That’s like comparing apples and oranges. While they share a few character names, and a few other things, they might as well be unrelated. Pretty sure the director hated the book and made it a point to satirize it instead of adapting it.
Nah. The only thing really in common between the book and the movie is the ‘everybody fights no one quits’ phrase and the title name. In the book everybody dropped in including all the leaders. They were wearing mech suits instead of armor. The movie was a parody of the book and I never liked it as much as those who had not read the book. The main character in the book ended up commanding his dad at the end.
The movie is way beneath the book in terms of quality. The book made a bunch of wanna be fascist upset about how it portrayed fascism. It upset the rest with how pro fascist it was on the surface. I read it when I was seven years old. I reread it when I was a teenager so much became clear about what it was intended to portray. I read again right before the movie came out and got even more from the book. When I watched the movie it came off as a nazi 90210 in space. So I don’t share the opinion that the movie is better or even as good as the book. The fact that the story was written in the late 50’s says a lot about how the author could see how things might be. We are at a point where that is starting to look like reality.
Movie sucks compared to the book. As usual.
Hard disagree on this one. Usually the books are far superior, but here, the movie is much better.

If you took up, you’ll actually see the movie going over your head.

Yeah it went all the way over your head. It’s time to tear your opinion down to the foundations and try again.
Thats right. Just keep telling yourself that.
