John Carter is a pretty average movie overall. It's a very easy watch, though, and that's probably one of its biggest strengths. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy it without having to think too much.I do think it could have been done much better, especially when it comes to the screenplay and the way the story was adapted. I know it's impossible to fit an entire book series into one movie, but they could have made much better choices about which parts to focus on. Personally, I think the opening takes up far too much time. It could have been shortened significantly, or even told through a narrated montage or animated introduction, so the movie could get to the main story much sooner.There are also a few scenes that feel unnecessary and slow the pacing down. On the other hand, I liked the cast. I wouldn't say the performances are outstanding, but they fit the movie well enough. To be fair, neither the script nor the material really demands incredibly complex **** me, the last third of the movie is easily the strongest part. That's when the story finally picks up, the action becomes more exciting, and everything starts coming together.Overall, John Carter isn't a bad movie at all, it just feels like a missed opportunity. I'd honestly love to see a reboot one day with a stronger script, a carefully chosen cast, and a better adaptation of the books. This series definitely deserves another chance.
