The original bubble gum cards are now valuable Baby Boomer collectibles. This comedy homage by Tim Burton takes the story line to the extreme. The film owes a great deal to the 50's Sci-Fi classic "Earth vs. the flying saucers" and if possible I'd watch that first. Everyone looks as if they're having fun doing this, especially Jack Nicholson in a dual role and Glenn Close. Some odd casting in this cameo-laden epic falls flat, the slapstick of Martin Short, a loony performance by Sarah Jessica Parker and a wooden Pierce Brosnan looking lost, get too much screen time. Danny DeVito mails in his typical character schtick. A young Natalie Portman curiously wanders through the film kind of pointlessly as if she's looking for a way to get back to her role in Leon the Professional and can't do it fast enough. The Martians are the best part of the movie, especially Lisa Marie, then Tim Burtons girl friend. Lucas Haas is perfect as the hero of it all and a shout out to Sylvia Sidney as "Grandma", her last role in a film career that spanned almost 70 years. Read full review

"Mars Attacks" is a GREAT movie. These aliens don't "come in peace," they start "attacking" first thing. There's lots of action and the special effects are very well done for it's time. I saw this movie ages ago and wanted to see it again but it's never shown on TV. It's better than I remembered; aliens transplanting various heads on various bodies is both weird AND funny. People trying to escape the Alien's carnage gets a bit long near the movie's end, but how the Aliens are killed is unusual and ridiculously funny.

This movie was great! Lots of laughter, lots of suspense, and generally very entertaining. It is also star-studded. Very good movie with lots of laughs.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL SPOOF ON ALL 1950's THROUGH 1960's HORROR MOVIES. AS A FAN OF EARLY (1910--1960's) COUNTRY MUSIC SLIM WHITMAN' MUSIC IS THE PERFECT CHOICE TO KILL MARTINS, AND THE LISTENING PLEASURE OF MOST COUNTRY MUSIC LOVERS.
