let’s start with .. . BEANS.
Yeah. That and the various scenes and imprisonment escalations as they had their abortive conversation about John Carter's military career as a Virginia cavalry officer was TOO FUNNY.
“The first item on the list is BEANS.”
Also liked that they included the ERB angle and the tomb that opened from the inside only! That was direct from the book, other than the Therns (the only place in the movie I felt the Therns worked 100%) which made it more exciting and brought the story more “full circle”.
The changes from the book in the intro and resolution I thought were very well done.
The other changes as far as the arranged marriage and such - not so much.
