It was just all too phony for me, the way they all just chased the bugs around
like a youth soccer team, then how they got pinned down in that fort like the
Alamo. The hordes of bugs did look good, though. The landings were just boring.
When they could have been falling out of the sky, guns blazing, they just
landed in the ships and walked out. I guess it would have been harder to
distinguish characters if they were in big suits. Really, I liked everything
about the movie except the goofy combat and lack of suits.

But Doogie got to walk around in a Nazi-looking uniform and be mean to people.
It was hilarious! ("This one's for the species, boys and girls!") And why
didn't Denise Richards shave her head, like Carmen did in the book? The same
reason they didn't want to stick the hot MI chicks inside big suits, I guess.
Anyway, if anybody hasn't seen it yet, you should.
