They should have also kept the "Of Mars" part of the title (or kept the "Princess of Mars" title from the book). |

I liked it. It's not nearly as bad as people made it out to be. I've noticed critics like to attack movies based on budgets a lot. It's like they get the knives out ready to attack whenever something with a big budget flops.

I've spoken to several people that advised Disney to do something more with the trailers, with the title, with the overall marketing but they refused to listen. Unfortunately, it happens. |

Good God, I just watched the trailer linked in this thread for the first time.
What a horrible choice in music, the edits, etc. Wow, just awful. |

I know. I enjoyed the series of books as a teen. I'm a fan of this type of science fiction and it was grueling for me personally to see how the film was handled. I feel as if somebody stumbled into a diamond mine, grabbed a small dirty bit of dust, crammed it into their asshole then wore it proudly around town for six weeks. Frustrating and disappointing.

I thought this movie was great. Of course, because of this forum I went in completely expecting it to be awful. I've seen it 3 times now and each time I catch something I didn't catch before.
calling it the worst movie of the last 10 years? This shouldn't even be on the list of the worst 50.

Disney lost the rights, so now there might be a sequel.
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/10/prweb12253636.htm Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. announces that the movie, television and merchandise rights have reverted back to the company. Walt Disney Pictures held the rights and produced the movie JOHN CARTER in 2012. Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. will be seeking a new studio to continue this seminal Sci-Fi adventure. “John Carter of Mars was the creative stimulus behind such movie classics as Superman, Star Wars and Avatar,” said James Sullos, President. “Edgar Rice Burroughs was the Master of Adventure and his literary works continue to enjoy a world-wide following. We will be seeking a new partner to help develop new adventures on film as chronicled in the eleven Mars novels Burroughs wrote. This adventure never stops. Along with a new TARZAN film in development by Warner Bros., we hope to have JOHN CARTER OF MARS become another major franchise to entertain world-wide audiences of all ages.” About Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. Founded in 1923 by Edgar Rice Burroughs himself, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. holds numerous trademarks and the rights to all literary works of the author still protected by copyright. The company has overseen every adaptation of his literary works in publishing, film, television, theatrical stage productions, licensing and merchandising. The company is still a very active enterprise and manages and licenses the vast archive of Mr. Burroughs' literary works, fictional characters and corresponding artworks that have grown for over a century. The company continues to be owned by the Burroughs family and remains headquartered in Tarzana, California, the town named after the Tarzana Ranch Mr. Burroughs purchased there in 1918 which led to the town's future development. For more information, please visit EdgarRiceBurroughs.com.

It just became obvious to me that the "Planet Hulk" storyline was a clear homage (or ripoff) of the John Carter series...

Was just on TNT so I finally saw it. Now I'm sad it's all we got. What horrendous marketing.

So you're saying it wasn't bad? I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at.
