Ghosts Of Mars Movie Review (2001)

[@TheGorillafoot]

The movie it's so bad it's good. If you dont' take it too serioiusly it's pretty entertaining. Total cheese, I love the movies from this time: vulgar, violent, gore, sex, one liners, etc..

[@RETROORDIE]

All the references to evil dead is what saves the film from being just a Pitch Black clone but with some drinks and friends deff makes the movie more fun

[@ToystorysInfinityandbeyond]

Great video bro.... I like were you keep the movie you dont like. So much.... Love the skits man.... Much love Brother.

[@RETROORDIE]

Thank brother! Trying to keep the reviews fun if I can. Even when the game or movie is a turd lol

[@almercool5]

One of my favorite movies

[@JHParee]

Dude, seeing Bad Taste and Braindead at the start of this just made my viewing experience 10x better. You are now in my list of friends that I’ve never met.

[@RETROORDIE]

Love those two films. Bad Taste is so good. Thank you brother! Hope you enjoy the other videos.

[@kylethompson6012]

I remember this being better when I was a kid, but the toilet is definitely the best spot for it. It is cool to see a young Jason Statham though and ice cube's face while dual wielding smgs will always be hilarious to me. I'm glad you showed it in here. 😂😂

[@RETROORDIE]

When I saw ice cube make that face in that part I couldn’t help but laugh. There was no way he was hitting anything lol

[@PragmatikReviews]

Huh, guess drugs were the answer here. What a good premise for a movie done so oddly. weird to think this was a 2001 film.

[@christianmarshal6117]

The overall plot had some potential, some sort of mind controlling parasites that appear like red dust clouds, start turning miners on Mars into some sort of ancient alien cultists that are involved in mass murder, self facial mutilation, and offering severed heads on spikes as some sort of offering to a nameless deity/deities… So, yeah if you’re trying to meet the demographic of the sci-fi horror genre fans, this plot is like gold. But honestly their utilization and execution could’ve been better. It actually might’ve made a far better series then movie. In each episode they could find out more about what these things are, what they were and how too fight them without the parasites just taking someone else.

[@Gruntvc]

I don't hate this film, but it's certainly not up there with Escape From New York or The Thing.

[@RETROORDIE]

I dont hate it either but after rewatching it again after all this time its pretty bad lol

[@brytex4life]

@@RETROORDIE well duh its 20 years old not everything ages well idiot

[@RETROORDIE]

@@brytex4life lol sorry you feelings got hurt lol it’s a movie review and my opinion. You obviously are way too invested in the movie to see that.

[@brytex4life]

@@RETROORDIE Then you compared it to Doom ? Lol yea they have similarities but this is still better than both those shitty Doom movies...

[@RETROORDIE]

@@brytex4life lol I compared it to the story of Doom the game as I held it in my hands not the movie. A mars planet that had zombie people soldiers Take a joke and move on, glad you ain’t subbed anymore stay that way

[@popey129]

It should have been Snake. Great review.

[@tugw9125]

Never seen thins. Good thing someone did not flush. I would have never seen this review and known about it. Great work as usual man.

[@RETROORDIE]

LOL Thanks brother. If you get a chance to see it let me know what you thought.

[@thatmovieguy7778]

Its weird how forgettable jason Statham was back in the day. I didnt even realize he was in The One & this movie. Ghost of Mars was supposed to be Escape from part 3 but the producers didnt think Kurt Russell would fill the seats

[@RETROORDIE]

I did see that! I don’t know how this plot would have worked for another escape movie but it’s probably for the best because escape from la was not good lol

[@thatmovieguy7778]

@@RETROORDIE lol i know right.. its sad that LA was my first exposure to Snake. The whole time all i could think was "i dont see the appeal" then i bought Escape from New York and instantly i got the hype. Honestly ive always had this idea of taking an established action hero and dropping them in a movie they have no business being in . Its just something thats never been done or at least i dont think it has. From what i read it was the producers that optioned for Ice Cube because he was "hip cool whats in with the kids" which in hindsight kinda feels racist lol i aint no sjw but i can see how that conversation went down. If they were to remake Ghosts of Mars using the John Wick action choreographers & todays tech it would be gold but we'd have to deal with the possibility of them making it woke lol🤦

