    Starship Troopers is a great Paul Verhoven movie, just like Robocop was. Saying that, I do prefer his earlier films like Spetters and Flesh & Blood.

    The first two Lord of the Rings films had good cgi. But by the time the ****fest known as Return of the King came along, Peter Jackson was so up to his ankles in sperm from everytime he creamed himself using CGI in his two previous films that he decided to do it all CGI. I mean, seriously.

    As someone said: Moderation is the key.

    George Lucas, Peter Jackson and Stephen Sommers all need to learn this.

    I think it was the worst movie ever made. Cool insects yeppers but the acting was horrid.

    But the LOTR films never had a moderate amount of CGI, none of them did. The only reason ROTK would appear to have more CGI is because, it's a much bigger film. It's the big final battle, for a series of films that have huge battles throughout.

    Funny story about Starship Troopers

    When I went to see it in the movies, a father and son were sitting behind me. The scene when everyone is showering together, talking about why they joined up, one of the women had very obviously breastfed a baby. I heard the son gasp and ask, "What's up with her boobies?"
    The father laughed and said, "There's a word for breasts like that."
    "Yeah?"
    "Yup...they're called real."

    Now, I was going out with a german girl at the time and when I started laughing, I had to explain this to her. That was fun.

    Can't agree there I'm afraid... Gollum was at times astounding! Sure at times the effects looked like effects, but we're not at picture perfect yet for many techniques...

    I would put such a comment down to one of two things... (a) a classic binary opinion mode? (b) someone only having ever seen three films?

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
