Review of Mars Attacks! (1996) by Aj V — 08 Jul 2011
I can never decide whether this movie is so bad it's good, or if it's just plain horrible. Burton is an excellent director, and this movie is supposed to be an homage to the sci-fi films he grew up with.
It comes off as more of a spoof of those films instead, with all it's absurdity. It's hard to believe that so many A list stars wanted to be involved in this film, but like the audience, they expected a brilliant film from Burton.
If this movie would have toned down on the special effects, had a simpler storyline, and maybe not so many big stars, it could have been great.
