How on Earth, Disney, managed to do such a terrible job promoting this film? The trailers killed it a long time before its premiere and critics were there to finish the work. So, well done to everyone responsible for such a terrible deed. You did your absolute worst and successfully so!I was there, I watched the trailers and immediately made the decision to never watch the movie! And, one night, I watched it by mistake.... The experience was captivating almost magical. I thought John Carter was on the same level with Star Wars, Matrix, Lord of the Rings or Stardust... For me, this movie, is complete. It ticks all the right boxes:Great performances Great characters Great (cgi) effects Great direction Great story Great timing Great soundtrack Great...If you don't believe me go and watch it. You may end up loving it, just like me!

Who hired the film editor and director? I've seen more than 10k movies and this easily is in the top ten hall of shame! Some kind of mixed Sci-Fi films where nothing makes any sense. The editing is the worst ever, jumping from one scene to another without any transitions nor sense. One minute they are celebrating and in a blink they are fighting. This nightmare goes on during the whole movie.Nothing can be saved exempt a few well made aliens. Couldn't care less for the one dimensional main characters, with blank faces. The actress shouldn't work in moving images ever, rather stay on paper where she can get away with only one expression. A plant. Guy not better. Lost complete interest, real pain to watch, couldn't bear it anymore. We had to turn if off 15 minutes before the end.They should have donated their huge budget to help stop world hunger, rather than throwing it out of the window.

This was a well made film, the graphics was superb and the story line kept things a mystery, the characters were well played, it was a an awesome movie! Disappointed there apparently will be no Sequel! Hopefully a producing company will take this story and make it into more movies.

Once again, we need to ignore critics to make sure we don't miss out on a good, fun time...John Carter is one of the most underrated movies of the last 10 years or so.Critics panned what should have been a box-office success.This is a movie for people, not for wanky critics - I really enjoyed the ride and the originality, and would like to see a follow-up.Worth seeing.
