Plain and simple, I had a really good time watching Disney's John Carter. Seeing the
film in imax 3D proved to be a stunning and joyful piece of spectacle
shattering any doubts I may had about the project within minutes of it
starting. No small part of this success comes from Pixar’s Andrew
Stanton who has really brought a lot of fun and excitement to this
adaptation, which not only seems to stay faithful enough to the
Burroughs novels but is equally very much the vision of the director.
Much like Spielberg's recent big-screen version Tintin this in some ways
feels as though it is a film out of its time, but that certainly isn’t
an insult, it makes it feel almost timeless. With around 100 years of
waiting under its belt you could certainly say this project has been
through a bit of development hell; but looking at the finished product
it seems to have been worth the wait. A fantastically fun film.
4/5
