When I bought 2 copies of the latest Tron movie I received 2 tickets to see John Carter. That helped a lot with the costs since 3D tickets here are now $12.00.
I felt that the movie was very well done, lots of CGI, good acting, chemistry between actors was there, the aliens looked lifelike, lots of action scenes, some romance and a play on emotions (one scene made me cry when John Carter was remembering the death of his wife and daughter.)
I came home and searched ebay for the books so I could read them again. Should have known, the prices were all jacked up with everyone trying to capitalize on the current interest.
So I searched and found some free versions on Amazon Kindle; only the first 5 of 11 books though.
I thought the production was excellent with a nice balance of interest for men and women, and the story line stayed fairly true to the book. Although it has been a few years since I read the book and my memory is less than perfect.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the movie. Just remember it is based on books almost 100 years old and you may not be as jazzed as I was.
