Has a huge cast that all are pretty much there to get zapped to death. While the heroes are people you would least expect out of the cast. I like the Jim Brown character though who is a former boxer who takes on the aliens with his fists. While Lukas Haas and his Grandma have an odd but effective way to take on the aliens. Nicholson's President is funny but one note. No matter what he just wants to make peace with the aliens even after they showed many times they don't want peace. Mars Attacks is hated by many but I always enjoyed it. Since it conveniently came out the same year as ID4; it sort of feels like a spoof to it. However ID4 wasn't as wasteful to it's impressive ensemble.

Based on the Topps trading card property, the world gets visited - and invaded - by Martians. The cast is VERY impressive with Jack Nicholson playing dual roles along with Glenn Close, Tom Jones, Jim Brown, Martin Short, Danny DeVito, Michael J. Fox, Annette Bening, Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, Rod Steiger and many many more. Plenty of action and comedy, along with a cheer out loud moment when the aliens blow up Congress. It gets an 8 out of 10.

Fleets of stainless steel flying saucers deliver a race of comically short, hideous alien killjoys to Earth, where they promote peace and brotherhood but then immediately set to disintegrating anything that moves. That includes most of the absurdly star-studded cast, including Jack Nicholson (in two More

Good watch, could watch again, but it's hard to honestly recommend.

This is one of those movies that is good because it is bad, whether or not that is done on purpose, for the purposes of parody. Otherwise it's just a good old jump in "The Way Back Machine" to see a litany of cameos or cheap par More

**A film full of black humor, and for that very reason difficult to digest for many people.**

Black humor is doomed to be understood by very few, and this film, which is drenched in black humor from beginning to end, paid the price, becoming a minor failure. I believe that, even today, it is one More
