It's pretty good-looking. It completely reminds me of the ancient fantasy adventure movies. It is like a tribute to the style of "Star Wars", entertainment is popular and romantic, and the reality of the earth and Mars are intertwined and has a taste of metaphysics. It's a pity that the actor's performance is not very pleasing, and the subject matter is incompatible with modern fashion, so marketing may be difficult to focus on.

Excluding the failure of the actor, the whole film is really well executed. The director has fully grasped the rhythm and depth that this retro entertainment film should have. Perhaps the degree of completion can be enhanced a little bit, and the density can be higher, but It's enough to surprise me now.

    The story is indeed too old-fashioned••• and the typical American heroism••• one person killed one army••• But the four stars of others are completely given to the male protagonist's face! ! ! Hehe~

    Xingmei Chia Tai IMAX It’s rare that Disney will make such a grand commemorative work, and even using the Pixar team, you may not understand the ingenuity until the last minute. After all, it is a real-life debut, and Andrew is traveling to Mars in such a big time and space scene. The narrative schedule is obviously a little less popular. Fortunately, at the end of the film, Jobs's statement dedicated to all those who chase dreams is enough to make the audience aware of everything, indeed the only major production in March.

John Carter quotes

  • Dalton: [back at Carter's estate, Dalton reads from Carter's will] And lastly, I hereby direct, that my estate shall be held in trust for twenty five years. The income to benefit my beloved nephew, Edgar Rice Burroughs. At the end of which term, the principal will revert to him, in full.

    Edgar Rice Burroughs: [Burroughs looks shocked] Of course, I always adored him, but it's been so long. Why me?

    Dalton: He never offered an explanation, I never asked him for one.

    [Dalton passes an old looking journal to Burroughs]

    Dalton: It was his private journal. He was most explicit that you, and only you, would read its contents. You might possibly find some kind of explanation in here. I'll leave you now.

    [Dalton stands and offers his hand to Burroughs]

    Dalton: Again, my condolences.

    [Dalton turns and leaves]

  • John Carter: [voice over] My dear Edgar, I remember how I used to take you on my knee and tell you wild tales, which you always did me the great courtesy of believing. Now you are grown, time and space have parted us, but I reach out across that distance, to that same wide eyed boy and ask him to believe me once more. This wild tale begins thirteen years ago, in the Arizona Territory, between the Pinaleño Mountains and the backside of hell.
