Starship Troopers: One of the Most Misunderstood Movies Ever

5. I got it, first time out

Back when I was a keen sci-fi fan, I was able to pick out the references to the American SF genre of the 1950's and laugh along with the director, producers and actors. But it was so well done it's actually a watchable movie, even with the deliberate, hammy over-acting. (In my opinion, if a movie has Michael Ironside in it, prepare yourself for some Class A scenery-chewing! Shatner's got nothing on this guy, but that's a whole other debate.)
Juxtapose all that with some awesome special effects, especially the battle scenes, and it's an hour ad a half well spent. This movie comes on one of my movie channels every few weeks and I often have it on, listening for my favourite scenes. (And yeah, I'll admit it; the shower scene is one of them)
So, if you haven't seen it, give it a shot and remember it's not meant to be taken seriously. I understand there is a part two? Can't vouch for that.
