I've said it in other threads about this movie:
Disney cannot plaster its brand on something and expect it to lend credence to the movie. If the movie is to be sci-fi, PG-13, and have a bunch of action in it, Disney should keep its name away from the opening of the trailer. It makes it seem like it will be a kids movie.
In the case of John Carter, my understanding is that it's kind of like Pirates in that it should have universal appeal. The problem is: if you make it seem like a kids movie, the adults don't want to see it, so you better capture the younger audience; but if you advertise with a depressing song about your body being a cage, you aren't going to capture the younger audience. So you lose both audiences immediately. Stupid.

I definitely see what you are saying and how that might have affected it.
I agree with what everyone in here is saying. The movie did take a while to get me into it but once it did I was hooked. They could have cut a good 20-25 mins out the movie also or used that time to build a better foundation for the story.
As for me wanting a sequel, somebody pointed to it earlier. They can go so much more in depth on pretty much every angle. From the therns to (don't want to give spoilers) the aftermath.

Which is why the name of the movie should have been named "Barsoom" "The Princess of Mars" or "The Gods of Mars".. or something along those lines.. oh well, hind sight is 20/20.
