Overrated. It's decent but c'mon.
It's too over the top with satire. It's almost Hot Shots level of satire/spoof.
Also i've never liked the production design. Everything feels cheap.
The book is good and incredibly influential. It created the space marine, drop ships, and other things that have become staples of military sci fi.
I like the movie because it was done the only way it could have been done. It's almost a parody film, an ironic take on the book's fascist society. Similar to how Robocop, also directed by the same dude, is an ironic take on a lot of 1980s culture and news.
