O2D This movie is considered one of the worst of all time.Although i don't completely disagree,I can honestly say it's probably the best movie I have reviewed so far. I can't find any definitive proof but I'm pretty sure this was made for TV.There are little breaks,it's 81 minutes and not rated and it's just very poorly made.All made for TV trademarks. The best part of the movie is Pia Zadora(who???) in the role of a lifetime as Girmar,the emotionless Martian child. So the Martians are advanced enough that they receive earth(American) TV and they understand and speak English. Yet they are dumb enough to think Santa Claus is what their planet needs. There's lots of terrible acting and plot holes. The Martians abduct Santa at gunpoint(the guns are hilarious and they never shoot anything),they also take 2 children so they won't be able to tell anyone what happened to Santa.Two seconds after they leave earth,the entire world knows Martians did it. They use stock US military footage for the space force that goes after the Martians,you know...the United States Space Force....... There are a couple Batman-esque "Bang,Pow" fights to counter the rambling dialogues.It's not enough to save the movie but it's something. There are apparently about 9 people on Mars,yet when one puts on Santa's spare costume,half of them think he really is Santa. The abducted children never cry or complain or ask for their mommy or to go home.They also quickly memorize all the Martians names,an amazing feat. Santa is happy and making really bad jokes the whole time and the name is a total lie.Santa Claus does nothing but make toys.At one point,the kids shoot bubbles at one Martian but that's it. At the end he just says goodbye and they leave. If you love terrible movies,you must see this. If you value your time, you shouldn't have even read this review.

loriwallace-93796 Made in 1964 this film is a cult classic. Is it a great film? No! Is it fun to watch? Absolutely. Should you see? Of course. Is it safe for children? Yes. The plot of this film is that the children of Mars are in some sort of stupor. When a father goes to the supreme leader about the problems his children are having the leader tell s them that "Children are no longer Children on Mars". Eventually the Martians are told about how on earth they have Christmas and Santa Claus. The Martians then set out to kidnap Santa and they do along with 2 children. Santa however is facing a problem when he gets on Mars because one the Martians does not approve of his arrival. If your a child of the 1970's then chances are you have seen this film. It is fun to watch. You can't help but to laugh at the cheap looking "Saturday Morning Television" special effects.

burnadrenaline This movie is mostly just boring, hence the low rating. However, there are some super lame special effects that make for some unintentional comedy. Basically, martian children are bored and boring. They even need sleep spray to get them to sleep. So the martian council asks some super old guy what to do. The answer...Santa Claus! They don't have one, so they kidnap one! This movie wins points from me because it's such an absurd concept that the fact that it even exists is somewhat novel. You get about what you would expect from this movie. Including (but not limited to) Santa Claus fighting people, lasers, low-budget robots, and one of the worst excuses for a polar bear costume I've ever seen. Seriously, that is one of the most remarkable parts of the movie. Essentially, one of the worst things a movie can be is boring, and man is this movie boring. Almost (not quite) on the level of Gigli. However, humor, however unintentional, saves it from being quite that bad.

framptonhollis People always give the "greatest movie ever" label to more basic films like "Citizen Kane" or "The Godfather", but, when I looked over the humongous list of films that I've seen, the one that truly impacted me the most was "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians".The true emotional impact of this funny, entertaining, and truly beautiful film cannot match that of any other film. This is the stuff that would make Truffaut proud! I mean, let's be honest, after watching "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians", Fellini looks pretty terrible, right? I mean, sure, his films have intelligent scripts, strong emotional cores, and playful humor, but they are...lifeless. At least when being compared to this excellent work.I think that we should change dictionaries so that when you look up "brilliant" you just see a poster for this film. That just makes sense, right?Are these sarcastic reviews not funny anymore? Yes. But that doesn't stop me from doing them!
