John Carter

Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Willem Dafoe, Thomas Haden Church

From filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes John Carter-a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). John Carter is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, ... read more read more...whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands. -- (C) Walt Disney

    I saw this not knowing too much about it, although heard it got bad reviews. It's impressive in terms of scope, production and cast. The plot and story seem to have been made up of quite a few well known plots from other sci-fi films. Definitely felt like a mix of Stargate and ev... read moreen Star Wars attack of the clones at times. The big budget visuals and action does keep your attention though as does the actors on show. Overall it was quite enjoyable.

    This wasn't a bad movie at all. No Raiders of the Lost Ark, but most definitely entertaining...

    Well I actually quite liked it. Here I am again in the minority but unlike other favourite sci-fi books I read as a child (The Hitch-hikers guide to the Galaxy comes to mind) this is actually pretty close to being a perfect adaptation. Many have said that they should have maybe u... read morepdated the story, given that it has influenced so much (pretty much everything) Sci-fi in the last 100 years but then what would the point of that? I'm really glad a real fan has brought this to the screen and stuck to the books. I wish it was called John Carter of Mars and I'd of liked an adaptation for each book but with fickle cinema goers who can't even be bothered to read anymore he did the very best he could and what he has made is pretty good in my book. Now, if someone could now make The Stainless Steel Rat and Bill, the Galactic Hero books my childhood will be complete.

    Pretty bad Sci Fi action film that could have been much better, John Carter is impressive with great visuals, but doesn't deliver a compelling story, instead the dialogue and acting is very weak and it ends up being a very flawed film. The film had potential in being a fun, enter... read moretaining ride from start to finish; instead it ends up being one of the worst films this year. I really wanted to enjoy this film, but I was very disappointed in the finished product. To me, it seems the filmmakers concentrated more effects than to create an effective plot that would make this film worth seeing. This is a poorly constructed Sci Fi film that really doesn't entertain and it's no surprise it bombed at the box office. This is possibly the worst Sci Fi film since The Fifth Element. The problem with the film is that it's too dependent on its effects, thus it offers nothing else to the viewer. Don't expect anything memorable with this flick. John Carter's formula has been done before, and done better. This is a dull movie that just doesn't deliver anything interesting on-screen. I found the film to be very boring and full of clichés. John Carter simply doesn't work. This could have been much better, but it failed. I really wanted to enjoy the film, but I ended up hating the film. Visually, this film is great, but that's the only thing going for it. This is a failed attempt at trying to tell a great story that is just not present due to a lacking script and considering that this film was directed by Andrew Stanton, you'd expect something great, unfortunately this is not the case with this film. John Carter has got to be the most disappointing film of 2012, and if you're looking for a great Sci Fi film, pass up on this one.

    There is one thing I want to point out before I start this review..... Andrew Stanton is amazing! I love his work which is why this review is so difficult to write. This movie was so-so at best. Every time I started getting engaged in the story It ran off in a totally different d... read moreirection. Sometimes the complete opposite direction. All together this isn't a horrible movie, it is surely one that is confusing and sometimes irritating because of its uneven pace.

    A little bit silly movie at the beginning, get more exciting in the second half, with a few fun scenes and a great supporting cast.
