Oh man, the first trailer was mind blowing because it was dramatic and deep. But now this one is just like some Summer action flick. I hope the movie will be dramatic and deep
There is a wealth of fantasy and science fiction stories that Hollywood could dip into for films. This is the sort of thing they can do well and could do fabulously well these days with modern CGI techniques and some good writing. I used to love Edgar Rice Burroughs stories when I was a kikd. I hope they do a good job on this film. The trailer makes it look promising.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know if comic book writer Alex Raymond used Edgar Rice Burroughs 'John Carter' series as inspiration for his 'Flash Gordon' comics? The two stories do seem similiar.
They really need to start doing some heavy advertising on this film. Less them 2 months to go until its release and i havnt heard any buzz about this movie
@Ralokone He's giving a rousing speech in a trailer while blue. Other weird visual echoes include the arena fight which is like Attack of the Clones with the Achilles one-shit-kill from the start of Troy, and the bit with the woman in the glowing temple which looks a bit like the Tree of Souls ponytail uplink scene with Neytiri.
@IncredibleGoliath You are making completely random connections you know that? You are saying that and arena resembles and arena . . you might aswell bitch that he has legs because the characters in jurassic park has legs!
There is no tree, nor indication of a ponytail link up in that temple, and what are you talkign about troy for?
also, this is an adaption of a book written in 1912, before star wars, avatar, and the MOVIE troy existed
@Ralokone When the book was written is beside the point (although I did happen to know about it). The film is going to play to people who've seen Avatar and don't know about the book, so things that look like rip-offs are going to be assumed to be rip-offs. Is that fair? Probably not. Does it mean the film-makers should have made an effort to avoid things that would have seemed like lifts from recent films? Arguably it does.
@IncredibleGoliath You have already dug yourself into a hole, no sense pretending you knew what you were talking about and defending your completely nullified position
also attack of the clones came out ten years ago, and troy eight . . . they arent exactly recent . . .
@Ralokone The success of this movie is obviously of personal importance for you for some reason. I didn't mean to shake your taste for liking something that seems so obviously derivative, just relate my own impressions on watching the trailer. I hope the film lives up to both of our expectations. :-)
@IncredibleGoliath It is NOT derivative, you are latching onto thigns that make no sense. One shot kills were not invented from troy (that is from the book btw), arenas were not invented by attack of the clones (from the original book btw), and glowing lines on the ground shares no similarity with attaching your hair to a tree other than the fact the tree glowed.
you are are either mentally retarded or a fucking liar and I am in no mood to deal with it
@Ralokone I was being ironic about it being derivative, you silly. I already told you I know about the books. You still haven't understood the point of my first comment, lol, yet insist that I'm the mentally deficient one. Too hilarious... XD
@Ralokone The scene in Attack of the Clones WAS actually influenced completely by John Carter so that's far from random. So many things from the books have been used in recent sci-fi films which makes this film look like a huge cliché, which might make it suffer. I hope it doesn't because I like the books, but I fear it might.
@IncredibleGoliath My God you must have an IQ less than my shoe size. John Carter was written in 1912 dipshit. Almost a century before Avatar, Attack of the Clones, and Troy were even conceptualized.
0:37 I was skeptical of Taylor Kitch in the role since he doesn't look nearly as masculine or ripped as I imagined the character to be from the Frazetta paintings, but he sold me with the way he says the line: "Yes, ma'am."
I can see there are a lot of ignorant people who go throwing out of their mouths anything they don't investigate. do not criticize until you read one of the books in a series of 11. I would suggest reading the first book (A Princess of Mars) and then decide. Probably can't ready anyway.
say goodbye to violence, blood, sex or anything remotely interesting. Thank you disney for ruining absolutely everything just so a 10 year old is "allowed" to watch it, who probably won't understand it anyways.
Besides...I watched way worse shit and I was much younger...so ratings are bullshit anyway.
he isnt superhuman, Gravity on Mars is less than Earth's gravity, and so since he's used to earth's gravity, he can jump extremely high and has more power in his strikes on mars
@warnation101 And how is anyone supposed to know this is Edgar Rice Burroughs? It's called JOHN CARTER, not JOHN CARTER OF MARS. It could be about anything. Obviously people who know the former title know it's made from the BARSOOM, and not the "John Carter" series, for which there is no such thing. I have not seen the word "Barsoom" anywhere in these comments.
Hey Burroughs fans, no matter if this film good or not, let's go and pay for a ticket anyway, this looks good enough as an attempt of adaptation! The greatest fantasy/sci-fi sagas of them all, together with his "Venus series"... I don't care if babies will be comparing this to their Avatar, i just finally want to see ANY adaptation! Don't care if Carter looks too young here and Dejah isn't good enough, still wanna see this film, the most anticipated film of 2012!
@KingVegeta80 The Navi were not an intergalactic species (rather a haphazardly cobbled together race with no discernible originality to culture, but certainly not resembling the smurfs who at the very least had original and interesting concepts unique to their culture)
These are just supposed to be monster . . .really that is how they are in the book, they are heartless, they laugh at pain and suffering and John Carter kills takes over their civilization and uses them as pawns
@ostsgamesandmovies are you twelve? Just asking . . .are you twelve? You realize that they arent real right? and that they have no obligation to look real! And that the aliens have never looked real in any movie ever . . . you realize these things right?
