since he directed Batman Tim Burton has long been one of my favorite directors, and while I consider Mars Attack to be a so-so film it's still leagues above his more recent out put. Given the lack of story other than Martians invading earth the original film felt too long so the shorter length here improves the film greatly. However the inclusion of characters that seemingly don't go anywhere is a problem that could have maybe been addressed and I've never cared for Jack Nicholson’s Art Land character. finally being a Brit the removal of Tom Jones is just scandalous :)

the technical side to this edit is flawless and like with many fanedits it was great revisiting a film that I wouldn't have thought about re-watching again.

Thanks for the honest review.

I've left the majority of the cast in, but chose to do so in more of a cameo fashion. They don't get a chance to get a back story, and are therefore just there to move things along, like any other minor character.

Decent edit. Biggest problem was that a lot of characters were left very underdeveloped; a lot of focus was on the White House characters, but we didn't really get to know Annette Bening or Lukas Haas that well. I think it all went by a bit too fast. But that said, it was still very entertaining and a lot of the best lines were kept in (while a lot of the bad ones were removed).

Also, was I the only one who couldn't hear everything all that clearly? There was a slight delay between the audio and video, and sometimes the music was so loud it made some of the dialogue inaudible.

Well
I saw this Fanedit along time ago, and I didn't made a review
So, I'll make it now

Mars Attacks! is one of my fav childhood movies, I still enjoy it as an adult
Now, what I can say is that, this Fanedit is very clever
Giving more leadership to a character who was almost a wasted character until the end is not something that I see very often. I have to admit that all that subplots in the Theatrical release are not the big thing. This Fanedit fixes all the troubles that had the original film

Audio Video Quality: 10/10. I saw it in HD, and I don't regret it
Visual Editing: 6/10. Most of the dumped actors' characters are in the main titles, you should make a new main title, or just omit them, and let them for the end
Audio Editing: 9/10
Narrative: 10/10. As I said, I loved how clever is the narrative in this edit giving more leadership to secondary characters who barely has 10 scenes.
Enjoyment: 10/10

Thank you for your review. I'm not really one to complain about ratings, but does the title sequence (which would be way too much work for me to even consider remaking, and features all the big name stars that do make at least cameos in my edit) really push you to give a 6/10 for visual editing?
