JOHN CARTER (2012) - 10 Minute Movie Review

[@presidentsnow7315]

I really liked this movie. I thought that it was a lot of fun and very underrated.

[@Hadam10Rose]

I liked the movie a lot, even though their will never be a sequel because its a flop, but yea John Carter came out in 1912, I read the book back in high school and both movie and book are better then avatar.

[@theFLICKpick]

@theKage15 You have a valid point, I was just stating how a lot of movies have the same similar story lines.

[@brewt1mer]

i really enjoy your reviews..they flow nicely and never seem forced

[@BrightFire1439]

I enjoyed this movie too, and it lead me to start reading the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs (which was the name of John Carter's nephew in both storylines). Honestly, I was more interested in Tars Tarkas and the Tharks (the green aliens) than in Carter himself. One minor issue I have is that I wish that the story of Tars, his wife, and Sola (his daughter) was more fleshed out in the movie; it's a really tragic and yet triumphant one. I strongly recommend the books, not that the movie was bad.

[@theFLICKpick]

@jeff272 I just might do it again, but shorter

[@JoshQuevedoreviews]

This is awesome, I like all natural uncut stuff. Oh, dude I gave you a shout out in my Total Recall review. Made a really interesting point in your review of the Blu-Ray.

[@theFLICKpick]

@NikstSWE Thanks, yeah I just wish they had picked a better actor for the lead and some action scenes that got your heart pumping.

[@ramenshino]

I freaking love your self-deprecating and slightly dark humour. Awesome channel!

[@theFLICKpick]

@Urudrim hmmm sounds interesting.

[@theFLICKpick]

@CautionItsCoolKat I deleted it on accident a while back, long story.

[@theFLICKpick]

@MoviePreviews2011 Thanks for letting me know a few differences.

[@ThatMcflyGuy]

I'm currently reading the first book. John Carter of Mars is an awesome series, the author heavily influenced George Lucas. Burroughs also created Tarzan of the Apes.

[@theFLICKpick]

@ReconnectTMC Yeah I have yet to see it, I would of assumed he was a bad guy in it, just because its him.

[@theFLICKpick]

@SirTyJensen Yeah TDKR Is a must in IMAX, I didn't see this in IMAX though I think it might of been worth it to some extent.

[@jeff272]

Keep up doing the unedited review is very cool.

[@ttandc]

I knew of the book series but in the early 1980's maybe 1970's Marvel comics bought the rights to John Carter of Mars. And made an ongoing comic called John Carter Warlord of Mars. I'd imagine that because Disney bought Marvel last year they now own everything Marvel does. Thanks for the Review :)

[@theFLICKpick]

@cauwel3 Yeah that was my statement.

[@theFLICKpick]

@colehamelsfan1 Thanks, I dont know how you made it all the way.

[@theFLICKpick]

@keytrixz Yeah I dont get how they spent so much money on it.

[@theFLICKpick]

@SuperGluby nope

[@theFLICKpick]

@videogamegenius have yet to see it

[@theFLICKpick]

@ou81twoz Yeah i think it might be one sequel he wont have to worrie about.

[@theFLICKpick]

@22soultaker nope

[@johnbob202]

great review! i really enjoyed this movie, i don't understand why people are bashing it. And you're right about disney looking for another franchise, i think tron:legacy was a good example of that as well.

[@theFLICKpick]

@JakandDaxter19988 John Flick of Uranus is golden man, haha. Why didn't you give me that idea before I shot this video I could of used it.

[@NathanVanattan]

Great review John, one of of my favourite parts, when the Ghost comes!

[@NikstSWE]

To continue what I said in the previous message. There was one difference that bothered me and that was the difference in the character of Sola, the alien female that was "tied" to John Carter, that was supposed to take care of him. In the books she is allot stronger in character. She isnt such a pushover that she is in the movies. She does have a soft side, especially towards John Carter. But she does have a tough side. That was the only thing that bothered me.

