If you get a chance, do try to see John Carter in a theater. The incredibly inept ad campaign aside, it's a rousing adventure movie, and- from what I remember from a 35-year-old read- quite reasonably faithful to Burroughs, as well. (As Bunche points out, one of the reasons so many of the elements in the movie may feel familiar is that Lucas, Cameron, et al. borrowed liberally from Burroughs in the first place.) Well, well worth seeing in a theater.

i enjoyed it far more than i thought i would have. the marketing was completely poorly done.

pretty interested in seeing this - I don't read movie reviews, hardly ever see any movies, but I'm into seeing a Burroughs adaptation whether it succeeds at the box office or no!

Run, don't walk (not least because it'll probably leave theaters soon)
