Mars Attacks! (1996)
Low level violence
AWAKE EARTHLINGS! It's later than you think. Don't miss this hilarious frenzy as Tim Burton (Batman, Beetlejuice) directs - and Mars Attacks! SEE! Stars that shine across the galaxy. Jack Nicholson (in a dual role), 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 but state-of-the-art special effects. GASP! As the U.S. 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!

This is a classic sci-fi spoof that is right up there with the other great movie spoofs. I think the first half, up to when they try the nuke the mothership, is terrific, afer that is slows up a bit.

Not funny, every star is playing their alter egos and the Martians are, well, just pathetic. Their voices drove me insane after a while, a bit like the chipmunks.
Age has definitely wearied this film.

Boring spoof, with jokes that fall flat and performances that are over the top.

Great movie and really hasn't dated - Tim Burton funniness in the darkly humourous vein of Willy Wonka

Tim Burton at his best. As a big fan of 50s sci-fi films, I found this DVD incredibly funny and worth repeated viewings.

Didn't get it. The human performances were pretty awful, even given the retro formula. 1 star for the cute vicious martians though...

I don't know what to make of this movie. The movie had a dream of cast members but the acting stank and the movie seemed like it was tongue in cheekly bad, but it really was bad it was terrible. One to avoid at all costs.

Tim Burton does it again. I must say the best role is Tom Jones as himself. I never knew the man was so funny.

Tim Burton at his best. This so funny I can watch it again and again and again, and I must confess I have.

A fabulous spoof with a fabulous cast. Watch out for Jack Nicholson's second character. Fantastic moments - you'll want to watch it again!!!
