Audience Member I thought "Plan 9 From Outer Space" was lousy, this one ranks right down there with it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not Traci Lords finest performance but worth a watch for the hilarity. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the type of old movie you show to your English class after they've read the book and you warned them that the book is much better.
