The NY Post's Lou Luminek absolutely killed it, giving it one star.

Interminably long, dull and incomprehensible, “John Carter’’ evokes pretty much every sci-fi classic from the past 50 years without having any real personality of its own.

Absolutely awful! At $300 million, Disney’s ‘John Carter’ is trash for cash

Anyone who thinks Edgar Rice Burroughs stole ANYTHING from George Lucas and/or James Cameron is too stupid for words.

I hope the movie is good.

Don't have high hopes after hearing they worked Matai Shang - the villain from the 3rd book - into the first.

No wonder people found the story confusing if they took the rather simple story of “A Princess of Mars” and tried to make it something else.

Telling that the ACTUAL story of “The Gods of Mars” (the 2nd book, where Matai Shang first appears), written almost a hundred years ago, is still WAY TOO AHEAD OF ITS TIME!!!!

The actual theme of “The Gods of Mars” would apparently offend way too many people.

There are only two kinds of critics - those you agree with, and those you don’t.

I’ll take a wait and see attitude.

Anything that gets trashed in the press is a must see for me.

Somehow I missed all the Oscar pictures even with all the movies I went to last year.

That sounds like something a New York film critic from 2012 would say about anything with an ounce of fun.
