    Yeah.....do the Book ASAP since Live-Action isn't even close to the Book except for few basic things (and I mean a few things). Anime OVA version is closer to the book but still taken some liberties. Fans of the book use the movie as toilet paper.

    Uh, isn’t the book not ironic or satirical at all?

    Book is ironic, but not satirical. Movie make it a satirical f**k-fest that wasn't the point of the book at all.

    @Poleepkwa not even close. Look, I like Paul Verhoeven a lot on satire, even if his Dutch left-wing politics are not right up my alley. However, he taken a great book and put his political fantasies all over the map to the point it is just 5% Starship Troopers the book. The book is smart and brilliant, the movie is the stuff that comes out of my butt.

    Also the movie just brazed through the concept of how citizenship works in Starship Troopers, which is a major...major focus point of the book.

    The movie is brilliant unto itself, even if it’s different from the book.
