Review by skh1964

I went to the local IMAX to see John Carter this week end and I really enjoyed it, as did my friends 13 year old. We also took in the Iron Lady and The Artist and enjoyed it more than both of them put together. I know a flop when I see one and it's a shame that John Carter is tanking at the box office. Believe me it's not the best film I have seen but it did keep my attention and the characters were interesting enough to care about. What more do people want out of a film these days is beyond me, but then again we are talking about some people who have the attention span of a gnat brought on by the convenience of being able to "click" to the next available piece of entertainment at any sign of boredom. We had at least seven people walk out of The Artist within the first 15 minuets because they couldn't take that it was silent, and it won Best Picture. Granted John Carter has a few slow parts but none that made me want to get up and visit the concession stand. Such a shame too because I would like to see the story continue where it left off. This will be one to put into my Blu-ray collection when available and that's saying something. If this is something you wanted to go see then do it and make up your own mind, you will probably enjoy yourself as much as I did.
