Title: A cheesefest of epic proportions
Product review: What do you get when you mix a great book with sub-standard production as only Asylum can do? You get this piece o' cheese. My favorite part is early in the movie when John Carter first encounters the Tharks. The director tries to use camera angles to suggest the Tharks are much taller than John Carter but within a few shots just says "the hell with it" and makes them the same size. Traci Lords as Dejah Thoris is more like the "Spinster of Mars" as she seems too old for the role. Plus, she always has this look on her face like she's really cheesed about something (maybe the fact that she has to do Asylum movies to earn a living). The Thark masks are horrible and not even in a good way. Tars Tarkas (Matt Lasky) is also way over-dramatic in his line delivery. Watch it once just so you can say you did, then forget about it and wait for a better adaptation.
