Saw John Carter.
Took me back to when I saw The Time Machine back in the day.
It's not bad, your kids will enjoy it. But it's not that interesting, nor gives the characters time to develop much depth. It plays out like a number of hollow saturday morning cartoons that are interesting for what they are but not meant to really be thought about much afterwards. I grew bored with the other characters besides Carter himself who was very interesting, but the movie DOESN'T DO ANYTHING WITH HIM or his tragic backstory. He seems to not have any real issues because of it. So weird.
Flash Gordon with a 250 million dollar budget. And no queen song. I kept thinking, this motherfucker would be so much better with some FLASH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH. instead of the Lost Soundtrack it has for a score. Shit was good when it tried to sound like a weird bizarre scifi adventure then it went back to being Lost episode. Gayness.
But it doesn't deserve to bomb like it did. It's not a dumb movie. Nor is it as bad as most of the crap we get these days. It just doesn't quite peak as well as it should have.