[@videogamegenius]

@theFLICKpick Have you seen Immortals? If so what did you think of it. I just saw it.

[@theFLICKpick]

@BillyJustis I stand by Avatar I like it

[@theFLICKpick]

@HBOX1000 agreed

[@theFLICKpick]

@brewt1mer thank you

[@vid_ed_dino]

I saw it and I'm a big fan of the novels. There are some differences, but all of them work somehow even better than in the novel. For example, in the novels, his transportation to Mars has always been a mystery. While here, you get to see how he gets there. And it works. Some other stuff like in the film Tars Tarkas is Jeddak, while in the novel, Tal Hajus is. All in all, I really liked the film, great characters, some amazing scenes (learning-to-walk sequence) and hope we get to see a sequel.

[@sfighter991]

Good Review, I didn't see this, but I'm interested in finding the book and reading.

[@BoandBuckHickFlicks]

One take, just like Silent House! Good review. Hope to go see this tonight.

[@kins1894]

I really agree with your thoughts, not gonna leave, even watching it now in 2021, The CG does hold up

[@NikstSWE]

Nice review! Just got home from the movies. Really enjoyed the movie. I agreed with basically everything you said. Great first part, okish middle and a good ending. Im reading the trilogy right now, this movie is based on the first book. Havent finished the first book yet but from what Ive read so far there is allot of differences. To many to type them down here. But I can see why they did it. To little time to introduce all the different characters that do everything. So they had a few do more.

[@drofydoc]

that makes complete sense when you say that there are only so many story lines to branch off of

[@Urudrim]

spoiler alert; the sequel to this movie has john carter going back to mars, he ends up in the forests of the 'underworld' meets the white and black martian races and his son, and then a huge airship battle. all of this as a backdrop to rescuing the incomparable dejah thoris (again)... and a heart wrenching cliffhanger (the first cliffhanger ever?) it will be an awesome movie.

[@theFLICKpick]

@moviemagic6 yeah I completely agree with that.. all mediocre

[@videogamegenius]

@theFLICKpick I did see Immortals.

[@NikstSWE]

@theFLICKpick I didnt mind Taylor, he was actually good. But your right about the action scenes. The first one on Mars was good, when he is jumping from ship to ship and fighting the soldiers. The end battle is pretty good as well, all though the should have shown more of the fighting between the masses of soldiers. But nothing really got the heart pumping as you said. The white ape scene didnt do anything for me, a little disappointed with that scene.

[@superwackywabbit]

this book was written a long long time ago. way before Avatar. If anything it is similar to "A Moment in Time" beautiful piece acted by young Christopher Reeves and young hottie Jane Seymour. No Mars premise but still a man outta his element.

[@MaffmanJones]

Yay no cuts!

[@karatejack1996]

The name of the highlander is christopher lambert. He was a star of several B-Movies in the 1980's. He did a bunch of crap in the 90's and his last role was in ghost rider 2.

[@ReconnectTMC]

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy Mark Strong wasn't a villain but because of what you say I kept thinking he would be

[@narutobboy]

Your really funny bro, you got yourself a new sub!

[@theFLICKpick]

@mpradu1 Yeah Im a night owl, I sleep all day.

[@Tj82480]

awesome review

[@SoCalMovieFan]

Don't you think Hugo Weaving also plays villains in most of the movies he's in?

[@SirTyJensen]

Good review, I'll rent this. The subtitles are cute and clever. I won't watch another 3D movie and I doubt I'll see another movie in Imax, maybe I'll see Dark Knight Rises in Imax because I think it will be worth the money and I couldn't see Dark Knight in Imax because I lived in a different town. Mission Impossible 4 is the only 2D Imax movie I seen so far.

[@jamesreddevil666]

Christopher Lambert. He was also Radion

[@graemehar3112]

Funny this is your most edited film. When you said you weren't going to at all.

