Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Ploydsge just watch it!
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) This is my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoon that features Marvin the Martian as an adversary. Of course, it was vying with the last Bugs/Marivn cartoon from 1963 "Mad as a Mars Hare," but I love this cartoon better. I also love Maurice Noble's layout work for Mars, very good stuff there. I also like the sound of Marivn's "Where's the kaboom?" I'm funny that way. And the "mirror" scene between Bugs and one of the dehydrated Martians.I am sorry to said that I have nothing else to say about this cartoon, other than the animation is perfect. So anyway, I thought this is another Bugs Bunny favorite.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . Mexicans, Bugs Bunny warns 21st Century America in another prophetic Looney Tune from the Mid-1900s. Though Bugs' final word in his HARE-WAY TO THE STARS animated short might strike the casual listener as "Martians," the Giant Green Geese to whom Bugs is referring clearly have much more in common with the flood of rapist murderers Leader Trump has informed us is streaming across our Southern Border than the handful of microbes discovered so far on the Red Planet. Obviously Warner Bros. is warning us that the tide of green or red wet ones starting to percolate up from U.S. sewers as HARE-WAY TO THE STARS climaxes is hardly benign. Looney Tunes was established with the Prime Objective of alerting America to its impending Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti. Bugs is simply echoing the Book of Revelations when he says that we'll have Aliens or Blood running down the street shoulder high UNLESS we build the Great Wall or Trump. By Golly, America, heed Bugs' warning and let's Get Cracking, before the Final Trump Sounds!
John (opsbooks) This and Duck Dodgers etc. are the two cartoons which have stuck in my mind since I first saw them over 40 years ago, though I didn't know the correct title until I thought of doing a search on 'Marvin Martian'. The last time I saw both was on 'The Bugs Bunny Show', which quite often - mostly, perhaps? - didn't include titles.I suspect that you have to be 40 years of age or older to really appreciate this cartoon, which encapsulates the entire 1950s into it's length. The Cold War, the Bomb, Modern Art, the approaching leap into Space, even the fashions and colors, are worked into the 7 minutes.In short, it's Warners Bros' supreme achieve in animation, and a fitting tribute to the Great Mel Blanc, not forgetting all those other geniuses whose names appear on the credits.If I was limited to one item of movie media on a desert island, this would be my selection. Believe it :) !
bob the moo Badly hung over from mixing radish juice and carrot juice the night before, bugs staggers up his stairs and accidentally into a space rocket that has been established as a launch point directly above his home. When the rocket reaches his destination, Bugs stumbles into a plot by an alien to destroy the earth - a plot Bugs has no option but to try and foil.This film is one of the many that started to cash in on the whole sci-fi scene and saw the creation of the alien character who has faced up to several of the usual characters. The plot here is too simple for my tastes and doesn't create that many funny sequences. The overly silly setup is happily put aside as soon as it can be to create a battle of wits between Bugs and alien. Sadly this chase is full of daft looking monsters who are easily outwitted by Bugs - but only in one amusing sequence. Before you know it the film is finished (and with a whimper at that).Bugs is good and the alien is funny if you like him; the problem seems to be with the material, which is uninspired and lacking in real imagination or spark. Bits of it are still pretty amusing but mostly I found it to be quite lacklustre considering the characters involved. Overall, it is worth seeing because all Bugs Bunny films are, but it would have been nice if the material had ran to a few more sequences with more laughs.
