Forget what the critics are saying—the new John Carter movie
delivers the action.
While waiting for Disney’s movie “John Carter” to come out, I got a little bit peeved and worried by the prerelease marketing. Dropping the original title of the Edgar Rice Burroughs book “Princess of Mars,” I could kind of understand. But then dropping “Mars” from the title “John Carter of Mars” just seemed weird. Also, the previews didn’t do a very good job of telling us what kind of story the film was going to be telling. It was all kind of troubling for an old-fashioned fan boy of the original books—I read them all between the ages of 8 and 12 and loved them.
Then I went and saw the movie, “John Carter”. Wow!
Not worried anymore! It rocked!
