this is an action-packed sci-fi film with much in the way of eye-popping 'cgi' which is advancing in terms of spectacular at quite a pace.
a disney treat worth watching in both or either 3D or 2D vision.

My own opinion from having experienced the 3D movie at the cinema... it's marmite -

Over long and over bearing story stretched to the limits... a decent storyline would have benefited the cast and the movie immensely... all CGI and no knickers... an austrialian living the life of Calamity Jane suddenly becomes an expert with a samurai sword... oh yes.. he can jump.

The 3D is irritating.. during some scenes, characters within the movie obscure your view, when it would be best to be as a participant rather than as an outsider to the group. Try the movie - but rent it.

I had a terrific time with JOHN CARTER, and I truly think the majority of you will too. Ignore the buzz, and make up your own minds.

I think it's just great. Great story, not exactle like the books but close enough (books also great).
Great plot and a lot of action.

Good all round family entertainment,special effects and 3d effects were first class, as you would expect from disney .
