What does everyone think about this attempt at a new franchise from Disney? I remember seeing it in the theater and I really enjoyed it! I had hoped we would see more in the 'John Carter' universe, but that was not to be. Poor marketing is often blamed, as is critics suggesting it was "derivative".

Loved this movie when it came out. Thought it was rough around the edges, but a hell of an adventure on screen.

To call it derivative though is a joke and betrays an understanding of the impact the novel series had on the Sci-fi genre as a whole.

Absolutely agree on all counts!
