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.

John Carter quotes

  • John Carter: Fifty millions miles apart, and no way to bridge the gap, no way to return my body and my soul to their true home. Like a fool I'd thrown away my medallion. Then I recalled Matai Shang, his knowledge of earth, of my history. It mean Therns were a presence on this world, the cave in Arizona was proof. There might be other such proofs, other Thern way stations hidden all around the world. I knew now what the cave of gold must be used for. So for ten bitter years I searched, on the trail of rumor and legend, I fared it out every possible evidence of Therns, but I found no medallion. And then it came to me. And once it came, there were many plans I had to make in secret. I could trust no one else. I had long suspected that the Therns were following my movements. Now you'll understand the cause of my sudden death. The reason for my bizarre funeral instructions. Why the door can only be opened from the inside. For if my body dies on earth, then my copy dies on Mars. You are the key, this is the task I entrust to you along with all my fortune. Protect my body, the Therns will attempt to destroy it. In the time it has taken you to read these pages, they may have already done so.

  • Edgar Rice Burroughs: I am the key. I am the key! I, Edgar.

    [he looks for clues on the mausoleum door]

    Edgar Rice Burroughs: Ed! E... D!

    [he presses the letters E-D in 'Inter Mundos' engraved on the mausoleum door, but nothing happens, frustrated Burroughs takes out the telegraph Carter had sent him and reads]

    Edgar Rice Burroughs: 'Dear, Ned'. He never called me Edgar. He called me Ned!

    [he presses the letters N-E-D in the 'Inter Mundos' engraved on the mausoleum door and the door opens, Ned is shocked to discover his uncle's body is missing, Matai Shang appears behind him, about to kill him, but Carter appears and shoots him]

    John Carter: Hello, Ned.
