John Carter (2012)
Appealing effects,Appalling movie!
8 August 2012
John Carter directed by Andrew Stanton is a dull movie.

The effects are pretty awesome,but yet the movie suffers due to its lack of story,bad performances and its length.

Story: John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), a Civil War veteran who in 1868 was trying to live a normal life, is "asked" by the Army to join. But he refuses so he is locked up. He escapes and is pursued. Eventually they run into some Indians and there's a gunfight. Carter seeks refuge in a cave. While there he encounters someone who is holding some kind of medallion. When Carter touches it, he finds himself in a place where he can leap incredible heights, among other things. He later encounters beings he has never seen before. Later he meets a woman who helps him to discover that he is on Mars. And he learns there's some kind of unrest going on.

The story bears a little resemblance to that of Avatar.

The direction is poor.

The special effects are good.

The action sequences are excellent.

The cinematography is amazing.

Performances: Taylor Kitsch is below the mark.Lynn Collins is wasted.Samantha Morton is able.

All in all,John Cater is a bad watch.I am giving it a two on ten.Colossal Disappointment!
