Movie Reviews of Mars Needs Women
Movie Review: Like watching paint dry...
Summary: 2 Stars
... except that I think that I'm being unfair to paint. There are movies like Plan 9 From Outer Space that are so bad they're good. There are movies like Monster-a-Go-Go that are so bad they're simply torture. But Mars Needs Women is a whole new kind of bad: it's a movie which is so incredibly boring that you'll need some heavy stimulants to stay awake through it all. This film is only for the hardest of the hard-core bad movie buffs, and the only reason to watch it is to say that you did. If you're in this category, my advice is to watch it for 20 minutes, do something else more interesting (you won't have any trouble finding something -- even staring off into space would do it) and then watch another 20 minutes etc. until you're done with it. I give it one extra star because I actually liked what little plot there was -- properly edited, it would have made a decent half-hour movie. I sleep now.Movie Review: An exploitation movie
Summary: 2 Stars
No they are not exploiting women; they are exploiting Tommy Kirk. Filmed in Texas it may have worked if they had got the so to be governor Kinky Freedman instead.
Looks like mars has ran out of "Y"; "Why because we like you." No not that "Y" the "Y" chromosome. Hence the lack of female companion ship. So they first try is pilfering with a transponder. All they get leftovers. Looks like they will just have to go in person to pick the ideal subjects.
Will Martian Fellow #1 (Tommy Kirk) gain a conscious before the movie ends?
Movie Review: Good to see Tommy Kirk
Summary: 2 Stars
It is good to see Tommy Kirk working in a film, but not exactly this film. Pretty sad movie and industry to use the likes of once great teenage actor, Disney's Tommy Kirk, in this type of film. Tommy Kirk is an actor who just got too old for his own image. That is sad. This movie is sad or should I just say bad.Movie Review: ... but do we need this movie?
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a fan of SF B-movies but this is a rather dull one. I tried hard to keep my eyes open <yawn>. If, then it's only worth because of the X-15 and other airplanes stock footages and of (Batgirl) Yvonne Craig. At least the DVD is a bargain.Movie Review: Yeah, yeah, and Soylent Green is people...
Summary: 1 Stars
When the first minute of the movie involves a bad trick-cut of a woman disappearing during a tennis match, you know you're in for it.
I admit I have seen this movie twice. Not because it was actually a good movie- far from it!- but because I felt the need to spread the joy to my friends; the joy that is Tommy Kirk's alien colleague explaining, completely deadpan, how great it would be for their woman-finding mission if one of the candidates was well-versed in sex and genetics, 'both fundamentally and as it applies to space!'
I give this one star because z-movies deserve nothing more. If they are truly classics, as this one's title suggests, one star is a badge of honour. MNW does not dissappoint in the cheese department and I was cackling out loud through most of it (and howling by the climax).
WARNING: Lots of stock footage here, folks. Many Amazon viewers have mentioned how completely boring this movie was, most of which was due to a tiny tic in the director's brain that must have repeated to him over and over: "I've got ten minutes of footage of a plane taking off, and by gum, I'm going to USE it!!"
The premise, title, acting, plot and dialogue completely make up for this in my opinion, but feel free to fast-forward through the following scenes:
-The strip-tease that isn't really
-Hypnotization! (actually all the hypnotizing made me want to fall asleep)
-Another strip-tease
-A large part of a football game
-Any scene with a plane
The sad thing is, there is some sub-decent acting and intruiging symbolism buried under all the nonsense and wonderfully horrendous exposition. However, the plot goes all over the place and can't decide whether its own characters are rapists, lechers or just lonely, and ends up being all three at times(creepily enough).
Yes, it might be a little slow in patches, but those priding themselves on B-movie stamina should definitely take this one for a ride. All the elements are here: Laughably quotable dialogue, wooden acting, bizarre views on sex (all the more intruiging considering the lead, Tommy Kirk, was ousted from Disney for being supposedly gay), questionable science, misplaced 'drama', clumsy editing, bizarre leaps of logic not seen since 'Plan 9', huge gaping plot holes, bad special effects, incredible amounts of pure Swiss cheese and a phrase to rival that of "Soylent green is people" in terms of yelling value.
This one is golden. And having to fast-forward the nude-less so-called strip-tease just makes it funnier.
