Nice effects though.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

I can honestly say that this is the worst movie that I have ever had the misfortune to have watched.

Actually, it should be 0 our of 10. The script is abominable, the costumes are ludicrous and the acting is abysmal, and that's being kind to all three. This is not the worst film I've seen, but it's very very close. Do not waste your time. I have to add another line before I can post so, This is a horrible film. It has no redeeming qualities at all.

Let me start off by saying, I only listened to about one chapter of the audio book, then like many things, I got bored, started listening to Asimov instead. I liked the movie, the pacing and storyline seemed to go pretty well, I was disgusted at some points with the bugs, found it funny when carter killed the guy that held his chains with just a flick of his wrist and loved the funny nature of the alien species that took him in. The movie could have potentially been great, had it not been for other factors.Now, the other factors, in sequence, 1)gravity, mass, carter has to slow down in an arc and somehow stop himself jumping between peaks at the start 2) Do not have a shot of a slow moving hovering land barge with an entire paragraph of dialogue being said by an actor 3) do not have a long drawn out escape from the land barge during the initial vicious attack of the land barge 4)the flying bug attacks on Traci lords, we see her swarmed, but as we know, not actually swarmed because the hero's woman does not get injured, they should have simply surrounded the cage and freaked her out, way more plausible 5)the martians somehow got outside the climate control station? 6) I was very confused about the atmosphere effect at the end, going away? coming back? they looked reversed, it was only when i saw the second graphic that I went "oh the first one is the atmosphere going away"Anyway, alright movie, just be ready for things beyond your control

This movie is such a disaster I don't know where to begin. If Disney's John Carter of Mars due for release in 2012 is even one hundredth as bad as this turkey then it is already doomed. I don't think so however, as I have more faith in Disney, they actually are a studio that has proved itself to make some awesome Sci-fi films (Tron/Tron Legacy 2010). They have proved they can deliver digital special F/X at the Avatar level (or close) to it.This is not even a "proper" adaption of Edgar Rice Burrough's (creator of Tarzan) classic pulp fiction / sci-fi fantasy novel "The Princess of Mars". Hollywood has been trying to make this into a movie since the 1930's but due to producers who have felt "low audience interest" (even though ironically Flash Gordon serials were very successful in the 1930's) and film special effects technology not ready for a film requiring monumental special effects on a literally "Avatar" level until the Digital Age only recently in the last 10-20 years. Unfortunately this actually is the first live action movie made based "very loosely" on Burrough's classic.To their credit though at least they tried, and they are indeed the first to make this a live action film of Burrough's classic pulp novel. But the production is so bad I felt as if I was watching the "Power Rangers"!! So this first Burrough's feature "inspired" classic stars actor Antonio Sabata Jr and former porn adult star turned B-actress Traci Lords. Actually these two actors hold their own and did their jobs even if was probably just for a 'paycheck' for them. I actually like these two actors and they did a good job considering the bad script and the low budget film they are given. What's bad is everything else... from a horrible script "loosely based" on Burrough's pulp novel, bad direction, to other bad actors, bad costume, low budget art direction, special F/X, locations (all cliché over-filmed locations filmed around LA). The worst was the script which completely deviated from John Carter's original character and story in the beginning. The lines are so bad in this movie you will laugh!! This film would have been better as a comedy or soft-porn than a dreadful adaption of a sci-fi classic.
