Summary: Must have a sense of humour?
Review: If that is true then I certainly don't have because I thought this movie was simply not funny. Sure there are a couple of amusing moments, but if you throw enough mud some of it is bound to stick! If you saw the trailer then you will have already seen the best moments of the film. I know it's satire and I get the jokes - they're just not funny! If you like spoofs then you'll probably enjoy this, if you don't then steer clear.

Summary: Well, let's see...
Review: How many negative reviews this gets. I'm sure it will get quite a few, as anyone who thought the movie was good will be miffed enough to join in this idiotic cyber-tiff. First, let's establish something. Failure to appreciate this movie does not necessarily reflect on one's inability to appreciate satire; it reflects on one's not liking this movie. I thought it was a fairly decent movie, and it had some funny parts, but it was not even remotely deserving of the praise it got in the press. Sure, the acting was 2-d and the special effects were campy, but it was SUPPOSED to be that way! The central thing that requires evaluation is the humor, and as far as that goes, I thought the script was written rather poorly. There were a few good lines and moments, but, overall, there were way too many scenes which were only worthy of a grin, and not laugh-out-loud funny. If that's the case because of the 'brilliant subtlety,' then I think this movie is guilty of trying to wed two disparate approaches to the comedy which just don't work together. Sorry, it just wasn't that funny.

Summary: Very Good DVD
Review: This is another great film by Tim Burton. There are many famous actors in this one, which add to the humor. The picture and sound is great. My only question is that Amazon says there is a hidden menu page, and Uncut, Unrated Version Featuring Explicit Footage Not Seen In Theaters. Does anyone know how to get to these? If you do, please E-mail me.

Summary: Not for the Stupid
Review: Having spent an hour or so reading every review of this movie on the site, I have come to the conclusion that most of the people who did not like it, were simply not bright enough to "get it". Most of the humor in this movie is sophisticated satire and irony. i.e. - you need a brain to understand what the joke is. Unfortunately it seems that that leaves about 70% of the population out in the cold sort of speak. Also, a lot of the reviewers here trash the acting and imply that the big name actors were "only in it for the money", yet are unaware of the fact that most of those "big stars" clamored to be in this movie at lower pay scales than they are used to. Then they go on about how 2 dimensional or "broad" the acting is. Well, ..Duhhh! It's a cartoonish satirical comedy based on a series of bubblegum cards. It's *meant* to be that way. Finaly, a lot of those who hate this movie compare it unfavorably to (their favorites), ID4 or Armageddon or some such trash as that. Nuff said.

Summary: Good Wholesome Cheez
Review: So many people don't seem to get the joke. The movie is purposely cheezy, that is why much of it takes place in Las Vegas. I love watching the Mexican mariachi band play the national anthem ath the end. This movie is side-splitting.

Summary: Not much to this.
Review: This is basically a film that can be skipped. There is a funny part or two and some inventive special effects, but that's really about it. There are a lot of popular stars in this movie, but none of them stand out in their roles. I can see how some people could get a kick out of watching this, but overall I didn't find it to be that enjoyable at all. It didn't have much substance to it and just wasn't interesting.

Summary: Come on, people
Review: Yes, it's true - the story in Mars Attacks! is a bit far-fetched and it often seems very cheesy, but it's like that ON PURPOSE. A big part of this movie is a satire of cheesy "little green men from space" movies (such as Plan 9 From Outer Space). Tim Burton once again shows that he is one of the best directors around, lending this film a style totally unique and still totally Burton. The performances, for what they are, are good and the movie is quite funny. The special effects are done perfectly - yeah the aliens look like they're made of rubber, just how they should. If you take this movie for what it is and don't expect a masterpiece of cinema (although it is a triumph of style, direction, production, and art direction as all of Tim Burton's movies are) then you'll find a great little movie here.

Summary: Classic Burton
Review: My favorite movie is Casablanca, I have seen this movie, I am buying this movie. Draw your own conclusions.

Summary: .
Review: I'll give it an extra star for Tom Jones' truly amusing role, some good, cartoony effects, and the occasional Burton touch. That said, this is Burton's worst movie. It doesn't know quite what it wants to be, and in the end it isn't much of anything. It's vaguely entertaining on first viewing but after that its almost nauseating to even think about.

Summary: A waste of my time
Review: I saw the movie 2 years ago when I was in the States. When I heard about it the critics were full of praise for it, so I thought that it has got to be good and was even considering to buy it without having seen it first. When I saw the movie I was greatly disappointed, it truly was a waste of my time. The story is so lame and the acting is more than just bad. There were some moments that made me laugh but that happened only rarely. One can watch the movie once but then you will have had enough of it. It is bad and will Never be part of my video collection
