I was expecting at least something not boring as heel from a movie with a budget so big,what a waste of time,and what a poor way to waste so much money,the story is idiotic and clicheic to the moon and back.

It had everything, action, adventure, romance, fantasy, you name it. Made me think at a lot of movies, like Jumper, because this guy jumps a lot, kangaroo John :)), at Warcraft because it has that Thark population with 4 arms and all are green and very tall, alien style but more like a game fantasy characters, Mad Max Road Fury cos they all do crazy battleship fights and really there is no time to get bored. Really good movie i enjoyed a lot and hardly eat my cereals cos I did not want to lose any of the details.John Carter takes Mars related movies to a whole other level, without people wondering on a deserted planet and killing one another to see who gets back home, but it has a human story with human feelings and a really good plot regarding the power balance and if this power balance is really decided through victories and defeats or already the games are being made by other high instances. Maybe some wars need to be won by certain sides and it goes like this before our planet even existed. I mean the Matai Shang makes a good point if you want to think beyond the fantasy of this movie. But sometime a hero appears who blows all the game in the air and rewrites everything and this is why I am saying.....can someone get Nick Fury to recruit this guy? Trust me he's good and i think the chick, his new martian wife will do better than Wonder Woman, has more feeling into it and kicks booms like no other.

The effects and cinematography were great. The story could have been simpler to appeal to a broader audience. This is no doubt a high budget movie but fails to utilize it's resources to it's full potential. The story is confusing and not so interesting. The acting is so so only. I would recommend that one should watch this movie if haa extra time in hand.4/10

It is a real damn shame that this movie was not as well received as it should have been. I have heard that marketing was to blame, but this movie was really awesome. The bad marketing did not affect me at all since I see a movie like this and immediately put it on my watch list.Original and mostly true to the novel (they really wanted it all ages) it will take you on the epic adventure of Barsoom, an advanced mars full of wacky aliens and hot babes.I am still holding out hope that some day maybe we will get the 2 sequels that were to follow by Stanton.
