Summary: Waste of time!
Review: When I first saw this movie in the theater I enjoyed it. I was pretty anxious to get it on video and I did but it turned out to be a crummy movie! Yes, it does have good acting, good music by Danny Elfman, and a great all-star cast. But what else can I say this movie is pretty much dumb and it does make fun of Independence Day and Close Encounters of the Third Kind but that's not the reason why I don't like it. The reason why I don't like it is because it's cheesy, boring, and dumb. I am going to throw away my Mars Attacks video because it's stupid. I have no reason to put it in my movie collection. So whatever you do if you hadn't seen this movie yet, please do not rent it. You might be a little disappointed. It may be enjoyable for little kids but not adults. Adults might find it boring. Thanks for reading! - Ryan

Summary: What can be said....
Review: Don't read too much into this film. It just is what it is. But; take a look at that cast list! This movie is fun, and don't think that it should be more then that. Makes a great movie night when shown with ID4. A key movie for any burton fan.

Summary: The most misunderstood movie of all-time
Review: I am in the vast minority of people who love this movie. Let me preface this review by saying that I am not a fan of cheesey 50s sci-fi. I love great films like Seven Samurai, Citizen Kane and all things Hitchcock. But this movie is right there with some of the great movies on my list of favorites. To sum it up, this is the movie that every 12 year old boy wished to see their entire childhood. This movie sums up how I spent the time holed up in my room playing with my toys. The bad guys invaded, and they blew everybody away. Why? Because it was fun! It was the same story when I played in the yard. My G.I. Joe's invaded the local ant hill and ran over every ant they could find. I also spent a lot of time building models... so I could blow them up with fire crackers! A lot of people just don't get it. "Why did a bird make them attack?" It was just a fun target to shoot at! This movie is about goofy looking aliens that want nothing more than to blow everything away in the most entertaining ways possible. It's absolutely ridiculous! It's great! The adults try to solve everything with reason and peace. Naturally it's the kids who end up the heros in the end. "Don't run. We are your friends."

Summary: Hollywood Attacks
Review: "Mars Attacks!" a film by director Tim Burton, was like a 1996 who's who of the movie industry. Stars were not attracted by a script that showed high art or the greatest feat of the screen writers guild, but rather the chance to work on a fun movie with an amazing director. "Mars Attacks!" is viually appealing, special effects were state of the art for the time of the movie, and the concept built around a "Topps" trading card set was a wonderful parody of 1950's sci-fi/ horror movies. The all star cast: Jack Nicholson, Annete Bennning, Michial J. Fox, Glenn Closse, Natalie Portman and Tom Jones (to name a few), were all in rare and wonderfully funny form. Unlike the majority of director Tim Burton's work, this film is by no means "dark," but both funny and satirical at the same time. The movie is well made, fast paced, funny and a feast for the eyes. This is by no means high art (or even middle art for that matter), but worth a watch. A definite must for any Burton fan, or fan of those cheesy old sci-fi movies that it is poking fun at.

Summary: Horrible
Review: This movie was a horrible display of everything. and I KNOW that the special effects and the plot were supposed to be campy but THE MOVIE SUCKED!!!! it was a pathetic excuse for a movie. I subjected myself to this torture not once, but twice and i still didn't find it funny!

Summary: A misunderstood classic!
Review: From the "Plan 9 from Outer Space" space ship scene to the towering alien temptress, whose bouffanted do hides her large brain stem (in case you didn't know why her hair was so big), this classic sci-fi film is non stop super satire and belly laughs from beginning to end. If you love Tim Burton, this is a must have for your collection!

Summary: Just an alright movie. Good for kicks.
Review: I don't understand why so many people trash it. This movie is by no means hilarious, but it is cute. The all star cast was an interesting touch. I mostly found it funny because after the aliens have zapped almost everybody in the movie, congress (or whoever they were) still thought there was a chance that the aliens were friendly. I am not a fan of Tim Burton whatsoever. In fact, this is ONLY Tim Burton movie I like. I have recently seen Sleepy Hollow and hated it with a burning passion. Knowing this, I wasn't too sure about this movie, but the plot sounded interesting. If you have a boring day and need to kill some time, this movie really isn't so bad. It's NOT the best thing ever, but I would rather watch this than many other movies. It's just a rip on old sci fi UFO movies, and has a light sense of humor. Nothing more than a parody really. More of just a cute movie than anything else. I still love the guns the aliens have. They look like squirt guns! Try it out and see what you think. The worst thing that could happen is you wasted your rental cost.

Summary: Save Yourself !!
Review: I went to this with my wife, and as we left I told her, " I'm sorry. I owe you THREE Chick flicks." It was that bad. I have to list this as ( Honestly ! ) the worst movie I've ever seen. I loved the farts in "Blazing Saddles", but this movie really, really is BAD. - Chuck

Summary: "Independence Day" if everybody had been a total moron
Review: There are certain things out there you simply cannot make humorous; one of them is the destruction of Earth, Douglas Adams notwithstanding.
If there was ever a movie that needed a "Mystery Science Theater 3000" smart-aleck commentary overlay, this is it. Nobody is worth rooting for, not the kid who thinks the Martians are making "the international sign of the doughnut" in their initial broadcast to Earth and thinks we should all live in teepees, not the trigger-happy general who gets shrunken by the Martians and then stepped on, not even the senile grandmother who accidentally discovers that Slim Whitman music causes the Martians' heads to explode. For a film that's supposedly set in the late 1990s, the military equipment featured is from the 1950s. It's a classic example of what James Blish called the Idiot Plot, and would slap you in the face repeatedly while you watch it if it could.
