Chris M @Cmos2112 Dec 6, 2025 Did you watch Disney's "John Carter" and wonder if you could see an older worse interpretation of the source material, maybe with a porn star in it? Traci still looks great in this 2009 film but you won't see any of her earlier work shine through. Her slave Leia knock off covers more than most toddlers at your local park pool. Her acting transition must have started with this film, but without better editing and screenwriting you just can't force even great source material to become a great movie. If you want something to fill the void of silence while you work for 1 hour and 30 minutes, this closely fits the bill. If you want an enthralling plot and captivating characters, any local school play will be better. Any play. Anywhere. Best of luck. Bonus points for recognizing Jabba's Barge earlier than I did.

See more Dec 3, 2020 I thought "Plan 9 From Outer Space" was lousy, this one ranks right down there with it. See more Oct 5, 2020 Why do John Carter movies get poor reviews? There isn't a good reason really, This one is fun and engaging. The special Fx budget might not have been huge, but it's well done. The lead roles of John Carter (Antonio Sabato Jr) and the Princess of Mars (Traci Lords) are particularly good. This is a romance, yes, but the Princess is played with a genuinely fresh new angle, not a feeble woman to be rescued nor an Amazon warrior type. John Carter is likeable and engaging. Yes it's a very unbelievable story but it's enjoyable! and you get to care about the characters. No, the ending is not a cliche! Go on, give it go, you will be entertained! It's not a horror or hi-brow Sci-fi - it is FUN.... See more Dec 7, 2019 Not Traci Lords finest performance but worth a watch for the hilarity. See more May 17, 2019 As an Asylum production, I really wasn't expecting much - but it was way better than I had feared. I certainly wasn't bored. For those who didn't know, due to Martian's longevity, Dejah Thoris was actually a few scores of years old when she met John Carter - a fact that gives the choice of Traci Lords for the part somewhat of a credulity. I think her approach of not showing too much was a plus to the film (also unexpectedly). I enjoyed the plot twist with Afghanistan and Mars 216. The biggest minus is the nonexistent romance buildup. I enjoyed the two-legged dinos, I would have liked another animation with them on the run for when, well, they are in a hurry. The refinery scenery was out of place, but oh well. But Tars Tarkas (Matt Lasky) has a wonderful way of speaking, reminding me a lot of D'Onofrio playing Wilson Fisk, another part I really enjoyed. If only his tusks weren't jiggling... Considering the mediocrity of the much - very much - more expensive Disney adaptation, I think this movie stands ok on its own. See more Read all reviews
