Robert P @Superbad Sep 12, 2026 Mars Attacks = a *3* star Movie See more Itsnotrightyouknow M @justmyopinionasalways Sep 5, 2026 This for me is one of the forgotten brilliant film. It was a delight to watch and I like to see watch it. I did hear that the script was not looked on by the Hollywood elite as getting involved with, but then it seems jack Nicholson thought it would be a fun film, and then everyone signed up. It's a film that if you have you will from time to time go back and laugh at again. See more TheFilmCritics @TheFilmCritics Aug 30, 2026 When aliens arrive with flying saucers and a taste for mass destruction, Mars Attacks! turns invasion cinema into a gleefully anarchic joke. Tim Burton’s garish homage to 1950s sci-fi is packed with an all-star cast clearly enjoying the chance to play broad, ridiculous caricatures, with Jack Nicholson particularly memorable in his dual role. Beneath the shrieking aliens and cartoonish mayhem lies a sharp satire of political posturing, media hysteria, celebrity culture, and human arrogance. The film’s biggest weakness is its scattershot structure: too many characters and abruptly shifting storylines make it feel episodic, while the deliberately exaggerated performances leave little room for emotional investment. Its relentless weirdness can also become exhausting, but that same excess gives the movie its distinctive charm. Messy yet imaginative, Mars Attacks! remains an enjoyably cynical blast of extraterrestrial lunacy.

I honestly don't understand the poor reviews. It has such great re-watchability. See more P O @Old-school Aug 13, 2026 20 years later now and it's a classic that Hollywood could never create today. Laughing so much as they say today LMAO. We need Martians to drain the swamp. See more Priya C @Sci-FiTrekkie Aug 11, 2026 I kept hearing about this film among science fiction enthusiasts and finally got to give it a try. I felt the film was a very bland mess. There’s some humor (not a lot) that was somewhat funny but overall I didn’t feel anything while watching this. I know that it’s supposed to be satire, but it just felt badly done. There’s a lot of A-list actors here who sadly aren’t given much to work with. The only elements of the film I enjoyed the most were the design of the Martians, their language, machines, and the ending (which was creative). See more Read all reviews
