1 The actor's acting skills are unremarkable.
2 The cinematic art setting is mediocre and unbright.
3 Too much reliance on computer production, too fake production of scene characters, too strong CG sense.
4 The story is too far-fetched and there are too many loopholes.
5 The storyline is childish and unattractive.
6 There is no character that can really move people.
7 After dragging and pulling for more than two hours, many contents can be completely deleted.
8 Inexplicable character settings. Are there Earthlings on Mars?
9 There are too many elements in the show, and there is almost no sense of reality.
10 inexplicable alien technology.
11 Inexplicable Martian biological settings.
12 The setting of the super civilization behind the scenes that will destroy the story.
13 scenes, costumes and other artistic styles are inconsistent, tattered, and the feeling of patchwork.
14 The sense of substitution is not strong. From the beginning to the end, it is the feeling of a few Mars tribes fighting for a little.
15 Too many main characters and too many main lines make the movie drag and drop.
16 is too fantastical, childish and young.
17 The plot is old-fashioned, with no bright spots, and nothing new.
18 The illogical Martian biological chain.
19 A giant beast appeared out of nowhere.
20 Too much overused VFX is aesthetically exhausting.

    The plot is complete, and it is a typical Disney entertainment film that can be enjoyed by the whole family. The art settings are also good, and there are even some scenes that remind me of Frazetta's Princess of Mars.

    The story of the American cavalry going to Mars to become a superman reminds me of a certain Doraemon theatrical version... Watching the male protagonist dressed as a barbarian killed and killed for two hours without a brain, the ending is too sudden...

John Carter quotes

  • John Carter: [as they are pursued by the Thark tribe, Carter touches Dejah's hand and has flashback to coming home after the war to find his home burned with his wife and his daughter inside]

    Sola: Dotar Sojat!

    Dejah Thoris: What are you doing?

    John Carter: [he jumps off the lizard-horse creature] Sola, get her out of here.

    Dejah Thoris: No! Carter!

    John Carter: I was too late once. I won't be again.

    Dejah Thoris: No! No! No! No!

    [Carter tries to force Woola to flee with the women, but Woola remains, as the Thark tribe reach him, Carter leaps in the air and onto the warriors, with each slash of his sword he flashbacks to burying his wife and daughter and placing his wife's wedding ring on his hand, then the Tharks begin to overwhelm him and Carter disappears under a pile of Thark warriors]

  • Tardos Mors: [In Zodanga the wedding procession is taking place, Dejah walks towards her father] I know that this is not the fate you'd have chosen for yourself, or for Helium. But choice is a luxury, even for a Jeddak of Barsoom. Even if in your heart...

    Dejah Thoris: The heart is a luxury.

    [Tardos starts walking Dejah down the isle towards Sab Than]

    Tardos Mors: Steady.

    Matai Shang: [Matai Shang is next to Sab Than as they watch Dejah and her father walk towards them] Remember, she is not the prize. The prize is Barsoom.
