John Carter Review

Now before we begin I feel it's important to say that I am not familiar with the John Carter books but I do recognise that they played a large role in influencing sci-fi for 100 years, from Superman to Avatar.

Which is why I'm glad to say that I had a great time with this film, unlike so many others, but there are still a few problems with it.

Well, I have to say, I loved this film, it was fun, creative and really made use of the fact that this is the first Muppet film to hit the big screen in over a decade.
