Santa eliminated.
ZEDD'S OPINION:
I must admit I thought the whole concept of aliens abducting Santa is kind of goofy, but I must admit it was a charming likable
comedy full of cute monsters and Pia Zadora. The only thing I hate about the movie is the opening song, "Hurray for Santy
Claus". It's Santa, not Santy, also it was kind of annoying. But that is the only real complaint. Also I would have liked
to have seen more of the ship landing and taking off. But again, minor. I think it's a true classic for kids. Boys will like
this movie then your average girl. I know I found it interesting when I was a kid. But if you have kids or want to look back
to a found memory from your childhood, then buy SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARITIANS. I give it...8 STARS.
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
I agree with Zedd. It does get annoying, but I am a big fan of Pia Zadora and I do wish she had a bigger part in this. But
it's the main reason why my grade is so high. I give it...7 STARS.
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ FUNNY (There is allot of humor in this movie.)
+ FUN FOR KIDS (You're kids will enjoy this, boys more then girls.)
+ TORG (Torg is a cool robot.)
+ ACTING (Considering is so silly, the acting was pretty well done.)
+ MARTIAN EFFECTS (The Martian effects were good.)
AND TWO WORDS...
PIA ZADORA (In her first role.)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- SANTY CLAUS (Hurray for Santy Claus? Who wrote that song?)
- SILLY CONCEPT (The whole concept is on the silly side.)
...AND FINALLY...
- NOT FOR EVERYONE (If you don't have kids or if you didn't grow up watching this on TV, then you may not like it.)
