Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Ploydsge just watch it!

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

guisreis The ridiculousness of this film is very funny, what automatically makes it less bad than other awful movies.Though, even when you make a film with bizarre costumes, a silly story, and bad acting, at least one expects it to have internal logical consistency.This Mexican superhero film, though, contradicts itself too much seriously (for example, just a touch is enough to teletransport a human, but the Martians who wrestle against Santo cannot do it with him; besides that, the first alien to fight Santo has a disintegration ray but does not try to use it against him, although having the hero as a powerful opponent, and only uses it against people who do not offer any risk to them).Even the (excessively long) fight scenes are very bad (asslock, headbutt on the sphincter and other ridiculous attacks, with no visually impressive jump) and boring.

MartinHafer Martians interrupt television to announce they are coming to Mexico and will soon enslave the Earth. However, everyone thinks this is a joke and people couldn't care less. But, when El Santo meets up with one of these Martians, he immediately does what he does best--he wrassles with them. In fact, time and time again, various Martians come to the planet--only to have their butts whipped by our masked super-hero. However, in each case, before El Santo can deliver a knockout blow, the cowardly Martians activate a device on their belts and they disappear. Can El Santo stop the Martian invasion and thereby save every single soul on this planet? Fortunately, the Martian ship DOES come equipped with a self-destruct lever and these aliens asphyxiate very easily--so my bet is on El Santo!! Like all the other El Santo movies I have seen, it abounds with unnecessary fights throughout the film and for the most contrived reasons. But, more importantly, it also features this guy going about his everyday life while wearing this silly luchador mask. I love how in some films, you see him going on dates, scoring with women and showering--all while wearing his silver mask! This and the silliness of the plot in "Santo el Enmascarado de Plata vs. La Invasión de los Marcianos". While not the silliest of these Santo plots...it's among the silliest and make the film more of what we want--incredible and bizarre laughs from start to finish. Unfortunately, it also is a bit dull here and there and lacks the energy of some of his other bizarre films.

poe426 Having witnessed the failure of peacemonger Klaatu (Michael Rennie, in the original version of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL), the Martians decide to try a slightly different approach: teach Earthlings peace and brotherhood through pain and suffering. Not a bad strategy (let's not forget THE ARCHITECTS OF FEAR episode of the original OUTER LIMITS- nor the "shock and awe" approach to politics of the late Republican Reich). Unfortunately, the Martians make the mistake of starting with Mexico- the home of El Santo. SANTO VS. THE INVASION OF THE MARTIANS is superior Santo: he's on screen most of the time and, when he's not trying to outwit the invaders, he's stomping the crap out of them in some very well-choreographed fight scenes. In one of my favorite scenes, he is unmasked in the ring- but has a second mask on underneath the first. (In another scene, a dream sequence, he is unmasked by one of the femaliens- but it's clearly not Huerta himself; in fact, it looks like one of the guys playing one of the aliens.) Topnotch entertainment.

movieman_kev Three-eyed, fit bodied Martian socialists want to the world to disarm their nuclear weapons, stop war, have the Earthling start a universal language, and everyone to love one another...or DIE. They decide to teach the world a lesson by conquering Mexico. They capture universal TV airwaves to voice their intentions, but thinking it's a new TV show, everyone laugh. But ElSanto, the masked wrestling superhero is listening as well and plan to out wrestle these commies..um.. i mean space aliens. They choose to send one alien to a soccer game to show the power of their disintegrating third eye. But Santo happens to be there teaching prepubescent boys how to wrestle each other for the benefit of defending the weak. When El Santo sees the alien, it's wrestling time. To tell you anymore would be a great disservice. Suffice it to say you HAVE to experience this camp classic for yourself in ALL it's glory. You WILL be wanting to search out each and every one of El Santo's other 57 films after you finish seeing this one. TRUST ME!! It's just that awesome.My Grade:A DVD Extras: 33 and a half minute interview with El Hijo del Santo (Son of Santo); 6 & a half minute retrospective on Santo; Biographies on El Santo & Wolf Ruvinskis; Santo Filmography; Theatrical Trailer, and trailers for "In Raw Flesh", "One's as Good as the other", and "Coming of Age"
