By Andrew Wright (312) for rec.arts.movies.reviews (2,454) on 01 Jan 2000

Just when you're about to give up hope, suddenly the aliens land, the gags start flying faster and faster, and the movie gets great in a hurry…

By Mark R. Leeper (892) for rec.arts.movies.reviews (2,454) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of Mars Attacks! (1996)

By Chris Wright (3) for Boston Phoenix (1,372) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of Mars Attacks! (1996)

By Elspeth Haughton (26) for Apollo Guide (1,430) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of Mars Attacks! (1996)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Examiner (1,621) on 10 Jan 1998
