That's too bad, RoboCop was actually good. And they did subtext much better in that movie than Starship Troopers ever dreamed of.
I thought the subtext was obvious and worked on two levels.
It was both parody of "rah-rah" war films, and a parody of propaganda movies.
But the grand joke of the movie is that the bugs and humans or sorta analogous. The humans think they're fighting for "freedom", but in fighting the bugs they're becoming less free and more of a hive mind.
Great movie. And the CGI, shockingly, still holds up.

Both classics imo.
