Mars Attacks! Ratings & Reviews
- O5 days agoNever seen until recently. Its fun, campy, and ridiculously off kilter. Expecting anything else is your fault. Its not a “bad” movie, it’s just exactly what it tried to be. Definitely a fun movie I will come back to from time to time.

- Cyndria29 October 2025Hilarious 😂! Lots of scenes I didn't remember. The aliens were jerks had me laughing so hard. Especially the scene when he shock the presidents hand. Or when the aliens rolled around the translator machine saying "we come in peace". A classic to watch everytime your in the mood for weird, creepy funny sci-fi.
- pipanni8 September 2025A huge cast of well known stars have a lot of fun with this movie, and fortunately the viewer is taken along for the ride. Lots of funny memorable scenes.
- CMoreMovies11 March 2026Plenty of fun cameos in an irreverent, destructive tale of unprovoked invasion, sending Earth's silly little idiocracies into collective tailspins.
- Robert Hampton7 March 2026I love the polka. It KILLS me. 😜

- Rockitxx3 December 2025It's a great spoof on '50s Sci-fi horror
- Gerard White1 March 2026Hilarious
- BRANDON JAMES MCCOLLOUGH26 February 2026Mars Attacks! is pure ’90s chaos in the best way. The all‑star cast, the over‑the‑top humor, and the unapologetically cartoonish tone make it a cult classic that still hits the spot.
- Mischa18 February 2026Loved this movie when it came out. Watched it recently and still laughed quite a bit. Mehp mehp.
- Jonathan Moriarity16 February 2026My favorite Burton movie, for sure.
