had known what I know now, I'd only watch the first movie. And the 3rd maybe while cleaning up the studio

starship troopers was good, but there should have been giant *CENSORED*.

[Manaconda]

starship troopers was good, but there should have been giant *CENSORED*.

I wonder if this guy likes *CENSORED*?

you have not been formally introduced to *CENSORED* salesman. yes, he has an unnatural attraction to *CENSORED*....

[Kamos]

He was actually a major boss in the Metal Gear Solid series as well!

[1337]

It's not an attraction to *CENSORED*, he's just telling this reaaally long joke...

back to the topic, the cheesy part you liked about the first movie isn't in the least in the second
I missed all the fascistic infomercials from the first movie
