Excellent fun, just the right amount of stupidity, and great action.

Both seconds of it.

...and yet, you still don't know how to use the three seashells.

You hold two seashells like chopsticks, pull gently and scrape what’s left with the third.

I don't think it did particularly well upon release and is often looked at as a dumb space shooter, as people ignored the satire and imagery. While it always had a bit of a cult following, it seems to have gotten a bit more praise in recent years, which is good.

Starship Troopers is a masterpiece.

I've never understood that explanation. Who needs to actually pull a turd out of their arse in the first place?

It's the future, stop thinking like a Neanderthal.

I need to rewatch Starship Troopers :shock:

I really hope it was Johnny Rico who did that, and not Carmen Ibanez

Remember seeing this when I was very young and only had a vague memory of it even existing.

Saw it again a few years ago and it all came flooding back. Weird experience, watching a film in a constant state of déjà vu.

I had wanted to include "The Rock" but that actually scores OK on IMDB.

To this day Con Air remains the only film I have watched twice in the Cinema. No regrets.

I wouldn't say it's underrated on this forum but in general I feel that Dredd often gets overlooked or forgotten about.

I watched Dredd (2012) a few weeks back great film and its a good paced action film very overlooked even now

This has been on my to watch list for awhile, often see people say that about it.

Not sure I can see Karl Urban in anything else now after The Boys though!

He has the helmet on for the entire movie so its not really obviously him.

Karl Urban = Billy Butcher
Karl Urban's chin = Judge Dredd

Dredd is brilliant, one of my favourite actioners of the 2010's

Totally agree, But never felt it got the same respect as other Action films of the era.

The Grey. Other than the obvious, it's one of Neeson's best.
