A Review of the movie John Carter by Marie Parsons (@mantoniap)
John Carter is a
happy entertainment, and I recommend it. Set aside thoughts of the Burroughs
novel upon which the movie is adapted, and just enjoy the movie.
I was predisposed not to like the movie, I confess. Edgar
Rice Burroughs was one of my three favorite SF authors, growing up. I read all
the Barsoom books, more than once, and recently re-read A Princess of Mars. I had
visualized the characters in certain ways, I loved the flow of the story, and I
wanted the movie to be true to the novel.
