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.

    Dejah Thoris: You are on Barsoom, John Carter.

    [Gets up, shocked]

    John Carter: Good God, I'm on Mars.

    Dejah Thoris: So your home is Jasoom? And you came on one of your sailing ships across millions of karads of empty space?

    John Carter: No. Not like that.

    Dejah Thoris: Go on. Shock me. How?

    John Carter: [Points at the thern medallion kept by Tars Tarkas] That brought me here.

    Dejah Thoris: Oh. Well, that explains everything then.

    John Carter: It does?

    Dejah Thoris: Yes. You are a thern. And you simply wish to return to your rightful place, isn't that it?

    John Carter: Yes.

    Dejah Thoris: [Begins to walk away] Then let's sort this out right now. Come along!

    [John follows]

  • Sola: Where are you going?

    Dejah Thoris: To your temple.

    Sola: No! No, you cannot enter here! It is forbidden! You are not Thark!

    [Dejah and John enter so she follows]

    Sola: Dotar Sojat, it is forbidden. It is forbidden!

    Dejah Thoris: Well, you speak for the goddess. What does she say?

    John Carter: [Seeing the engraving on the temple's wall] You called me a thern. Is that what she is?

    Sola: No! She is Issus. Therns are holy messengers of the goddess. In the time of oceans they walked among us, guiding us. We must not offend. Let us go!
