**_Overstuffed story is entertaining Sci-Fi/adventure with good cast and spectacular visuals_** The eponymous 19th century character (Taylor Kitsch) is mysteriously projected to Mars, where he encounters a tribe of tall green creatures with four arms and a beautiful princess (Lynn Collins). He's subsequently caught in a war between left and right factions of the planet. Sab Than (Dominic West)
Dad raised us on what he lovingly called "Pulp Trash Novels" and that carried over to adult life where they are proudly displayed along side academic books. Actually they take the top shelf. So, walking into this I was scared and unfortunately I had every right to be. Now I am fine with artistic licenses, I wasn't expecting it to be exactly like any of the books. But I was expecting it to
Unfulfilled potential, still narrowly liked it. <em>'John Carter'</em> can feel underdeveloped and underwhelming, you could even argue it aimed to replicate <em>'Avatar'</em>, but there's enough there that allowed me to find a fair amount of enjoyment.

We sat down and watched this movie on Blu-ray yesterday evening to nicely end our little excursion day. This is a good film but it could have been (much) better.

Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote his series of John Carter novels before space flight was more than a fancy. This movie is more adventure and romance and very little (if any) actual science.

If you're a fan of the John Carter novels then you will probably get some enjoyment from John Carter. W
Totally forgettable and full of stereotypes
