Very good film, don't know why I didn't watch it sooner. Much better than Avatar imho.

a good old-fashioned adventure fantasy film and well worth sitting back with your popcorn and be entertained.
Not sure why the negative comments. It's a great story, script and acting with some wonderful special effects.
Strap in and give it a watch.

Nobody knows that half of the si-if movies are ripped of this story (star wars for example).

Unfulfilled potential, still narrowly liked it.

'John Carter' can feel underdeveloped and underwhelming, you could even argue it aimed to replicate 'Avatar', but there's enough there that allowed me to find a fair amount of enjoyment.

Taylor Kitsch is alright, I rate him, but a more convincing lead performance was necessary in my opinion. The rest of the cast, despite some well known names, fail to deliver anything noteworthy. Willem Dafoe works as Tars Tarkas, though only due to his distinctive voice; none of his dialogue etc. stand outs. The likes Samantha Morton, Mark Strong and Bryan Cranston give forgettable performances; arguably not their fault.

The premise has all the possibilities to be great, sadly the film fails to make their mark with it. The ending is extremely rushed, even for a 132 minute production. Visually it's good, but that's one of very few plus points - I haven't got many truth be told, but anything less than a 7* feels harsh.

I maintain that John Carter is an excellent movie with creature design that's better than decent and most of the CGI works. It should have started a series. The potential was there to completely riff off the books in a completely different way. The first problem of calling it _John Carter_ instead of _John Carter of Mars_ is silly but the storyline is solid if the wardrobe design was only so so. It's a VERY enjoyable romp. It's what Cowboys and Aliens wanted to be.

It sets up an interesting world but it is almost too much to fully appreciate. The action is fine, the acting is ok, the CGI is pretty good but overall the movie is watchable but I can see why it bombed at the box office.

Some impressive visuals but somehow too much comical scenes to make this a serious movie.... It really is Disney cinema. But a good teaser to start reading the books

What are you all on something!? This is the worst movie ever made !

It started off strong, but by the end of the first hour I was bored... and switched it off. I've checked out "Princess of Mars" from the library and I'll see if the very interesting premise holds up better in Burrough's hands. I've never read this series, but another author I like played around with Burrough's vision of Barsoom recently, and I'm intrigued enough to start reading.

Standard unlikely-hero-fights-to-save-the-girl story. More cliché than most Disney cartoons/animated movies unfortunately, 5/10 for me.

Crap, crap, crap. Plot is nonsensical and random!

For a Disney movie this one was a let down although watchable.

Entertaining, nice special effects, story is OK, but not what I thought it would be. Liked the little twist at the end. 6/10