For all of you who think this is a rip off of Avatar or any other RECENT fantasy movie, you are GRAVELLY mistaken.This movie is based off of a best selling series of John Carter novels written by the great sci fi author Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912! None of the creators of Avatar was even alive..I read this novel..its great
@RTDavis0503 just because of the source material is like 90 years old doesn't mean the visual style of a movie made in 2011 can't heavily draw from and be indebted to the highest grossing movie of all time
@guochocinco I assume you are talking about avatar right? You do know that James Cameron admitted to a Burroughs influence (the creator of John Carter)
as for visuals, there really isnt much that resembles avatar in any way . . . . really there isnt, the aliens are tall but they dont look like Navi, the animals have multiple limbs, but that is from the books . . . and there is beautiful desert landscapes . . . which is not samething avatar is known for
@iHaveOneArm Right!! They don't know this story inpired the story of Superman..man goes to a strange world and gets super powers due to the gravity (or in Supes case the Sun)
@ninjabastard2 The first book by Edgar Rice Burroughs about John Carter was called "A Princess of Mars". Princess referred to the Martian woman Dejah Thoris who was John Carter's chick in the book.
@RTDavis0503 i loved the books my uncle introduced them to me like 10 years ago and by far the second novel is my favorite but i am so excited about this movie
@furryindustries My big brother was a huge sci fi nerd and it actually was his books I read, The Princess of Mars is the one this movie is based on..mostly. First one I read
@Ralokone - plus..don't forget the gravity on Mars is less than Earth's....great story BTW ("Princess....). Got it as an ebook and rereading the tale after so many decades. Glad to see Hollywood finally made a decent movie recently
@kambalu John Carter, adaption of "A princess of mars" written by AMERICAN author Edgar Rice Burroughs beetween the years 1911 and 1912 released during that time in serialized increments
So freakin happy they finally made a movie for of John Carter from Burroughs Barsoom series. I first read the book A Princes of Mars in like seventh grade and was hooked. I ended up reading most of the other books in the Barsoom series Warlords of Mars being my second favorite. I wonder if the movie is based soley on the first book? Tars Tarkas looks almost like I would have imagined him. Cant wait to see this movie in March.
What's the name of the mix of the song throughout the latter half of the trailer? I know it's lifting the rhythm from Come With Me by Puff Daddy (which lifted the beat from Kashmir by Led Zeppelin) but is there a place where I can find the mix used in this trailer?
To clarify for everyone who doesn't know: the John Carter/Barsoom stories came out in the early 1900s. They, along with other early science fiction works, are the basis of science fiction today. James Cameron created Avatar out of his inspiration from John Carter. Star Wars, Star Trek, and basically many other alien-related stories can be traced back to Edgar Rice Burroughs, John Carter, and the Barsoom novels.
@sknhpotter618 pfft. I thought Avatar was based off of Dances with wolves. Guy leaves his people to live amongst the natives. meets girl. fights back at his own people. 3 hours long. yep.
To all the stupid, illiterate fucking assholes comparing this to Star Wars, Avatar etc., the book this film is based on is almost a century old, or even older possibly. Avatar was a derivative piece of shit and Star Wars was a campy, childish piece of shit that derived from mythologies throughout history.
what the hell is wrong with you kids, the book has been here longer then me, and im 44, read (google it) it, its an awesome series of books by ER Burroughs
i can tell this is gona suck i mean the Grean aliens are nothing like the ones in the bloody book, plus this is disney, Plus that scene in the opening never happened like that. Why make a film if your just going to fuck up the source.
@Ralokone In the books the green aliens are described as great big huge beast giants compared to john. So its more astonishing when he fells one with a single blow. These aliens look cute like a disney movie (yes i know its a disney move) i'm open to change but to change the whole feeling and look of a story is a step too far. I wonder if the ending is the same i mean come on that ending was brilliant. The opening scene is very important its when he meets kans kartos who helps him escape.
@adsasfd NO! That is not the beginning of a princess of mars, he doesnt even meet kantos kan until halfway through the book!
I presume you mean when he meets Tars Tarkas at the incubator! That part is kept, the events on earth are changes around a bit though (but he still dies in a cave to my knowledge!)
@adsasfd Honestly, I dont care how much they change the story . . . I care more about how much they change the world itself, they can do anything they like to the story but the world of barsoom . . . that needs to star as barsoom as can be to me!
For example, if there was a Calot Tree (warlord of mars) in this film, I would be okay with it, because it is something from the universe!
let us just aggree that it will be better than Asylums princess of mars XD
@Ralokone True, that movie was awful lol. Lets hope we get a good movie but i would feel more at ease if A director such as Peter Jackson made this movie.
@adsasfd peter jackson is asking for alot . . . you should look at his pre LOTR resume, not exactly inspiring! Sure he is brilliant, but you wouldnt think he was capable of the LOTR style of epic based on his previous work!
and truth be told, Asylums princess is not the worst adaption of a book to film I have seen, that is probably why it is so painful to watch though. Because some of the right elements adn structure is there, just poorly executed!
@Ralokone i thought he did some decent horror flicks in the 80s The frightners was very underrated and Brain dead is a cult classic. But i understand what you mean. yea that film was bad i just dont understand why there made that garbage
Finally something original from Disney (never thought I'd say that) and it looks badass too. Loved the choir version of Kashmir, it made that song even more epic, which I didn't think was possible.
this is how a god of war movie supposed to look like

