Hmm, I've only seen the Verhoven Starship Troopers movie, and I had read the book. One things is most of the people who like that movie root for the troopers. It's kind of similar to 40K in that way. I imagine Heinlein might have been amused by that. Also, Verhoven was making a point about militaristic societies... but the military was still pretty cool in the movie, was it not?
One of my favorite things was when Mike Stoklasa (of Red Letter Media) compared it to the Star Trek Original Series episode Arena and decided it was the anti-Trek.
