Read over the other comments and you'll see how succesfull Troopers was in creating a modern commentary on American military.
There's plenty of action, flat characters, and Rambo dialogue. But that's the POINT. Verhoeoven wanted to create a movie that showed what war does to a superpower.
The best way to watch Starship Troopers is to see it with the commentary from the DVD. This movie is a well-layered political satire - not a teen action flick.