So freakin happy they finally made a movie for of John Carter from Burroughs Barsoom series. I first read the book A Princes of Mars in like seventh grade and was hooked. I ended up reading most of the other books in the Barsoom series Warlords of Mars being my second favorite. I wonder if the movie is based soley on the first book? Tars Tarkas looks almost like I would have imagined him. Cant wait to see this movie in March.

What's the name of the mix of the song throughout the latter half of the trailer? I know it's lifting the rhythm from Come With Me by Puff Daddy (which lifted the beat from Kashmir by Led Zeppelin) but is there a place where I can find the mix used in this trailer?

To clarify for everyone who doesn't know: the John Carter/Barsoom stories came out in the early 1900s. They, along with other early science fiction works, are the basis of science fiction today. James Cameron created Avatar out of his inspiration from John Carter. Star Wars, Star Trek, and basically many other alien-related stories can be traced back to Edgar Rice Burroughs, John Carter, and the Barsoom novels.
Just FYI. :)

@sknhpotter618 pfft. I thought Avatar was based off of Dances with wolves. Guy leaves his people to live amongst the natives. meets girl. fights back at his own people. 3 hours long. yep.

To all the stupid, illiterate fucking assholes comparing this to Star Wars, Avatar etc., the book this film is based on is almost a century old, or even older possibly. Avatar was a derivative piece of shit and Star Wars was a campy, childish piece of shit that derived from mythologies throughout history.

i can tell this is gona suck i mean the Grean aliens are nothing like the ones in the bloody book, plus this is disney, Plus that scene in the opening never happened like that. Why make a film if your just going to fuck up the source.
adsasfd 2 months ago
@adsasfd They hardly look any different from the books description!
what you mean to say is
"based on the description I imagined the aliens differently, and thus that is the only way they can be"
other people are allowed to imagine things differently than you
and I fail to see how changing the opening scene (which hardly affects anything in the series) will fuck things up
Ralokone 2 months ago
@Ralokone In the books the green aliens are described as great big huge beast giants compared to john. So its more astonishing when he fells one with a single blow. These aliens look cute like a disney movie (yes i know its a disney move) i'm open to change but to change the whole feeling and look of a story is a step too far. I wonder if the ending is the same i mean come on that ending was brilliant. The opening scene is very important its when he meets kans kartos who helps him escape.
adsasfd 2 months ago
@adsasfd NO! That is not the beginning of a princess of mars, he doesnt even meet kantos kan until halfway through the book!
I presume you mean when he meets Tars Tarkas at the incubator! That part is kept, the events on earth are changes around a bit though (but he still dies in a cave to my knowledge!)
and I am sure the ending is the same!
Ralokone 2 months ago
@Ralokone yea thats what i meant i'm just being a bitch cos i love these books and hope disney dont buttfuck the shit out of this great story.
adsasfd 2 months ago
@adsasfd Honestly, I dont care how much they change the story . . . I care more about how much they change the world itself, they can do anything they like to the story but the world of barsoom . . . that needs to star as barsoom as can be to me!
For example, if there was a Calot Tree (warlord of mars) in this film, I would be okay with it, because it is something from the universe!
let us just aggree that it will be better than Asylums princess of mars XD
Ralokone 2 months ago
@Ralokone True, that movie was awful lol. Lets hope we get a good movie but i would feel more at ease if A director such as Peter Jackson made this movie.
adsasfd 2 months ago
@adsasfd peter jackson is asking for alot . . . you should look at his pre LOTR resume, not exactly inspiring! Sure he is brilliant, but you wouldnt think he was capable of the LOTR style of epic based on his previous work!
and truth be told, Asylums princess is not the worst adaption of a book to film I have seen, that is probably why it is so painful to watch though. Because some of the right elements adn structure is there, just poorly executed!

@Ralokone i thought he did some decent horror flicks in the 80s The frightners was very underrated and Brain dead is a cult classic. But i understand what you mean. yea that film was bad i just dont understand why there made that garbage

@adsasfd OH YES, frightners and brain dead are great . . . .but would you expect lord of the rings from someone whos best word is in dark comedy!
My point is, people can be surprising, I hope andrew stanton pulls off a similiar trick here!

I wonder what kind of technique they used to film the aliens. Mo-cap maybe? It would make the most sense.

Finally something original from Disney (never thought I'd say that) and it looks badass too. Loved the choir version of Kashmir, it made that song even more epic, which I didn't think was possible.
