Scheduled for March 9, 2012 (USA). Am really looking forward to it. Looks a little too Mad Maxish/Star Warsy. Hopefully it transcends that. If not, it is more original in source than those two.

Re: John Carter of Mars (Barsoom)
I remember reading a couple of these books when I was young. My teacher suggested it when she saw me looking at the adjacent Tarzan books. Makes me want to see the movie, but now that my daughter is older, I feel ambivalent about seeing any more Disney movies .

Re: John Carter of Mars (Barsoom)
I've read the the first four volume of the Barsoom cycle, when I was 7.
(((60 years before... damn.)))
It was an engagement for a life.
Today I have more than 700 scifi books (& like), +uncounted in electronic form, most of them in English.
by the way Johnny Weissmüller, known as Tarzan was of HUngarian origin.

Do all you Hungarian guys look like that?
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Not all of us.
For example, I am more handsome, more beautiful, more smart and so on.
I have only one negative attribute. I'm a bit of a liar.

Due to the 50/50 reviews, am waiting for this to come to the dollar theater.

Re: John Carter of Mars (Barsoom)
I watched it, and I watch so many movies and tv shows the last two years, that it takes a lot to thrill me.
I thought it was actually pretty good. I don't get why it got bad reviews.
I would recommend watching it at the good theater given the fantasy nature of it.
Of course, it depends on how clear your $1 theater is.

Don't worry, the dollar theater here is pretty good. It's actually $3. I still have a big family at home so it's better to pay $15 than $50 to see a movie.

Re: John Carter of Mars (Barsoom)
Ya, most of them are $3..... We just say that out of tradition.
Ours the screens are pretty grainy, and one of the screens has a weird focusing issue.
Most movies it's okay, but it's the kind of movie that does well with detail.
But, I know what you're saying family wise. Anyway, hope you enjoy one way or another. :)
