think they should have kept the original name of the book (A Princess of Mars)


Hell no. Disney is out of the Princess business. They are avoiding the term Princess and Queen in their movies - especially those primarily targeted at males - as much as possible.

They should have had better advertisements for one. The Peter Gabriel song wasn't exactly a match for the movie. If you are going to have a good action/adventure movie then plan your trailer music around that.

They also should have emphasized the fact that it was really the "Godfather" of all sci-fi stories. They sorta did that in the last week or so before it's release, but they should have done that sooner.

The original name of the movie was John Carter of Mars but they changed because movies with Mars in the title have a bad history. No one knew who the hell John Carter was so that hurt it too.

Ummm, no they haven't; they've actually gone back to the princess formula after taking a break from it for 10 years. 3 out of their last 4 films have involved princesses as main character, and looking at Wikipedia, their next one has the Queen's sister (who I'm guessing will be called a princess) as the main character.
