John Carter, 2 stars in my opinion not a turkey but not worth the 250 million it cost to make or the 200 million dollar write down it cost Disney.

Yeah the films the Burroughs books inspired are far better films though, especially that 4 star masterpiece from 1977 known as star wars that cost a paltry 10 million to make and no cartoon cgi or shooting on video was needed.

They took all the badass superhuman coolness of John Carter and tried to make him a reluctant hero who refuses to fight.

John Carter the greatest swordsman of 3 worlds refuses to fight,lol.

Far worse than the butcher job they did with Tolkien's writing in peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, which still was closer in spirit to those books than John Carter was to A Princess Of Mars.

Because of Disney's hatchet job the Venus Series will now never be made into films, the rest of the martian series won't either, and a faithful tarzan as far as possible minus the racism of the time is now out of the question.
