hate to say it, but I loved the book- it made sense in a lot of ways, and I could not even buy the movie at all- it was just a very stupid testosterone fest lacking even the elements of a good action movie- it just did not make sense as a sci fi war movie- I mean, in the book, the troopers had power suits, and were in essence their own tanks, air support, artillery, all in one- they were shot directly from orbit to the planet to be assaulted, and then proceeded to whump ass and then be picked up by the dropships- and half the book was training, like full metal jacket only worse- the warfare methods depicted in the movie did not even make sense- air support that they never use, no tanks- WTF- i guess that the reason that i so disliked it is that I could not suspend my disbelief due to the above glaring flaws- I figure you can get away with anything in a movie if you set it up well enough- but in this one they did not even bother- I saw it in the theatre and had high hopes, so that certainly hurt me- It would have worked much better as a starcraft movie-
