Annoying Martians


I found the Martians annoying with all that "ack ack ack" crap. Kind of ruined the movie. I get that it parodies the 50s scifi movies, but it also irritated me that the Martians seem so strong, like with sucking up and inhaling an abomb, easily beating up on earth's armies, and their arrogant nature. I have to admit, it was hilarious that the crappy music killed them.

Its purely a parody/satire of 50's Sci Fi films, and it particular, "War of the Worlds"-1950s version. Nothing in the film is meant to be realistic or to be taken seriously.

In "War of the Worlds", the common cold killed the Martians, in "Mars Attacks", the most ridiculous music of our culture kills them.

but why did they sound like that? Why did they gave them Duck speech?

was there a specific reason to do that?

One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

There should have been more of them and less of Nicholson.

The "ack ack ack" was originally just filler for the script until they figured out a language. Then they ran out of time so it stuck haha
