I had a surprisingly fun afternoon watching the new John Carter from Mars movie.I just wanted to pass the time and I thought what I then perceived to be a "B" movie would be a nice way to do it.
I wasn't expecting an Oscar winning performance and I was bracing for an epic failure like the Reboot of the Conan the Barbarian movie. I was also quite familiar with the Traci Lords/Antonio Sabato Jr pukefest "Princess of Mars" released in 2009" so I was expecting a nice nap in the movie theatre. And! The opening credits revealed it was a Disney film, so there would be no gratuitous nudity (BOOOOOO!!!!!) which we've come to expect from almost anything from Edgar Rice Burroughs - who, by the way turns out to be the nephew of John Carter.
Boy was I in for a surprise!
Spoilers here, so don't read on it you haven't seen it.
