John Carter is based on the novels of Barsoom. I don't know what Disney was thinking or why. But for whatever reason more than 100 years after the novel's first printing. They have produced 'John Carter'. Clearly this is not a story the American people have been waiting for. Why would we, when Superman is based off the same basic principle. A man goes to a different planet. And b/c of the differences on this planet versus where he is originally from. This man has abilities not previously possessed on Earth.
Once he's on Mars there's a princess who's fighting a losing battle for her planet. John can help, but refuses to get involved. Still troubled by the loss of his family, during the civil war. John is having trouble committing to any cause now. Kinda understandable when you're in a movie that cost $250 Million to make and you only get $68 mil back on it. (domestic)
Why go see this movie? I don't have a good answer for that. If you got a chance to see it for free or you want to get rid of the kids for an afternoon. This'll be right up your alley. Outside of that. Save your duckets for the pleathorea of other cinema that'll be out this summer.
