Title: a waste of time and money (no matter how little)
Product review: This film, start to finish, is a complete waste of time. First of all, the writers take great liberties with the Burroughs' books and, in essense, do little more than use the character names for their own story, much of which has nothing to do with the "John Carter" series. The makeups are incredibly bad with no attempt to make the masks fit around the eye or let the actors speak without sounding gagged. Deja Thoris looks nothing like the "vision of beauty" described by Burroughs. And the CGI effects are extraordinarly cheap and poorly done in every scene that needs them. How some people gave this 5 and 4 stars is beyond me unless they kids with little experience with films or reading these books.Bottom line: avoid this ESPECIALLY if you're a Burroughs or John Carter fan.
