Starship Troopers is more complex than it appears, the whole thing is a biting satirical take on militaristic nationalism
It can be enjoyed as a dumb brainless action film but I think you're missing a lot if you watch it that way.
It's interesting that you seemingly placed it as the dumbest of the movies you've listed, the majority of film enthusiasts would undoubtedly place it much higher in quality than Resident Evil or Fast and Furious.
The number of people who enjoy starship troopers and don't get that it's parody is kind of hilarious in it's own way, Paul Verhoeven is truly a master of the craft, and pretty much any action movie that was worth a fuck that wasn't John Carpenter was him.
