Aw, the movie is awesome in a "campy, tongue-in-cheek, propaganda-laden satire-of-militarism" way. Less so in a "true-to-the-source" way.
It's a fine Paul Verhoeven flick but does not deserve the title.

The sequels lose all the "deeper" satire and parody and actually do suck, though.
It's all shallower than a dried up puddle compared to the book. =P
