Review title: Not only bad marketing, a very, very lousey screenplay
Product review: I loved the John Carter series. I also really liked the idea that this movie, and possible follow-ups, were intended to stay true to that series. The Princess of Mars was a very good and exciting story as written by E.R. Burroughs. How the writers of this film could have turned that simple story into a totally incoherent mess is beyond me? The film is visually stunning so it makes this mess even sadder. If you buy this DVD, just watch it with the sound turned off and you you are likely to enjoy the beauty, thoughtfulness and effort that went into its filming and special effects. Otherwise, don't waste your money. The writers should be ashamed of themselves for ruining what might have been one of the best science fiction movies in years.
