    When I read the book as a young teenager, I was super impressed by the heavy duty powered armor suits and weapons used by the marines, and the over-the-top combat. It would be nice if the movie emphasized that stuff, since the Verhoeven movie got rid of the power armor. And it might be nice if the Sony movie de-emphasized fascism elements to make it a bit more of a rousing action movie like Aliens (i.e. not too heavy on the political overtones compared to action and character development and interesting plot).
