I liked “John Carter”.

“Tomorrowland” was a stinker...although it was a good excuse to look at George Clooney for two hours!

JMHO, but two hours is way too long!

John Carter was fun.

This movie sounds like a true stinker.

Meg's consternation and unrequited love is her precocious, genius younger brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe).

Huh?

Meg loves Charles Wallace and Charles Wallace loves her back. That was quite clear in the book.

Is there a new definition of "unrequited" out there I have never heard of?

I thought in the case of John Carter....the book simply told a great story, and it just marginally works if you lay out the story in film. I can think of several books which made lousy movies.

I’ve heard that some studio is reviewing John Carter and wants to remake the movie but in some other fashion. I kinda doubt that anyone will invest into the project.

I guess I am more of a true male than I, a math nerd in my youth, used to think:

I have never, ever understood the female fascination with George Clooney. He seems to me to be a wooden doofus with average features.

No offense meant, really. Just voicing my perplexity.
