    Okay, John Carter was one of the films I saw for free on a recent plane trip and I have to say...I enjoyed the hell out of it. Sure, I was probably loopy from a lack of sleep, I was desperate for anything to blot out the crying kids the row behind me and I didn't (directly) have to plunk down cash to watch it, but I still thought the thing had some nice pulp appeal to it and even some solid action, nice characterization and an occasional chuckle. Yeah, it's got some pitfalls, but if you're going to bring John Carter's Mars to life you had better go big or go home and I think the film did a decent job.

    I advise a viewing, especially if you've ever been a fan of old pulps, but you must be in the right chill and relaxed mood. Also, don't try and ring your girlfriend/wife into watching it.

    Color me pleasantly surprised.

    Finally got around to watching it. I sort of enjoyed it, but it ultimately felt a bit flat for me unfortunately...

    I'd give it a 6.510'ish?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I think that's a fair review. I was thrilled they did the character relative justice, but it did feel overly long and a bit halfbaked. Still really enjoyed it, but man did this movie tank in the theaters.

    This movie was as good as it could be when considering it was a story from 1917 being filmed for an audience in 2012 (yet still trying to respect the source material), I enjoyed it a lot.

    Lyn Collins looked insanely good as well.



    I could watch her all day!
