This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I was expecting at least something not boring as heel from a movie with a budget so big,what a waste of time,and what a poor way to waste so much money,the story is idiotic and clicheic to the moon and back.

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 ??

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.

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.
