John Carter (2012)
Based on the pulp
novel A Princess of Mars this adaptation from director Andrew Stanton
stars Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins and Mark Strong. Transported from
1880s America to Mars a former Confederate Army captain becomes
involved in the Martian civil war.
Given the reputation
that this film has I did not have high expectations going into this
film but this film is more a world of missed opportunities rather
than actually bad. Neither the plot nor characters have any real
depth and there may be the odd scene or two that appears to be
missing but if you just sit down and turn off your brain the story
unfolds fairly inoffensively. With such a huge budget you would
expect something more of the special effects and action sequences of
the film but again none of these are anything beyond average.
3/5
