She was unecessary and shouldn't have been in the movie. Guy pierce, yeah bad call. Hated the shoehorned alien

Don't mind the lingering questions about the engineers, hate how the ooz functioned inconsistently without a clear explanation as to what the frick it is and does

Still, visual flair. High production values, Michael Fassbender gives a great performance. Noomi rapace is excellent and all of the people shitting on it will probably say that they like John carter, immediately invalidating their opinion on science fiction.

If you love late 70s early 80s sci fi, then it's awesome

Unimportant in a Transformers movie.

John Carter had a plot and low expectations. So, the complete opposite of Prometheus.

Pretty much agree with all of this. It was a good movie experience for me. Nothing more. Far from awful.

Wow. That's bold.

To each his own man, no need to start insulting people who may or may not know more about science fiction than you do.

And for what it's worth, these are two completely different takes on science fiction:

1. John Carter tried to pay homage to the adventurous nature of the origins of science fiction

2. Prometheus tried to break science down, ask large deep questions, and make the viewer think.

John Carter succeeded in what it set out to do, Prometheus just didn't.
