2/5
"Nothing much is funny in
Mars Attacks!
, whose mildly amusing
War of the Worlds
story can best be described as... Mars attacks."

Christopher Null
B-
"It has a silly juvenile appeal in its unrelenting and subversive camp satire of the pop culture scene."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
3/10
"A most unpleasant surprise to all those who based their expectations on Burton's previous work."

2/4
"A stillborn affair that could have been -- and should have been -- a whole lot hipper and funnier."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3/4
"While
Mars Attacks!
may not have been as good as it could have been, it is definitely one of the better sci-fi flicks to have headed our way in quite a while."

James O'Ehley
4/5
"A frantic, funny love letter to an era of entertainment gone by, but also a top-notch example of modern comedy."
Netflix
James Rocchi
3/4
"
Mars Attacks!
is packed with memorable sights and hilariously ridiculous ideas."
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
low 0 out of -4..+4

2/4
"
Mars Attacks!
is not so much a spoof of 'B' science fiction films as it is an homage to them. But those 'B' films were usually bad, and this homage to them suffers for the same reasons."
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
3.5/4
"A knowing and loving tribute to those cheesy B-movies."

Michael Dequina
2/5
"Como parodiar algo que já não se levava muito a sério originalmente?"
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
4/5
"Burton is at his funniest when the Martians are zapping away like brats playing a video game."

Rob Gonsalves
1/4
"A very disappointing effort by director Tim Burton."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
B
"This may not be the best or funniest effort by Burton. It is his biggest, and a lot of fun, too."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
"A skewed marriage of mainstream pop and Burton's own eccentricity"
