The shitty acting was one of the things I enjoyed about the film. Nothing in there is subtle and it seemed a pleasantly blunt attack on the simplistic approach of the average war film. The bad acting made the characters (even more) flat and uninteresting, and that heightened their position as archetypes placed into a narrative in order to make the viewer identify with the plight of 'our brave boys' (or in this case, take the piss out of it).
Plus, it was a hell of a lot of fun.

If anything I enjoyed the cartoon that was based off of the movie.

Starship Troopers was great. Everything that you think was just shit was completely intentional. Watch the the movie with the commentaries on, and pull those sticks out your butt. The movie gets a lot more enjoyable that way.
Seriously ahead of its time. It's like Paul Verhoven predicted the entire Iraq war and the media reaction to it.

You mean the CG one? That one at least had powered armor, even if they removed the flamethrowers, shoulder-mounted nukes, mile-long jumps, and mini-grenades that they would throw handfuls of. I still need to see the CG cartoon, as well as the Anime, which was based completely off of the book, from what I can tell.
