    the professional reviews tore this movie apart. the blog reviews told a different story. most the blog reviews liked the movie although they felt other of the same genre were better from just to much better. the most read movie failing had to do with the title. i felt the same. the movie should have had a more enticing title then a featuring john carter sub-title reminding people of the decades ago john carter franchise. i did not love this movie, it missed me in sophistication and intellectually. it was well made and apparently not a cheaply made movie. it did follow the old john carter but was more mature which may not say much to some. for me it was a 3. not a strong or weak 3 stars. a rental not a theater regardless.

    Interesting story plot of advanture, sci-fi, and love story all together. Taylor's acting is quite mature, but everyone else gave the movie a B ish feel to it. But, the movie is very entertaining.

    Great scifi story and movie.....If you like big adventurous movies that give you a smile around every turn, this is it. For scifi fun and that, take you away from what your use to...this is it. And one can appreciat how George Lucas was influenced to create some of his space friends. Nothing new in the universe, so to speak.
