I think in the 'making of' they said they wanted to include the power armour in starship troopers but couldnt find a place for it, I enjoyed the film it was good gory fun,even if it did stray from the book i veiwed it as an independent piece, if you want power armour you could always watch Starship Troopers 3 : Marauder, lol Rico makes a comeback.
as for the topic, i say Paul W. Anderson and Uwe boll., Anderson isnt a bad director but his scripts suck ass,and it brings down his movies. Uwe..well everything he does is crap,from editing,camera angles and script work.
