I finally get to se John Carter.

I really enjoyed John Carter personally, and I didn't think it had much in common with Avatar at all. Plus John Carter is based on an OLD science fiction series, so technically the idea has been around much longer. When I say OLD I mean, like Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, public domain old. Anyway, I thought the movie was fun and adventurous and I'm kinda disappointed that it bombed so badly because I would have loved to have seen more of the series.

I like the idea that he is able to travel in time during the times Mars can sustain life. This movie reminds me of the childhood fantasies of going to Mars. How I wish we already have the technology to go to Mars. I think they compare this to Avatar because you know he is in another planet(in case of Avatar another moon) this is based from a very old novel which is public domain now... so you can download the book version for free.

I have seen this movie, and I even own the book, and it is such a great film and highly under-rated. This film is classic Sci-Fi, and the book was out long before Avatar. Also, I can't see how people can compare this film to Avatar because they are so different. John Carter was written a long time ago, and I mean several years ago, it was one of the first Sci-Fi books ever written. It's a great book, and I thought that the film was great because it wasn't about special effects or explosions or anything like that, it was all about the story, which is something that we need more of in Hollywood. To me, if the film doesn't have a great story, then the special effect mean nothing to me.
