Depending on the positions of the planets, Mars could sometime be the brightest in the sky. The planet which becomes the brightest overall is Venus - when its in the right place it will be brighter than the brightest star, even visible before sunset/sunrise if you know where to look.

Would Mars be considered the brightest planet in the earth's sky?

Mars is not the brightest planet in Earth's sky. As seen from Earth, Venus is the brightest planet. Venus orbits the sun one step inward from Earth, and Mars orbits one step outward. Venus gets slightly closer to us than Mars does, but the main reason Venus looks so bright is that its surface is covered with highly reflective clouds. Mars isn't the second-brightest planet either. Jupiter is. Jupiter is even farther away than Venus or Mars, but it's huge. A dozen planet Earths could fit side by side in front of Jupiter. Mars sometimes gets as bright as Jupiter. That happened last in 2003. But generally Mars exhibits a range in brightness as it and we orbit the sun. Mars can be as bright as the brightest stars (but not as bright as Venus, and usually not as bright as Jupiter). Or Mars can be relatively faint.
