John Carter

Disney

Cartoon/explosion CGI nonsense taken from the writings of Edgar Rice Burroughs. This one stuffed in every Star-Wars level cliche that fit into two hours...and then some. Packed with scenes designed to rope in the ten year old in all of us.

I suppose it was well-intentioned...I suppose this wasn't just a cynical attempt to dazzle the droolers...but I'm not sure. The film lost jillions and I don't think that was just...it was no worse than all the junk pumped out by George Lucas since the 70's.

Ah...art (!?) is a tricky business...
