Remember that Starship Troopers, like Verhoeven's more famous earlier film, Robocop, is as much a highly satirical skewering of pop cultur, violence-worship, and twisted politicking as it was action fare. It's a film where the "good guys" are Nazi-like imperialistic conquerors.
Without Verhoeven's involvement, this "straight-to-video" fare will be just a poor bug-blasting live action cartoon. Worth ignoring.
