Thank You Pete !!!! I'm glad that someone agrees with me about the movie John Carter being a good movie. I know it didn't do well, but I really enjoyed it. It did take 2 times watching it for me to fully understand what was going on, but I loved the story line and have watched it several times.
 
Watched it a few weeks ago for first time and it was okay. I love sci-fi and it didn't make it into the "good" territory for me.
 
I loved the movie. The cast were incredible. You'll notice that many had worked together before in HBO's Rome miniseries. Of course, Rome was a bit . . . ahem . . . spicier :)
 
John Carter is the worst movie I have possible ever have seen.

The plot is a MESS incoherent garbage, the cast is lifeless, and the costumes looked gawdy.

I saw this in movies and purchased the blu Ray because perhaps I thought I misjudged it.

Still a mess all over - at least The Long Ranger was a mess that made sense.
 

I thought the movie was ok. Not terrible, but not sure I would watch it again...I liked the original story, but it did not seem movie material
 
I have a soft spot for the movie. One of my close friends in high school [now on FB] is John Carter :)

Oh . . . as in a man who's name happens to be John Carter or the actor Taylor Kitsch who played John Carter? Either is actually pretty cool. I'm an Edgar Rice Burroughs fan :-)
 
Friend's name is John Carter. He joked about how the movie was really his biography..
 
I love John Carter, it's a terrific film. And I even liked Lone Ranger especially the last half hour. Both didn't deserve their fate at the box office
 
Never seen it, but any movie that includes humans running around Mars like it's got an atmosphere is not something I'm interested in

 
The movie is a lot better than the book. John Carter in the book is one pompus guy; at least in the movie you liked him.
 
It was on the other day so I thought I would give it a try. Ummmm.... Boy Im sure glad judge Judy was on at same time lol
 
I didn't think it was that awful either, it recently didn't deserve the criticism it got but I also thought the Lone Ranger wasn't as bad as movie reviewers made it out to be.
