Ghosts Of Mars movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: Listen up, you hard-core sci-fi addicts. We're going for a ride -- and I do mean ride. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Falls into a classic Carpenter quagmire, unable to follow through on many of its intriguing ideas. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: It's more than a little sad to realize this is what Carpenter's career has come to. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Though Ghosts of Mars is watchable and even exciting, it's not one of [Carpenter's] best. Read more
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times: A flawed but worthy effort from an auteur whose near-misses are more entertaining than many others' hits. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: It's distressingly amateurish and hackneyed to the point of absurdity. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: A less than functional retelling of Mr. Carpenter's B-picture classic Assault on Precinct 13 with a bit of his film The Fog. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Arguably the horror/sci-fi director's most routine movie. Read more
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle: Ghosts of Mars, hah. More like Turkey of Mars. Read more
Bruce Fretts, Entertainment Weekly: The acting is so pallid that you're never sure the cast members quite get the jokes. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Occasionally veering into that so-bad-it's-good category ... mostly Ghosts of Mars is just so bad. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A combination of sloppy movie-making and poor storytelling. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: All basic stuff, and yet Carpenter brings pacing and style to it, and Natasha Henstridge provides a cool-headed center. Read more
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: I guess John Carpenter the careless purveyor of slime and hokum is the only John Carpenter we've got, and that's better than none at all. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: A tired and dispiriting affair that takes forever to get going. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The 'acting' by lead stars Ice Cube, Natasha Henstridge, Jason Statham and Pam Grier is more wooden than a Pinocchio puppet show. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: What's almost charming about Carpenter's new film is that he doesn't seem concerned about providing auds with their weekly fix of new screen effects but instead prefers his space adventure on the funky side, even if that means the funk gets ridiculous. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: Written, directed, and edited with the offhand shoddiness of a day worker thinking about his evening beer. Read more
