I liked it...

...I saw it at the $6.00 matinee and enjoyed it. They did try to cram too much plot from books 1,2 and a little of 3 into the film. It would have been better to slow down a bit but, I understand why they do this for the first film when they don't know if they will do a sequel yet. But I think they will. It's getting good word of mouth here and doing even better overseas. Some people here are complaining about the Star Wars/Avatar similarities. With most not understanding that John Carter was written in 1912 and influenced the plot/aliens/themes/characters/ships in Star Wars/Avatar and other Sci-fi movies. Sigh...many people don't know sci-fi history. John Carter came first. Anyway, see this movie on the big screen before it goes away. And Woola seems to have become the breakout star of the film. He needs his own show...
