shows ridley scott can make great a movie, even if it comes from a mediocre book.
i had the opposite feeling when i read starship troopers. I think heinlen's book was awesome, and i dont know what the hell verhoven was doing, but he and the guy who wrote robocop took the names and the general fact that there was war with "bugs" and ran off on their own wild tangent.
