ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

shametarr We've all seen interpretations of Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, etc.. This is yet another! Despite the fact that John Carter in this film was not a Civil War soldier does nothing to destroy the basic premise of the Edgar Rice Burroughs story. Please watch before you form an opinion.

slimfan Antonio Sabato, Jr. is possibly the worst actor of his generation. And his acting "skills" are put to good use in this terrible adaptation of the beloved Edgar Rice Burroughs novel, "A Princess of Mars." Obviously bad acting, with a cast of the worst Soap Opera actors and middle-age porn stars money can rent, special effects that were done on a TRS-80, and Martian masks that your 3rd grader made in art class.Yes, it's terrible. On the other hand, some people like terrible movies, and Asylum must be doing something right because they're still in business. My auntie thinks the Sharknado films are hilarious, and, if nothing else, their films do keep terrible actors like Sabato from turning to gay porn, and former porn actresses from ending up in legit movies. AND, I guess Asylum does give would-be directors a chance to recognize they're not cut out to direct, so there's that, too. So, if you have no expectations, and laughing along with terrible movies is your thing, who am I to discourage you?

diastrofeas The film without the plot is just awful, effects to laugh at, fights that you are expecting to see in amateur night, and actors that defy any form of acting.... But to use a perfect book, such as Princess of Mars for that petty excuse of a movie... That will probably make the bones of Edgar Rice Burroughs rattle in his grave... I'm very disappointed to see his work twisted this way... The whole idea was to bring the book up-to-date i suppose, by making John Carter (the hero) a soldier (sniper) that is participating in an experiment of quantum de-materialization, in order to re-materialize in a different planet (Mars). The experiment is a success and after that he encounters numerous terrors, and I mean to use the word literally - such make up effects and costumes are terror to sci-fi enthusiasts - till he meets his partner on screen, the Princess (now that's something entirely different - what where they thinking when they cast the role of a princess to Tracy???) Anyway, I guess it's a good movie to see if you're waiting for a dentist appointment, surely will numb the pain if you manage to see the whole film!!!

Shaun Choo This is my third review in the series of Asylum films. This film is undoubtedly the worst Asylum film I have seen so far. Let me tell you why.First of this film's DVD cover has the tag line "The classic story that inspired James Cameron's Avatar." I think you can tell what film they are trying to use to market this film.So anyway the story is about a soldier who meets an almost fatal end. But before he dies, his commanding officer sends him to Mars. Not the Mars that we have come to know of today but a different type of Mars where he can rest and recuperate. Inevitably he lands in the middle of a war on the planet and instead has to find a way to put an end to this war. Oh and there is a princess thrown in just for fun.Lets start with whats good about this film. The CGI is the only thing that does not suck that much.Now the bad part. Where do I begin. OK firstly the character that Antonio Sabato Jr plays is just plain boring,half the time his acting is just plain stiff. I was dying for just a hint of decent action. Even the fight sequences is boring. Then there's the princess played by former porn star Traci Lords. Her acting is probably the worst among all the actors.As a matter of fact the whole movie was boring and lame with the same cheesy lines you know of.The writing is just stupid and clumsy. With no thought of anything original to write about. And as for the directing I seriously think that the director has not the slightest clue on where the camera should be placed.Give this damn film a pass, believe me you will not be missing anything out if you skip this film.My next Asylum review will be on the film "I am Omega".
