Princess of Mars (2009)
congrats! this is the worst novel adaptation I've ever seen!!!
It is total insult! An insult to the ERB, an insult to the fans of Barsoom series, and insult (hopefully) to the upcoming "John Carter of Mars". I would have expected more even from a mock buster... I mean even with a low budget, why wasn't it possible to just stick to the plot of a book? Why did they need all that stupid Afghan/Iraq or whatever else stuff? Why trying to make John Carter just some kind of nowadays marine? How would that explain him being the greatest swordsman on two worlds? Does marine training include swordsmanship? Just give me a break! I'll just say no more, otherwise i'll start swearing :( Compare to this, Travolta's "Battlefield earth" is a great adaptation...
And the the princess... well guess what... She's over 40... I mean the whole movie I was trying to convince myself that she was hot... but I definitely had too few beers!
