I fell in love with Barsoom as a boy. I dreamt of going to Mars and finding my own Deja Thoris. And as I lived my life growing into each new age, these stories have stayed with me. Now as I find myself approaching my sixth age, as Shakespeare would have it, finally I find there has been a creditable attempt to bring my childhood hero to the silver screen.
The makers of this film clearly have some love and respect for the original; I find much of the heart of the stories that I loved in this film, but inwardly I weep that the attempt was not more honest and true to the source.
Too much was attempted here, much was changed, unnecessary complexity was introduced with insufficient back story and to what end? There was no need; had they followed the original story, they would have had a stronger film with a much easier and more coherent plot.
Why bring in Therns at all or the pilgrimage to Issus, this is all from the second book 'The Gods of Mars' and in it the Therns are anything but super-scientists and instead effete petty charlatans.
Still I enjoyed this film and John Carter and Deja Thoris were surprisingly well cast, but it has to be said that Deja Thoris Princess of Helium and granddaughter of Tardos Mors would sooner take her own life than run from anything that she considered her duty.
My abiding sorrow is that in the end this film missed its mark. I cannot help feeling that had there been less embellishment and more actual story-telling, then just maybe this film would have been more of a success and then perhaps there would have been a franchise That way I would get to visit Barsoom again.
