Ghosts of Mars Reviews |
John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars" has a tired, slightly apologetic feel - the work of a visionary turned mere journeyman. Undemanding sci-fi addicts and those who think the sun still shines from his proverbial may find something of merit here, but most audiences will wish these ghosts had stayed undisturbed.

--Neil Smith (BBC Films)
Dull starting horror/sci-fi plays more like an expensive B-movie than anything with so-so to junky acting and a script that's muddled making it a void of a film with vapid plotting and a bunch of badly staged action mayhem backed by an annoying heavy metal score. [read review] 
-- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
...the best John Carpenter movie in almost 20 years. All in all, a very, very, very solid John Carpenter movie and one that marks a true comeback for this legendary director. ... This is horror-sci-fi at its finest and a movie that feels like it sprang from the golden age of horror... [read review]

If you want to go to the movies for a good laugh, to talk on your cell phone, to talk to your friends or just to get some movie theater popcorn, this is the movie for you. As long as your attention is not on the movie and is on something else, you will have a fantastic time at Ghost of Mars. [read review] 
--MrDisgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
...easily the director's least effective work; it's a dumb action movie/sci-fi/western hung on the skeleton of a slapdash plot. The storyline is underdeveloped and, it seems to me, very much underthought, and the movie seems to prefer gunfire to a decentscript. [read review]
--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
Maybe the US Government can appease these interloping Mo-Fos with a casino grant? Not a shinning moment for John Carpenter by any means, but it sticks to the integral elements of FUNCORE! That's all I'm looking for in a movie. I'd buy a ticket. [read review] 
--B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb)
Director John Carpenter used to be a director whose latest film was eagerly awaited – after all; this is the man who made Halloween and Assault on Precinct 13. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Over all I would easily say this is Carpenter's best flick since In the Mouth of Madness and definitely one of the most enjoyable films he's ever made. [read review]
--Ian Button (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
If you love cheesy, violent space warfare flicks, then you will enjoy Ghosts Of Mars. [read review] 35/100
