Weird to see people say Starship Troopers and The Princess Bride when one is considered a very good sci-fi and the other is rated by just about everyone.
I’m not sure Starship troopers is considered a good sci by many. It’s certainly a cult movie. But critical acclaim?
I don’t think the sequels help it.

Among proper sci-fi fans it’s a huge hit.
How does one become a proper fan? Is it like being a match going football fan?

The point being that they are essentially crap films, which now have a cult status.
Lots of people liking them doesn’t suddenly make them good.

Those are both generally considered good though...

No they’re not, they’re terrible films...bad acting, poor scripts, daft plots.
Casper Van Dien has never done anything good. But Starship Troopers is a cult classic.

There’s definitely no way we’re talking about the same two films, especially The Princess Bride which is critically acclaimed, loved by the fans and has high scores on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.
Starship Troopers “daft plot” is just a satirical take on military might and is meant to be stupidly over the top. Calling it daft is like being annoyed that Happy Gilmore isn’t an accurate reflection on being a touring pro.

High ratings, critical acclaim and/or loved by fans doesn’t mean good

The 80’s are packed with them: Highlander, Over the Top, No Holds Barred, Youngblood et al. Jean-Claud Van Damme specialises in this field with Bloodsport, Kick-boxer and AWOL. All of these are terrible, awful films. All of which I also watch every time I stumble across them.

I distinctly remember Starship Troopers being in the 'so bad it's good' kind of category.

By people who thought it was meant to be serious maybe.
