Second viewing; first viewing with original audio; previously viewed with Portuguese dubbing on August 1, 2000.
Based on the trading card series released in 1962.
Martians land on the U.S.A. and are at first amicably received by the U.S.A. government. A series of incidents leave the American President in doubt about the aliens' real intentions.
A rather agreeable film. Some of it is very funny, but most of it is just mildly so. The big problem with this film is that TV, VHS and lately digital media have widely exposed 50s and 60s science fiction and turned it into an inexhaustible source of fun for modern audiences; any parody or "tribute" will pale in comparison. Aside from that I can't find anything necessarily wrong with the movie.
Rating: 60 (down from 65)
