I seriously do not understand all the negativities. I am not a critic or anything and when I choose to watch a movie, I am looking to be entertained. This movie does exactly that. If I want facts and law of gravity, I rather just watch…

My only criticism are the impossible jumps. John Carter does not have super powers. He is an Earthman on a world with lower gravity than we have on Earth. I recall Burroughs mentioning him being able to leap 30 feet.
While thrilling to…

This is a much better movie than you may have heard. It does not follow Burroughs' books very closely, but on its own terms John Carter is a fun action story with some delightful sly humor, a terrific cast, and spectacular special effects,…

Don’t believe all the ‘informed’ comment that this movie is a flop. It ‘flopped’ because Disney spent way too much money making it, then promoted it poorly and hardly made a nickel on it. The movie is really pretty good and a big…

If you are a fan of the 50's scifi films you will enjoy this. It's just like one of those but with a better special effects budget. Based on novel written about 100 years by the man who gave us Tarzan.
Have low expectations and be…

This film cost Disney $200M+ but bombed at the box office, and got bad reviews from film critics. However, if you like fantasy or sci-fi films, you will enjoy this one. The Martian setting was gorgeous to look at, as was the costume. …

This was a terrible movie. It's not surprising that it did poorly at the box office. It seems like a failed attempt to imitiate Star Wars, by establishing new kingdoms and species on Mars. The protagonist was not very likable and the…

I knew this movie had an awful reputation, now I know why. More entertaining would have been a video of my facial expressions as I thought "what's this? ugh! wait, he's WHAT? is this a comedy now? aw, that's cute. man, this is stupid.…
