Ranking: Every Tim Burton Movie From Worst To Best

Tim Burton knew exactly what he was doing here, but that didn't stop Mars Attacks! being one of his most divisive movies.

A loving homage to classic flying saucer B-movies that sees script and characters take a massive backseat to the exceptional effects and action, it may have almost zero depth (unless you count the sledgehammer-subtle politcal satire), but that doesn't stop it being a fun time at the movies.

In addition to the strong effects-driven mayhem, there's an absolutely insane cast attached to this thing (best of all Jack Nicholson as the goofball President), and a far darker tone than its apparently breezy thrills might otherwise suggest.

Best Moment: The Martians slaughter the majority of Congress with their death rays. Wish fulfilment at its most savage.
