I was incredibly unfortunate to have had the unbearable experience of sitting through this *thing*. To think that I was going to watch Sense & Sensibility but it came off a few days before. This is the worst movie I have ever seen. Honestly, I would've done better watching a blank screen. The audience in my theatre were trying desperately (you could hear them) to squeeze a laugh out of their mouths for the whole duration of the film. There were more laughs in Schindler's List - literally.

Starship Troopers

8 August 1998
This was one of the worst big-screen film experiences I'd had for a while. With this film, plus SHOWGIRLS and BASIC INSTINCT, Paul Verhoeven has stamped himself as currently one of the worst blockbuster directors. His celebrated film TOTAL RECALL was - I admit - successfully scripted, but it nonetheless contained directorial flaws. Obviously nobody wanted to invest TOO much money in a production from someone like Verhoeven, the result being that much of the special effects in STARSHIP TROOPERS seemed fake. But not everything bad in the film was the director's fault, even though he was one of the guys who employed the actors. It is surprising that none of the actors received nominations for the Razzie Awards (I expected five for the acting categories). Casserole Vanity Devoid, Dense Ribald, Dingy Miasma , and Jackass Bushy are in serious need of acting school. No, they have to pass primary school drama classes first.
