I've never read the books, but I'm going to go see it. If we don't go see the classic works done on the big screen, all we're going to end up with is more Twilights. I respect the fact that they're even trying it, even if they can't figure out how to market it.

Heres another story about how Disney has basically screwed the pooch marketing this thing.

They dropped the "Of Mars" off the title because they thought it would scare off women.

Is this going to be a 3D movie?

So far, I have been pretty unimpressed with the 3D movies with the exception of Avatar which was darn good, I thought. It looked as though that entire movie was shot with 3D in mind, though. Like that scene when the main guy and his squad or whatever first landed on the planet of the blue people ... before he was transformed into a blue guy and all by the lady who used to battle alien eggs and the mother alien badass with the acidic, green blood. That scene was shot down the length of the transport ship with tons of depth-of-field and it really worked. I like that sort of thing better than having hubcaps thrown at me. Also, I went to a special 3D movie in an IMAX theater in some museum one time that was a documentary about the wonders of the deep sea. At one point, the entire audience was swimming in 3D shrimp sperm. I could not stand that deal one bit. To this day, I shudder to think of what those poor fish have to put up with.

Anyhow, I was wondering if this was 3D? And, if so, are they going to do it right?

I'm tempted to see this but I probably wont unless it gets stellar reviews. I love the concept and the Frazetta paintings, but I can't take another CGI driven movie taking a dump on something that I used to think was cool.

Aside from the novels John Carter also made it into comic books.

I've collected comics for nearly 35 yrs now and though John Carter was never one of my Favorite Marvel comics(published in the late 70's)it did give you something Different to read from the typical super hero stuff.

I went thru my collection and pulled out a stack to reread to remember what the character was all about.
Character could be fun with todays special effects but still its such an unknown to so many people wtf invest in the attempt.

To anyone interested heres a link to a few of the old comics covers.
It was the art and covers that often jumped out at you back in those days.

Saw it tonight in 3D. I have not read the books, but I thought it was really good. Absolutely an epic adventure movie. That may be the only thing that hurts it really... people don't know what it's about, and there are a lot of characters in this entirely foreign world to keep up with, but I think Stanton balances it out pretty well, and adds in enough humor and action to keep it moving. Honestly I felt like it could've been longer, but you can't have a 3 hour movie. I want to say I enjoyed it more than Avatar, but it's probably too early to make a judgment like that. Not sure it's worth seeing in 3D though, but I'm not really a 3D fan.

Word of mouth around the internet is very positive.

The director is a huge John Carter fan so that bodes well.

Excited for this.

Last year my husband and I got a rare chance to take in a movie without the ol' kiddos. We walked in as the previews were starting. About midway up the aisle, my husband stops dead and just stares at the screen. Then he leans into me and whispers "It's John Carter!". I reply "Huh?". "John Carter is the reason I started to read for enjoyment. I read all his books when I was a kid."

So that evening I went home and picked up the first book. My husband and I normally have a differing opinion on what makes a good read. He can read through history after history, while I tend to like more light reading, and things that have happy endings (hey, what can I say, I'm a girlie-girl sometimes). I read the first book in about 2 nights of reading. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and immediately went onto the next and then the next. Great reads if you ask me.

As for the upcoming movie, we both are a bit concerned and excited. Exciting because we both like the stories and who doesn't like to see their favorite books come to life. Concerned because we can already see some major discrepancies and fallacies from just the previews. I mean, you can never expect the movies to get all the details, and usually you just go in knowing there will be some stuff that is left out, but this seems like they are going to "hollywood" it up way too much. Oh and that is not at all how I pictured the creatures of Mars to look. Tars Tarkas and his fellow green men look way too Jar-Jar Binks for my taste.

Regardless, I will be going to see it and I am still very excited. I just hope that I don't walk out feeling let down.


Oh and you guys should read the book. It's worth it and a quick read.

Oh no, I agree... I was going to say I really hope this does well at the box office for that reason. This material will be absolutely fresh for most people in the audience. I'm glad Disney spent the money to bring an entirely new sci-fi world to the big screen. I guess Avatar was that way too... but I just felt this movie was more complex.

There are absolutely elements that are similar to Avatar or Star Wars... but you also have to remember those movies took those elements from this story and not the other way around.

And this bears repeating. These books were on the forefront of science fiction.
