This movie gets a lot of bad lip, what do people expect. This is a Disney movie (with a PG??) rating. Doesn't score high on originality nor depth of plot. It's just good clean fun for the whole family. And it does have a couple of good laughs. The Martian character has been transposed into our time, not the well-mannered 1960's Martian. On the absolute downside... Elizabeth Hurley obviously has neither shame nor acting abilities (at least they are well hidden).

I was skeptical about the quality of this movie but the trailer for the movie inspired me to see it as I felt it would be fun to see. I had seen a bad review of it on a prominent web site but I personally feel the movie was much better than the "bad reviewer" gave "low" credit to it. Bad reviewers, they tend to pick apart movies they personally don't like but it doesn't matter. I have found movies that have been given bad reviews often much to my liking and I have bought collector's editions of them later when they became available. It was a good movie, in my opinion, so I gave it a 10. If you don't think so, then give it a lower rating.

I'm only 17, so I've never seen the old show. But, I liked this movie. I saw it with my parents when I was 10. I don't know why everyone is complaining. Christopher Lloyd is amazing! He's an amazing actor. I thought he did well. I'm not a big fan of Daryl Hannah or Elizabeth Hurley, but they did well, too. I liked it! The suit was creative, and I found him to be one of the funniest characters. Maybe some of you don't have the imagination, and maybe your children don't either. I see it as a creative movie. It's not my favorite movie of all time, but I liked it. It depends what your taste is. When I first saw it, I didn't know it was a show, and it didn't affect my opinion of it at all.

We found this film to be surprisingly enjoyable. I enjoyed it, with memories of the original series. My children, too young to remember the original series, also found it very amusing, and, in spots, quite funny. It is a bit more racy than the average Disney film, but not in any offensive way. The effects are well done, and the roles played out well. We may well see it again, and will definitely purchase the video.

This movie tries hard, but completely lacks the fun of the 1960s TV series, that I am sure people do remember with fondness. Although I am 17, I watched some of the series on YouTube a long time ago and it was enjoyable and fun. Sadly, this movie does little justice to the series. The special effects are rather substandard, and this wasn't helped by the flat camera-work. The script also was dull and lacked any sense of wonder and humour. Other films with under-par scripting are Home Alone 4, Cat in the Hat, Thomas and the Magic Railroad and Addams Family Reunion. Now I will say I liked the idea of the story, but unfortunately it was badly executed and ran out of steam far too early, and I am honestly not sure for this reason this is something for the family to enjoy. And I was annoyed by the talking suit, despite spirited voice work from Wayne Knight. But the thing that angered me most about this movie was that it wasted the talents of Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Daniels and Daryl Hannah, all very talented actors. Jeff Daniels has pulled off some good performances before, but he didn't seem to have a clue what he was supposed to be doing, and Elizabeth Hurley's character sadly came across as useless. Daryl Hannah is a lovely actress and generally ignored, and I liked the idea of her being the love interest, but sadly you see very little of her,(not to mention the Monster attack is likely to scare children than enthrall them) likewise with Wallace Shawn as some kind of government operative. Christopher Lloyd acquits himself better, and as an actor I like Lloyd a lot(he was in two of my favourite films Clue and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and I am fond of Back To The Future) but he was given little to work with, and had a tendency to overact quite wildly. Overall, as much I wanted to like this movie, I was left unimpressed. Instead of being fun, it came across as pointless, and that is a shame because it had a lot of potential, with some talented actors and a good idea, but wasted with poor execution. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I thought that My Favorite Martian was very boring and drawn out!! It was not funny at all. The audience just sat through the whole movie and didn't laugh at all!!! Not even the kids laughed!! That is sad for a Disney movie!! I thought they could have found somebody better to play the martian rather than Christopher Lloyd!! He was really stupid!! And he was not funny!! I thought the talking suit was really dumb!!! In the original television series the suit doesn't talk and move around!! In my opinion they should not have wasted their time on this movie!! I give it two thumbes down!! Really a waste of time and I would not recommend the movie to anybody!!! Thank You!!

My favourite martian is an upbeat comedy about a reporter (jeff Daniels)who one night witnesses a u.f.o crash. He finds a Martian (Christopher Lloyd) who transforms into a human figure and turns his life around. Great characters and the great voice of Wayne Night really makes this a movie that will capture your imagination while taking your heart. A definite 10/10

My 6 & 9 year old children loved this show. They haven't stopped talking about it 3 weeks later. For Mom and Dad it provided some light entertainment and was well worth the family outing.

This was yet another big screen outing for a US TV show from the sixties It is amusing enough but was very much to formula. Intelligent Martian lands on Earth and meets the not too bright humans, in his view. The usual wackiness ensues with the human, Bridges, eventually bonds with him and helps him to get home. Along the way he also gets the girl, Hannah. This is a nice outing for some pleasant Hollywood stars who I had not seen for a while. Pleasant enough to pass some spare time if you have not got anything better to view.
