VHS Movie Reviews of Mars Attacks!
Movie Review: mars attacks
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie is always funny and we get a kick out of watching it. It was sent in a timely manner and arrived on time. It is good too to do business with Amazon and the people that they have registered too. I have had no problems with any of my orders. J. A. HarrisMovie Review: Mars Attacks!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first I thought it was dumb, then I thought it was awsome!
This has many actors in it and many funny parts.
Including: Many are incinerated. Martians kill congress and the president. S.J.P. loses her body and so does Pierce Brosnan. Rod Steiger is shrunk and then squashed. Danny DeVito offers a martian a watch. Jim Brown gets into a boxing match with Martians. Christina Applegate is incinerated while having sex. Michael J. Fox is incinerated and S.J.P. is left holding his hand, which is later used in the Martian's experiments. Jack Black is incinerated while surrending to a Martian. (SUCKER!) Brian Haley's UZI is incinerated. The dog is incinerated. A bird in incinerated.

Summary: 2 Stars
Yeah, I get that Tim Burton's star studded MARS ATTACKS! is a spoof of 1950's sci-fi movies but I still don't find this to be a very amusing film. And I know it is all comic book violence/black comedy but there is still way too high of a body count (both Martian and Earthling) for me. Do I personally find it amusing when a trailer dwelling Kansas couple watches their soldier son get vaporized on live television? Er No. Or when a group of Cub Scouts are crushed by the Washington Monument? No again. I even have to say no to the enjoyment value of members of Congress being assassinated with ray guns while the president is killed in a manner reminiscent of the chest bursting scene in ALIEN. Those are just some samples of the Earthling casualties. And when the Martians' heads begin to explode after hearing a certain type of music they leave quite an unpleasant gooey green substance in their wake. Suffice it to say that this one is not for the kiddies. Since this "comedy" lacks clever dialogue or amusing situations I can't recommend it for the adults either.

I ordered the CD for my daughter, we watched it and had a hilarious time, since watching it we've seen it over and over again.
Summary of Mars Attacks!
It's enlightening to view Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! as his twisted satire of the blockbuster film Independence Day, which was released earlier the same year, although the movies were in production simultaneously. Burton's eye-popping, schlock tribute to 1950s UFO movies actually plays better on video than it did in theaters. The idea of invading aliens ray gunning the big-name movie stars in the cast is a cleverly subversive one, and the bulb-headed, funny-sounding animated Martians are pretty nifty, but it all seemed to be spread thin on the big screen. On video, however, the movie's kooky humor seems a bit more concentrated. The Earth actors (most of whom get zapped or kidnapped for alien science experiments) include Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Martin Short, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rod Steiger, Michael J. Fox, Lukas Haas, Jim Brown, Tom Jones, and Pam Grier. The digital video disc features an isolated track for Danny Elfman's score, as well as a few other clever and nasty little Martian surprises. --Jim EmersonComedy Video
