Review of Mars Attacks! (1996) by Mike L — 10 Feb 2018

$100 million that could've been spent curing cancer instead gave me cancer from watching this awful, sadistic movie. There were too many short stories to keep track of, jokes that frequently fell flat, and a conclusion that fails to tie it all together to make this black comedy ultimately work. At the very LEAST have the martian invasion be explained away by a simple miscommunication of the translator, and then the survivors could share a laugh and drink cheap champagne with the martians with piles of skeleton bones strewn across the screen. But no, there's no funny explanation, no explanation at all. It's just a garbage flick.

At least Tom Jones survived the invasion.
