Looking at other reviews for this one surprises me a bit. This one is really an under-appreciated film. One that I enjoyed very much. It is my favorite since the first two. It is one that my brother and I disagree on... as this is his least favorite of the series. not that he didn't like it... he said he did very much... it is just his least favorite. I really liked how this one brings us back to where it all started. I also liked that they took the final fight out of the ring for this one... making it a street fight. Once again I want to say how I am disappointed in the extras for this set. No real extras included.

John Carter, a review by GSyren

Title	John Carter (Netflix)
Director	Andrew Stanton
Actors	Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton
Produced	2012 in United States
Runtime	127 minutes
Audio	English Dolby Digital 5.1
Subtitles	Swedish
Overview	From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton (Best Animated Film, WALL-E, 2008) comes John Carter - a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic novel, John Carter is a war-weary, former military captain who's inexplicably transported to Mars and reluctantly becomes embroiled in an epic conflict. It's a world on the brink of collapse, and Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands. Stunning special effects, great characters and villains - and complete with extraordinary bonus features - John Carter is a heroic and inspirational adventure that will thrill you beyond imagination.
My thoughts	This seems to be a film that most people either love or hate. I didn't hate it, but I couldn't quite get into it, either. I found Taylor Kitsch to be a rather bland hero. He didn't do anything for me. And I tend to get hung up about details. I know it's a fantasy film, and I accept some things while other just annoy me terribly. Air, water and cities on Mars? Well, that's OK, mainly because this was written long before we knew what Mars is really like. And perhaps also to some extent because it is set in the 19th century. Carter's ability to jump is another matter. While the gravity on Mars is less than on Earth, his jumps are just ludicrous. I found the story somewhat disjointed (or was that just because I was getting bored). The CGI was mostly good, but good CGI doesn't impress me much these days. I liked Lynn Collins. I wouldn't mind seeing more of her. So it was not entirely a waste of  time, but not something I'd care to revisit.
My rating

Wonderfalls Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. WAX LION
Jaye thinks she's going insane after a defective wax lion and a brass monkey begin telling her to do thing--and she actually finds herself doing them!

My Thoughts:
This is a really good introduction to the characters. I like how they don't make it clear what it is talking to her through these inanimate objects. Whether is is God, The Devil or if she is just crazy. And talk about a date going wrong.

My Rating:
