I Saw John Carter, So You Don’t Have To

You’re welcome.

Review of John Carter from Toronto Film Scene

John Carter, the new 3D epic from Disney, is the story of John Carter (played by the ironically-named Taylor Kitsch), a bitter former military captain who finds himself transported to Mars, or “Barsoom” as the natives call it. All John Carter wants to do is mine a cave of gold on Earth, but when he meets the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris of Helium (Lynn Collins) and the four-armed giant warrior creature Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe), Carter finds himself drawn into the civil conflict threatening Barsoom. The central question of the movie: will John Carter relent and help fight the good fight, or blow it off and return to his riches on Earth?  CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST
