John Carter review Product Description
Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic tale of interplanetary adventure arrives on the big screen in this sweeping sci-fi spectacle marking the live-action debut of Oscar-winning director Andrew Stanton (FINDING NEMO, WALL-E). Civil War veteran John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) was still haunted by the violence he witnessed on the battlefield when he inexplicably awoke on the distant planet of Barsoom (Mars). Upon learning that the inhabitants of Barsoom are bracing for a major conflict and that war appears inevitable, John finds out that love is a rare commodity on the Red Planet, and summons the courage to be the hero the Martians have been hoping for. Meanwhile, John falls under the spell of the enchanting Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins), who struggles to suppress her compassion in a society known for its warlike ways. Willem Dafoe, Samantha Morton, and Mark Strong co-star.

| Great movie, bad critics The critics who said idiotic things like "Not original", "Avatar lite" and nonsense like that go to show why nobody should ever listen to critics. This was written a century ago and is the definition of original. It is a wonderful story and well made. The effects were great. This movie will become a cult classic. I have watched it several times and like it more each time. By danmcguirerods (Baudette, MN) |
| John Carter is Great. This is a Great movie and will become a cult classic. Check it out and join the fight for a sequel on Facebook. By farley01 (Sydney) This review is for a different format. |
| Over time, this will be a classic! How did I miss this in theaters? Oh yeah, I read the reviews. Maybe you did too. Well let me tell you, this movie got trashed unfairly. It's EXCELLENT. I rented the Blu-ray, then had to buy it. Have watched it four times so far. There's just something about it that gets under your skin..... By adminmb (Burbank, CA) This review is for a different format. |
| Deserves More than 5 Stars. A masterpiece. Many years have passes before this film could be made. Only through CGI could it be brought to it's deserved glory. Lynn Collins is outstanding and completely believeable in her performance as a Martian Princess. It's a MUST see in all aspects of filmaking. By Vince (Tampa) This review is for a different format. |
| Good Story, Well Told This movie has the unfortunate fate of having a good story, excellent production value, and the media who don't appreciate the perspective of 100 years ago. Do a little searching about Edgar Rice Burroughs and his OTHER successful franchise and then watch this movie (I went to the $2 theater, well worth it, unlike others) By Michael (Atlanta, GA USA) This review is for a different format. |