[@djrogers54]

I loved the movie, it was a great adventure that was epic, cgi was perfect. Cant wait for the blueray, might even go see it again in theaters.

[@danielgoland6455]

Saw the whole thing... Nice review, sounds like an interesting movie. The trailer was meh tho but I might watch it once it's out on DVD or something.

[@theFLICKpick]

@jamesreddevil666 Love MK

[@thevenerableone3838]

i see an Indiana Jones dvd on the shelf *middle* near the R shoulder.

[@angryjalapeno]

Nice DVD shelves.

[@SuperGluby]

did u read the book

[@NiceGuyAidey]

I just saw this, 400 seater cinema, just me and the wife in there!!! Thought it ok, but agree with you John, the second half there are some scenes that would be deleted if i was directing that....

[@CautionItsCoolKat]

John where's your review of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? I couldn't find it.

[@jbeihl1]

if anything avatar ripped off of John Carter not the other way around. Burroughs wrote John Carter of Mars roughly 100 years before Cameron came out with Avatar. People need to educate themselves with the facts before making baseless accusations. Good review by the way.

[@quincy965]

I have a question why do you waste your hard earn money on dvd's?

[@KjProulx]

The light "FLICK"erd :P hahahahaha

[@TheRushfx]

can i have your dvd/bluray collection?

[@cauwel3]

Funny review but it's a little like the movie long and unedited

[@ClasenMovies]

Going to see it tomorrow... :) Thanks for the review. y the way, I saw all 9:37 mins.

[@TheMajorKid]

Great video

[@rkhufu7]

Will the Hulk in The Avengers look as real as these green aliens?

[@theFLICKpick]

@crazzydude0117 your cookies is in the mail

[@ReconnectTMC]

turtles in a half shell, turtle power!

[@owenneil]

+1 for the shirt.

[@keytrixz]

The movie cost too much to make. A sequel is highly unlikely because they wont break even by the rate its going.

[@jamesreddevil666]

im from new mexico it always looks great on film

[@KjProulx]

It's not like AVATAR, AVATAR is like John Carter, because John Carter was written a long, long time ago!

[@CautionItsCoolKat]

Made it through the whole review

[@starkingbiker]

gonna see this today

[@zuludelta100]

Sean Sharter on the planet vulva

[@GeorgeZupster]

I watched it for 20 min than stoped. HORRRROR of film....

[@colehamelsfan1]

did the whole 9:37! and damm love that shirt!

[@crazzydude0117]

i made it through the entire video!!! i wana a cookie! if it makes enough $ there will defiantly be a sequel

[@jamesclukey7488]

If you read the books there is a lot more you will understand about the movie.

[@ald71]

Thanks Brian, now I don't have to go see it. I just wish you would of acted out the scenes. lmao

[@angryjalapeno]

Focus! Focus! Focus!

[@theearnmoreyouagainmoreres8250]

I’ll take silver shackles on my feet to keep the dogs away and round my risk freedom no heart in flesh they just want to gooooooo…,,

[@mfweezy35]

hey buddy

[@bluraymex23]

I only made it to 2:45 Damn me

[@cauwel3]

Avatar pic that was funny

[@Slimdagremlin]

Im gonna be honest I wasnt really feeling this movie

[@vampirictrekki]

i completely hated this movie.

[@gotchaman80]

So this movie isn't about a white boy singer? Not once did you lick your lips or say "You know what I'm sayin". It doesn't sound like DISNEY is doing anything different. Here's the formula - Sci-Fi Book+CG effects=MONEY!!!!! Well just as long as the FANBOYS buy into it.

[@jeff272]

@bluraymex23 hahahha

[@reedsavage]

such an ADD review.......nevertheless.....I couldn't sit through this terrible, infantile flick.......just a film version of an illogical comic book concept.......it made Cowboys Vs. Aliens look like a major work of Art.

[@alexpulham7436]

man you need to reed the books