[@RETROORDIE]

@@thatmovieguy7778 you ain’t wrong

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

Jason statham was actually supposed to be lead of ice cube

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

The ancient Mars ruins turning into an alien life form of red mist - what a fantastic idea. Then it seems the script writers ran out of ideas. Like and sub for the awesome content - your channel looks exciting. Can't wait to binge watch :)

[@Blazeww]

Seems someone forgot common sense. The previous civilization trapped the things inside as the things go around conquering and are otherwise unstoppable. Also Stephen himself said it's supposed to be a cheesy fun movie not serious.

[@lionelstarkweather6996]

I like John carpenter but sometimes he should just stick with music.

[@RETROORDIE]

Same, this movie just doesn’t fit well with the Carpenter films.

[@ruthiekest3218]

The thing was good

I love how you have it stored in the toilet. I’ve never seen it, but now I want to. Lol

[@RETROORDIE]

It’s the movie’s spiritual home lol Let me know you think!

[@JazzyJeff714]

Honestly this was a good review and I really enjoyed you turning the movie into a doom commercial that was some funny shit. I still haven't seen this but I have it on tape so I'm definitely excited to sit down and properly watch it through. A lot of big names in this film but they all seem to fail here. I'm really curious as to what the music is like for this film because I've always enjoyed carpenters music in all of his movies. Keep doing reviews and fuck the haters!

[@ABP4L]

The premise of this movie reminds me of Pitch Black.

[@RETROORDIE]

100000000%

[@9ElevenGamer]

Was Christine a John Carpenter based movie? It's about a possessed car.

[@RETROORDIE]

Yes! He did direct the movie! Fun fact for those who don’t know, Christine was based off of Stephen Kings books. If you haven’t read it you need to!

[@9ElevenGamer]

@@RETROORDIE Read it and watched it years ago, I had it on VHS, I've never seen it on DVD though I am sure it must have got a release, I've stuck with DVD as I can get 4 for £1 at the shop on my street and I honestly don't see much difference between them and Blu-Ray's.

[@Robocop_1987]

This is stupid , what was John thinking when he made this ?

[@RETROORDIE]

Lol idk It really doesn’t fit at all with his movies

[@357Franknitty]

I agree with you as far as yeah, its not gonna be everybody's favorite horror sci fi, and gets forgotten alot, but I do enjoy that every 15 years of pulling it out and having something to watch when there's nothing to do By todays standards, its definitely the C class low budget, but for that time period, it was ok. I hate to think of what kids probably enjoy today like the latest Conan with Moma, that last Childs Play or the last Ninja Turtles movies. Its just different times played in as well. Overall....Yeah, its a lil cheesy, but I like it.

[@RETROORDIE]

With drinks and friends this is a fun romp for sure

[@Blazeww]

You know it was supposed to not be a serious movie but a fun one. Probably why some things are the way they are.

[@RETROORDIE]

[@ruthiekest3218]

I kinda like this film.young Jason Statham,must be he's first film.saving private film I noticed van diseal first film and he got killed from the sniper.i forgot how Jason Statham die in this one

[@Retro__Glitch2313]

The movie feels depression to watch myself would fall asleep within 10 minutes

[@RETROORDIE]

It’s good for a laugh but that’s about it. I would never tell anyone to spend money to rent it. I got the vhs for 10 cents lol

[@TheAbnormal]

IT WAS ENTERTAINING FOR ITS TIME

[@leonskennedy9317]

@Sauce.Texican lol I did see this when it came out dummy lol I said I saw it like 15 or 20 years ago and liked it then. Very sad you can’t handle others opinions. Whats funny is Ice Cube himself has gone on record saying he doesn't even like this movie lol
