It was one of the worst movies ever made. It's the kind of movie that's so bad, you actually enjoy watching it. As soon as I saw buddy kill a bad guy with a carrot, I knew I was in for an eye-rolling good time.
Starship Troopers 3 (just came out a couple weeks ago) falls in the same category. Not as funny, but certainly every bit as cheesy.
I am going to disagree entirely, not because I don't enjoy a shoot-'em-up movie once in a while (I *am*, after all, a military historian who watches gory death on a regular basis), but because this is exactly the kind of movie that would appeal to you.
If you want a real movie that gives you the correct mix of bloody violence and watching everyone's second-favorite genocidal maniac dictator going completely nuts in his bunker (Hitler), I suggest Downfall, mostly because watching the Nazis take it in the lederhosen is always good for a few larfs.
Especially knowing they then got to endure the Commies for fifty years. Talk about poetic justice.
Paul Giamatti as a bad guy? I'm in.
