Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Bigglesworth One of the reviews here said it all and took the words right out of my mouth. I raise my hat to the reviewer who goes by the name "Metacognizant". Rather than repeat that review - which you can find yourself - let me add this: In my youth, I managed to acquire and read the entire set of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs known as "The Martian Series". The first novel is entitled "A Princess of Mars".Anyway, I was always disappointed that nobody in Hollywood ever brought this swashbuckling epic to the cinema screen. Imagine my astonishment and delight when "John Carter" (the movie) surfaced in 2012. The denigrating and scathing reviews that I waded through - at the time - made my heart sink. Nevertheless, I rented the movie and steeled myself to judge "John Carter" from what was projected onscreen, before my own eyes. By the time the end credits started scrolling, my teeth were gnashing at all the critics who besmirched this magnificent movie... What I thought of them - and still do - is truly unprintable here....take my word for it!!Apparently, Hollywood critics and Hollywood film producers can't "smell" a good movie from a bad one, anymore. Well guys, I have not, and if anybody in Hollywood wants a fellow who CAN smell a good movie from a bad one...I'm available!! Remember Kurt Russell in "The Barefoot Executive" (1971).....and how a Chimp could "smell" good stuff that studio execs could not.... Sound familiar?If you have not yet immersed yourself in this marvelous masterpiece, what are you waiting for? Why not rent "John Carter" and see for yourself who's right: the critics or the positive reviewers:- such as Metacognizant ? You will have the time of your life.....why else would I rate this movie as 10/10 ??

elllar Why months before this movie came out in theaters did all media talk about how terrible it was. I've seen the movie dozens of times and enjoyed it each and every time. We even bought the Blue Ray. If we could leave all negativity aside when these movies hit theaters and let the fans decide through work of mouth I'm thinking these would do better. Also I love superhero movies but it's nice to have a one of movie that has tons of visual effects and a good story that doesn't include Ironman.

chickenjackson Before there was Avatar or even Superman, there was John Carter. This story is, literally, from 100 years ago by the writer of Tarzan and it took that long to get his vision to the big screen. Sadly, Disney really botched the marketing of this film...the original trailers make no sense and feel totally random and devoid of the center of the story. Just look at the main profile picture on this page for the poster of this film. It looks like a bad joke.Although other movies have taken from some of its thunder, overall, this is an entertaining and imaginative film with surprising heart, telling the story of a broken civil war vet who finds his way...in another world.

Stewart Reeve 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.
