My take on Starship Troopers is that I enjoyed both the book and the films.

The book gets more into libertarian themes of personal responsibility and individual choice than the movies, which are more satirical in nature, poking fun at militarism and propaganda. However, more than anything, both are good sci-fi. Both portray high-functioning Earthlings battle against hive-mind Arachnids.

This contrast highlights the advantage humans have by being able to make decisions at the individual level.
