John Carter (2012)

Genre: Action, Sci-Fi

My Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

One of the reasons i started writing my blog is because the mainstream critics seem to always love movies that are realistic, too long and too slow. On the other side, some people like me, want movies to be unreal. We want all that action & drama around it, things that can only happen in the movies, not in real life.

When i heard that it's about a guy, who, one minute is going after gold and chased by Indians, and the other minute, finds himself in Mars, i decided to ignore the critics' poor reviews. Unfortunately, I will have to agree with the critics here about this movie. This movie sucked, it was too long and boring. I somehow got through the entire movie. To start with, the hero doesn't have the screen presence like other action heroes. We do not clearly understand who the villains are, what powers they possess and what they want to do.  It talks about a ninth ray that can give infinite energy but once again, it was vague.

Do not waste your precious two and half hours of life and ignore this.
