John Carter is Desperate for Some Love


Early reviews for Disney’s newest sci-fi franchise are almost unanimously positive, but it doesn’t seem like that’s perked the attention of movie goers. I guess the House of Mouse just didn’t spend enough time getting crowds familiar with John Carter. After all, the flick is based off a book series that’s almost 100 years old. Are we supposed to be that excited?

Well, in an unprecedented move, Disney has released ten entire minutes of footage from the film. Yea… pretty damn desperate. But don’t confuse my snark with animosity. I actually love the thought of revitalizing the old John Carter books, and I actually think this adaptation looks great. I just don’t think Disney has their heads on straight if the movie’s already so close to its debut and they’re pulling these tricks.

Hey, I guess I can’t complain though, this is 10 whole minutes of free blockbuster glory! So sit back, break out that half melted pint of mint chocolate Hagen-Dazs, and enjoy the show!
