  I finally saw it and my basic opinion is that John Carter is neither good nor bad. It simply exists. As for the its box office fate, the fact that this so-so movie that at least has its heart in the right place bombs while much worse and morally questionable movies (you know the ones I mean) often break the bank makes me not want to care about that aspect of it. The film makers can care all they want. It's their movie, after all. I just don't want to anymore. As for Taylor Kitsch, I thought he did fine. However, if you really want proof that the guy can act watch Friday Night Lights.

  "it's one thing to defy gravity, it's another to defy the impact of hitting the ground"... no Leon that's literally exactly the same thing.

  Some 'ol Bullshit. Dialogue laughable, acting diabolical and the plot made no sense whatsoever.

  i am so glad co host said FUCK THIS MOVIE, cause i almost felt the same way, my friends and i went into it thinking it would be kinda serious but still a science fiction movie, but no the lines were awful, the acting was awful, it was just bad, half way through we were all just laughing and could not stop at every line! so bad, but i did end up enjoying it in a bad movie sense

  Not gonna lie, I didn't think it was that bad. Generic, yeah. Predictable, yeah. Visually stimulating, YES! I watched it as a Matinee and it was pretty much perfect.

  This movie was really disappointing, it had all the material it needed to be a great sci-fi epic....but it fell flat on it's face. Kitsch was a piece of wood and collins was hot without a purpose, fuck you John Carter!

  Sounds crap, but I can't believe it's much worse than Avatar. One makes a billion dollars, the other becomes one of the biggest flops in film history, both movies suck ass.

  enjoyed this movie so much!

  way, way better than I thought! "John Carter" or "John Carter of Mars" finally makes its way to the big screen nearly 100 years since it was first published this movie is another good example of blockbuster: action, special efffects, good actors the pacing might be off for a lot of people but I was really happy to take the time to be immersed and believe in this universe Taylor Kitsch makes for a ...good action hero as the title role, Lynn Collins amazingly projects as a female warrior princess/scientist and is quite alluring, the Tharks are believable alien natives especially Willem Dafoe as Tars Tarkas and the planet Mars has so much scope there's a ton of information to take in but if you can overlook the convoluted script then no problem some of the character development is questionable, too making you wonder who you should be sympathizing with but for me it didn't get in the way the other interesting thing is that this movie definitely goes back to all the grand, epic spectacle motion pictures with princesses, aliens, giant monsters, powers and other worlds I was worried Andrew Stanton of PIXAR-fame would lose his touch but he manages to succeed with his modern storytelling and sheer vision no matter what world you live in war is inevitable and heroism is never a lost cause

   

  btw, Lynn Collins has never been hotter

  movie was awful .

  soo many drawn out scene that went nowhere .. the princess other than having a nice face and ass had nothing worth fighting for or caring about ..

  his powers were inconsistent and made no sense the review was pretty much on target and even gave it some benefit of the doubt that somebody might like this film , but overall wasn't worth the time.

  A $250 million budget with possibly $100 million marketing. Also studios don't get back everything the movie makes. Its usually around 50-60% so this movie needs at least around $600 million WW to even break even.

  I agree with you Aaron but you forgot to take the promotion costs in to account. Which are easily above 50 mil.

  Just saw this today..I was kind of entertained at first...but got bored pretty quickly. I couldn't help it...I sometimes just wanted it to end so I could get out of there. The trailer made the tone look much more interesting...overall it just felt pretty bland.

  I actually like the story, I thought the acting was better than a lot of the shlock that is out there and the special effects were pretty impressive. You can tell the many many great stories that lifted elements from this original story. I don't think the whole story worked but i'd give it a high matinee.

  I was bored.....it looked pretty though. But I want more than it just to look pretty .

  Like a lot of other users, I heard the review, had low expectations, and really enjoyed the movie. I'm not familiar at all with the source material. I really enjoyed the depiction of the "native" martians and his interaction with them. I also liked how Brian Cranston and that dude who played Marc Antony on Rome were scene stealers with their limited screen time. The princess was actually pretty compelling for what could have just been nothing but eye candy. Of course the "dog" was great. I didn't find it boring at all and felt it actually moved at a decent pace (much better than Tron). I'd probably say that it's worth seeing on the big screen for sure if you are into these sorts of blockbusters: low full price.

  John Carter had a lot of overspending problems...'Ishtar' Lands on Mars

  @Pathosis That's Disney for ya. They're know for spending more money than needed. Same happened with Prince of Persia - 200 million. Where? This way is hard to make enough to start a franchise. But if we go by Box Office Mojo this movie already did more than 100 million and it's only been out for a couple days right? It may make its money back.

  I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Yes there are inconsistencies with his power and ability but for some reason, and i really don't know why, I wasn't really bothered by it. The part with edgar was forced but it made the ending less predictable.

  Having said that i do agree that the grasshopper people were the best characters, and the mark strong character was kinda dumb but hey source material is what it is

  Somewhat on-topic. What's getting me about this film, is the budget. 250 million dollars?! Why is it so much? I can understand if it's a successful film franchise for it to be that much, but it's not. I know of the novels, but as an introduction to the series for the first time on the silver screen, if I'm not mistaken, seems like quite the gamble. I'm assuming a lot of people don't even know about the series, so this will be their first time being exposed to the character and his world. That's not even including the hidden fees, like the ad and marketing campaign and what ever cut the movie theaters get for showing the film. I hope it makes it's cash back.
