All troop movements were within the realm of believability, including *gasp* Michael Ironside's character.And you went to see Starship Troopers, yet you list KILLER BUGS as a reason that it was a bad film? WTF?!Didn't you WATCH the previews? Did you just stumble into the theater blind? The movie is a war movie, that happens to use humans vs giant killer bugs.How'd you miss that?And what the heck is "cheesy period"?BTW: anyone who thinks Starship Troopers was a REALLY bad movie (with nothing to it) should revisit it again.It, more than almost any movie I know, was misunderstood when it came out, and has subsequently gotten more respect every year, since the film is not a teen pro-war film, as it may seem on the surface to an unexamining eye.The film is actually about how the populace can be manipulated into going to war for "patriotic" reasons, and the dangers of fascism. This is cloaked within a pretty-teen action film.Many people, especially when it first came out, missed this.Since then, most people who see the film are aware of its dual levels, and give it a big thumbs up.</blockquote>
