Andrew Stanton, the director of Pixar classics Wall-E & Finding Nemo, jumps right into his first live-action feature with John Carter, a blockbuster adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's classic Barsoom series.
With series like Star Wars, Conan and many more stealing more than it's fair share from Barsoom, the film comes off as nothing original or new. The pacing is heavily uneven, there's too many characters to focus on and you just get the feeling it's missing something huge from the story set-up.
Bad points aside, John Carter is corny, pulpy fun that sets out to purely entertain..
