Comments on: Starship Troopers http://www.the-editing-room.com/starshiptroopers.html Abridged Scripts for Movies Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:27:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Smarinychttp://www.the-editing-room.com/starshiptroopers.html#comment-116065 Smarinyc Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:35:00 +0000 http://localhost/wordpress/?p=229#comment-116065 This script really needs to get redone by someone who has read Heinlein's book. Nothing was mentioned that Heinlein's book valued individual soldiers above all else with each soldier in an Iron Man-like super-suit attacking entire planets by themselves and leaping around nuking cities. This movie lamely has its super-soldiers standing in a circle shooting the lamest M16 looking guns while wearing completely useless armor. These awesome tactics of getting dropped into a meat-grinder while being completely surrounded, outnumbered, and hopelessly under-equipped are ridiculous and the opposite of what Heinlein was trying to say in the book. Without any modern equipment like guns larger than a rifle, tanks, helicopters, or any means of transportation, back-up, or even auxiliaries, the Starship Troopers would get crushed by Vietnam era soldiers. Seriously, these are the worst battle tactics ever put on film. Stand in a circle! Let the enemy surround us! Even World War I had cannons, troops took high ground, entrenched, fought in a defensive line - these clowns, nothing! Terrifyingly stupid.

Rob, how about as a side project you give us your take on it? ST deserves better. As great as the movie was, this script really does suck.

In fact, it pretty much summed up the only stuff that I truly remember from the movie - that chick's boobs. Oh, come on - it wasn't that bad!

This script sounds like an actual fan wrote it. Its a gay sci-cheese film that seems like it was made for saturday morning cartoons. Everything about this movie sucked.
