It's that it works with the idea without some agenda being pushed.

Starship Troopers is a film that is like a parody of an army film, this film however works with that idea to deliver good action, interesting characters and great lore for a 1997 film.

Remember, a Good bug is a dead bug.

The problem however that I dislike is the plot, it doesn't go in any direction but flows nicely to a non-existent conclusion. I understand that there are sequels to this film, Which I will watch now but after about 2 hours I expected something big, instead, it was just a tiny discovery. No problem with that it's just not satisfying.

The goods, well it's a parody, and a very good one of that. It uses for the time different elements of how can I say "Army Life" as inspiration. This film shows you good cringy ads, Death against the Enemy, Nudity? Oh right, Nudity. It uses all of the elements to sell the parody-like movie and helps itself by letting you care about some of the characters.

It is truly something that most films today won't even bother with. When the film hits high gears you are interested and entertained, surely most of it is illogical but films should be made to entertain, inspire and have fun with what it's trying to do.

8/10, I like this, its faults is that it's short even though it's around 2 hours and the story isn't necessarily satisfying, but I like it.

I hope the Sequels are good enough, these types of films are usually difficult to do.

Its time to do my part and watch these films and review them, for history sakes.
