I catched it on tv the other day, i cant believe me it scared me as a little kid , also I dindn t remember how many big names were in this movie and(spoilers) …they all get killed 
.
So, do you like it or hate it?
Oh, i saw this movie when I was really young. Watching this movie made me fear aliens when I was a little kid. NOw I can watch it again and enjoy it.
I remember mars attacks, i LOVED that movie when i was kid, however, i don’t remember much then or even now. The movie that feared me, apparently according to my dad, was Coneheads.
Mars Attacks is fantastic! I have to rewatch it sometime soon.
I wanted to see that movie when i was little but my parents wouldn´t let me see it 
I personally don’t care for it. I’m 100% for comedy, and 5000000000% for Tim Burton, but this movie just didn’t work on me.
I remembered I had nightmares about the aliens when they first starting popping their guns out and shooting.
Mars Attacks was okay as a general idea, but in execution it was a bit too ham-handed and derisive of the material it spoofed. Ed Wood was a much more affectionate look at similar material, and IMO is one of Tim Burton’s best films. It’s almost like Mars Attacks was a backup plan in case Ed Wood performed poorly at the box office, which it unfortunately did. Lisa Marie’s “glide walk” was a nifty highlight of Mars Attacks, though!
^Ed Wood? I’ll check up on that. I’d like to see a better movie than Mars Attacks. I realize it was a spoof, but it really was just too frivolous for me. It was purely spoof, with no other purpose. I didn’t exactly like it.
Great, IV! Ed Wood is in glorious black-and-white, and it well deserved the awards it won (Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi and Rick Baker for make-up).
As for Mars Attacks, another neat element was that the Martians’ ray-beams had a sound effect similar to that used in George Pal’s War of the Worlds (1953).
Tim Burton’s movies and any movies that imitate Tim Burton movies are bad.
Now thats a very elaborated and logical argument isnt it? 
I just think it’s silly for people to be fans of the guy who gave us the worst Christmas movie ever.
I dont think that a nightmare before christmas is the worst christmas movie ever , i will agree however on that its very overated, still i think its silly to judge a director just for one movie , have you even watch mars attacks? what about Batman or batman vs the penguin?
I completely disagree. MA is bad, but it’s supposed to be. Now TNBC is not bad. The entire point was how overly-commercialized Christmas is, which I completely agree with. And you could argue that is was a Halloween movie. Now, I think Beetlejuice is okay and the original Batman is the stuff. You’re entitled to your opinion, but your disliking of something does not make it “bad”. It just means it’s not your taste.
I thought Mars Attacks! was a brilliant film. There’s so much I want to say about it.
For one thing, a film that was based on various packs of bubblegum cards has no reason to be this entertaining. But it was.
I urge those who are interested to check out the cards that inspired the film as well as the follow-up Dinosaurs Attack! I do caution those who seek out these sets as they are very gory an more than a bit disturbing. Even when I first laid eyes upon them at the age of 20 I found them to be a bit too much to take in all at once.
For another thing, this film hit all the key notes for me. It was a pitch-perfect send-up of the genre it paid homage to while being a more than a little frightening for the under-13 set. Not to mention that due to timing it also functioned as the yin to Independence Day’s yang and therefore became a somewhat prescient parody of the upcoming trend in disaster porn films like Armageddon, Deep Impact, The Day After Tomorrow, War of the Worlds and coming full circle with 2012.
Now I have to mention the score. I could go on for quite some time about the score. It’s such a beautiful thing. One of Elfman’s finest. The opening cue is gorgeous. The clanking metal, the ethereal yet hostile choir, the eerie theremin.
Then we get great tracks like the one where the Martians receive the message from the White House. Towards the end of that scene we see one of the leading Martians flipping through old Playboy magazines. This is accompanied by a slinky and somewhat sleazy but very fitting sax riff over the pulsating sound of a rock organ which hands off to screaming synths and theremin when the Martians decide it’s high time for a little ungodly experimentation with Earth biology.
Let’s not forget the cue that goes along with the Martians landing in Nevada. Pahrump to be exact (nice shout out for fans of Art Bell and Coast to Coast AM). We see the Martians make a curious gesture twice. The gesture is done just before the massacre and once again after where it’s paired with a somewhat triumphant yet creepy melody. This is actually a musical cue that’s revisited several times in the film. When Paris burns we hear a very harsh variation of the melody. And of course the melody’s intent and the Martians’ gesture is finally revealed during the “truce” with the President. It’s then that those with keen ears and a passion for connecting the dots will see everything come together. The melody is the Martian victory anthem and the gesture is a representation of their conquering flag.
This was back when Burton and Elfman really seemed to be truly in sync with each other. Now it seems that both are just kind of going through the motions on collaborations.
A lot of the lines are just gut-bustingly funny in my opinion. “For dark is the suede that mows like a harvest” or “We’ve still got 2 out of 3 branches of government, and that ain’t bad!” or “They just made the international sign of the doughnut!”
References to Earth Vs The Flying Saucers, Dr. Strangelove, and even a few nods to the actual lives of the celebrities playing the characters made this film a real treat. It’s too bad Burton thinks that anyone who tells him they like the film is lying to him. If you go by what Chris Rock says anyway.
I do agree that Ed Wood is almost certainly Burton’s finest. But this one sure is great.
Great points, aerostarmonk! Yes, the “2 out of 3” line was good, but Nicholson’s delivery took a lot of shine off it for me. Actually, Nicholson has been hit or miss since Terms of Endearment. And frankly, I think he’s the biggest drawback of Burton’s first Batman film–which should have been called Joker. Also, Glenn Close played it way too vaudeville, and she wasn’t alone. A lot of that could be due to Burton’s direction of the actors, but it could be their own personal lack of understanding/appreciating the material (50s sci-fi movie = bad, BAD!). Probably my favorite performance in Mars Attacks is Pierce Brosnan in the “Richard Carlson” role.
When i was 6(?), i think i laughed with the gore. But, then again, i can’t remember much from it, i’m not sure if it was true then to what i can remember now.
I seriously need to watch this again.
Yeah, I remember this movie. If I learned anything from it, it’s that the Indian Love Call will make an alien’s head explode.
