Dallas Observer - Unnamed
Part homage and part demolition job, Mars Attacks! is perhaps the funniest piece of giddy schlock heartlessness ever committed to film.
83
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
In its nothing's-quite-at-stake way, Mars Attacks! has Tim Burton's flaked-out spirit -- it makes you feel like a very knowing 8-year-old, seeing through the artifice yet believing in it at the same time.
80
Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
I'm not sure what it all means, but, as in Ed Wood, Burton's visual flair and affection for the characters make it fun.
78
Austin Chronicle - Unnamed
A holiday film with no conscience whatsoever, Mars Attacks! will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it definitely will make you wonder about Earth's ability to defend itself in the face of higher life forms.
70
Time - Richard Schickel
Perhaps they don't create quite enough deeply funny earthlings to go around, but a thoroughly meanspirited big-budget movie is always a treasurable rarity. And those little guys from far away are a hoot. [30 Dec 1996]
