You mean John Carter doesn't do something stupid and get killed in the first 30 minutes? -- nm - Bacon Jul 3, 19:55
I liked John Carter -- nm - Epiphany Jul 3, 19:54 6

  - Hell yes. His acting ability is questionable. If we have survived Marky Mark, we can survive Taylor -- nm - Epiphany Jul 3, 20:07 4
    - Ahem, that's two-time Oscar nominee, Marky Mark. -- nm - Dano Jul 3, 20:35 3
      - Departed? I'll give him that. Boogie Nights? Okay. Lucky shots. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 3, 20:44 2
        
        He wasn't nominated for Boogie Nights. -- nm - Dano Jul 3, 20:49 1

I wanted to hate John Carter. And I did, for maybe the first half hour, but it really did a great job of pulling me around and pushing the fun. -- nm - Qale Jul 3, 19:39
I still haven't decided if I liked Prometheus or not. (spoils for Prometheus) - Beryllium Jul 3, 19:33 9

  - Partially. I posted a few days ago on what I thought of certain logic complaints. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 3, 19:56
- ALL of the enjoyable material was missing. -- nm - Bacon Jul 3, 19:47
- Scott's last few films had good theatrical cuts, but the extended directors cut on dvd were excellent. -- nm - peglegpete Jul 3, 19:40 4
  - Which sucks for tose that pay koney to see it in a theater -- nm - Truman Jul 3, 19:45 3
    - yeah. he makes a great 3 1/2 hour film, but a [good but still] sketchy 2 hour theatrical -- nm - peglegpete Jul 3, 19:55
    - Glares at his ipad -- nm - Truman Jul 3, 19:45 1
      - did you see the video -- nm - drunken formerly famous FB dude Jul 3, 19:55
