I saw the movie on 27th, and I feel it is an awesome movie.Great effects,graphics
and yes really good action.It is much better than StarTrek.
I will give the movie 3.5 out of 5.

I totally agree, I’m glad I read all the really bad reviews before I watched it as I think I enjoyed the movie more because of it. I was expecting something far worse than it actually was. Overall it’s a good movie with great special effects, the bikes were cool!

I love fighting Scenes.
I’m no more a minor for this.
I am also an Avid fan of I-robot movie.
Robots are great specially if they were created
realistically.

All of the Heinlein audiobooks are very well performed. I recommend going that route if you can.

Andy’s right. IIRC, the book explored the idea that a person who is not willing to die for their country does not deserve protection by it (and further militaristic stuff). It can be read as a straight-forward adventure, though, as can another book of his, Friday.

Heinlein’s books tend to have really heavy stuff hidden behind them. I’d recommend Time Enough For Love, Stranger In A Strange Land, and The Number Of The Beast.

In fact, I’m suddenly interested in buying them all again!

“philosophical explorations”? Doesn’t sound like that film.

I’ll have to track down the book. I’m sure I saw it somewhere but thought it was just a book-of-a-film and ignored it.

Starship Troopers was based on a fantastic book full of wonderful philosophical explorations. They should have given the movie a different name.

Agree. Also a shame for that final heart transplant… really superfast and so LOL.

The trailer shows a load of cool robots, but it also shows Christian Bale being an 80s poser macho man. hopefully the film will be good despite him.

the scene where the helicopter lands on the terminator (0:40)… he shoots the robot, then waits around, shaking his head slowly and philosophically while staring off into some distant horizon while the camera tracks slowly upwards. awful.

then another scene where he talks without moving the upper part of his face. 1:14 – try covering the lower half of the screen while watching that. it’s like /someone/ is speaking and he’s just standing there in a daze.

It would be nice if he could speak like a normal person, instead of whispering like he can’t get the Batman character out of his head.

he was good in Batman Begins. but he has a big head on him now, and his acting skills are going downhill.

I could be overreacting to the tosser, though.

Yeah, everyone seems to have become an armchair critic, afraid that enjoying some dumb fun will mean that we, ourselves, are dumb. Our quality of life would be much better if we approached everything with lower expectations, most things can be enjoyed on some level.
