Review of John Carter (2012) by Ranma S — 29 Dec 2014
It's ok - it passed the time, but I'm glad that I waited to watch it on TV rather than going off to the cinema. There's nothing wrong with it, I just got the sense that I'd seen it before. (In particular, it reminded me of the 1980s Flash Gordon film: "Let's all team up and fight him!") In fairness, I think that the book (written 100 years ago) inspired the other films, so it was an original story at that point, but that doesn't change how I view it now.
Be aware that there are subtitles at the start, so you can't really leave this on in the background while you do something else: you need to pay attention to the screen.
