John Carter

It was okay. They did a terrible job of balance. The effects of gravity was based on the scene and what the director needed.

The story was a bit childish and underwritten along with the ending. Would I recommend it? No, only because the ending leaves you with a feeling of loss. This is not a spoiler, as some would think it was a happy ending but if you are like me you think of beyond the movie and the feelings of the characters as if they were real people.

I read the first three books as a in middle school. I was expecting so much more out of the movie. If they would have stuck to the books it would have been far better. It left me feeling like I had wasted 2 hours of my life. Some of the visuals were alright but over all the acting was subpar and it you didn't feel for any of the characters.

But did they try to compress the 3 books into one movie? If so, that can be understandable, if they knew going in it wasn't going to be a trilogy and was just going to be a one-shot. However, if they just made up the majority of the story, that is pretty weak.

It is actually an older book series. George Lucas has cited it as a primary influence on the original Star Wars series. The first book came out early in the 20th century
