Mars Attacks!
Nice Planet. We'll Take It!
SEE! Stars that shine across the galaxy. Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito and a dozen more! SHRIEK! At mean, green invaders from the angry red planet! Armed with insta-fry ray guns, endowed with slimy, humungous brains-and enlivened with out-of-this-world bur state-of-the-art special effects. GASP! As the US legislature is overwhelmed. (Don't fear, we still have 2 out of 3 branches of the government working for us, and that ain't bad!) THRILL! As Earth fights back with an unexpected weapon. Take that, Martians!

Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito play a great role in this older satire invasion from Mars. This quirky science fiction comedy is a characteristic feature by iconoclastic director Tim Burton, known to moviegoers for Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The storyline affectionately harkens back to the deadpan sincerity of such '50s and '60s science-fiction films as The Day the Earth Stood Still and War of the Worlds. Flying saucers have been reliably seen over the capitals of the world, and the whole world awaits with bated breath to see what will happen.It's supposed to be corny... - aBrickInTheWall
That's the whole idea... With a star-studded cast on a playful romp along the lines of a Mel Brooks spoof, it was kind of fun to not be so serious for a change.
Traded a few good laughs for a couple of hours of my time, no big deal. And, I got to see some present stars a whole lot younger than they are now. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before... (Probably a good thing, because country-music has the same effect on my head too...)Mars Attacks! - lashish
Mars Attacks is silly.Yes.Aside from the silliness,where else are you going to get such a star studded line-up to do a movie like this.HOLLYWOOD.....I think when they were about to produce this movie it wasn't at all about martians or anything close to that.It was a epic drama piece.I'm the office temp who laced the writers coffee with acid that morning and voila "Mars Attacks".
I will say this however,I was thouroughly entertained throughout the film.It was light very easy to watch,and had a sense of humour that most comedies couldn't reach if they owned a step ladder.No there won't be any golden globes or Oscars for this one,but if you want to smile for just under 2 hours,I strongly recommend this movie.
