After Heinlein's death, the book was reissued by Del Rey Books as the author originally intended. The version published in 1949 featured a number of changes forced on Heinlein by Scribner's, since it was published as part of the Heinlein juveniles. It represents the first appearance of Heinlein's idealized Martian elder race (see also Stranger in a Strange Land). Heinlein about students at boarding school on the planet Mars.
In other words, if you look at it as "based on" ST rather than an actual adaptation, then it's not awful.Red Planet is a 1949 science fiction novel by Robert A. It's impossible to reliably predict the direction a billion people will trend things) One reason why government-directed technology never works, and central-planning schemes always go awry.
It's not a particularly close adaptation (Verhoeven really did NOT understand the culture RAH was writing about, as shown by the obviously Nazi-esque uniforms for the Intel Officers) but it's not an awful movie itself, and the book is remarkably didactic and Verhoeven did a fairly good job of getting a lot of that subtle material into the movie with the "internet 'Want to know more?'" elements - which at the time was perceived as the future of the internet (i.e., "push" content vs "pull" content - As usual, the commercial interests Got It Wrong. I do disagree with the complaints about Starship Troopers. I'd also note the similarity between Star Trek's Operation: Annihilate! with RAH's "The Puppet Masters". and signed off on the usage as acceptable to him. RAH was contacted before its production by Paramount's legal dept.
David Gerrold was purportedly unaware of any connection until long after the fact, but even he acked that the resemblance between Tribbles and RAH's "Flatcats" from The Rolling Stones is awfully close. You could nominally add "The Trouble With Tribbles" as being inspired by it. To the best of my knowledge (And I've been an SF and film buff for decades) the listings above are all the Heinlein stuff which as been adapted.
