“John Carter” was entertaining, although bitterly disappointing on a personsal level. (If ever I win $200million on Lotto I will produce “A Princess of Mars” and do it right!)

“John Carter” looked great - and the action was intense if not very suspenseful because of how invincible they made John. But the plot and duologue suffered from a SEVERE lack of Edgar Rice Burroughs magic.

I knew as soon as I heard that the plot was “confusing” that they had taken a major departure.

Amusing that something written almost one hundred years ago is STILL too cutting age, racy, anti-organized religion, anti-Communist, and violent to put on the silver screen as written.

What the hell would they have done with “Gods of Mars”?

For myself, I would like to cast Oprah Winfrey as “Isus” and see John Carter throw her to the crowd that once worshiped her as a goddess - now howling for her blood!

THAT would have been glorious!

What they would have done with it would have been a travesty!
