This movie had such wonderful potential, but about 40 minutes in became so completely idiotic I couldn't watch any more.
Hawkman says he's there to restore order and that two soldiers of a tyrannical regime should be given due process. All this after the fictional nation of Kahndaq had suffered decades of oppression WITHOUT DUE PROCESS.
Restore order? Does that mean hold the status quo on tyrannical oppression? If people try to overthrow their tyrannical government, as America's Founding Fathers did in 1776, the Justice Society of 'Merica is going to stop them? Dumb, dumb, dumb!
Due process? For brutal soldiers who do not believe in due process? Where was the Justice Society of 'Merica, in this movie universe, when the tyrannical oppressors IGNORED due process every hour of the day? Dumb, dumb, dumb!
This movie seems to have been written by someone with a split personality or an Orwellian dementia full of Doublethink -- War is Peace, Oppression is Happiness, Poverty is Bliss and other such nonsense! With this script, they threw logic out the window!
Sorry, but if Hollyweird gets any more Globalist-Leftist Woke, it's going to go totally broke. But hey! The owners of the Big Corporations no longer need a consumer economy. They have their own plan for tyranny. And it's no longer a secret.
Whoever wrote this crappy script I'm putting on my anti-watch list. If I had been forced to write this script (say under contract), I would have demanded to use a pseudonym.

Marketing should have used the full title shown at the end -- "John Carter of Mars."
Great acting, great special F/X, great story. Romance, adventure, mystery, powerful conspiracies, super-high-tech, and decor and dress vaguely reminiscent of Ancient Rome.
John Carter is a heroes hero. At the start, he carried a heavy burden of guilt and sadness, but by the end he had earned renewed happiness. This is a movie desperately in need of a sequel.
I've seen this one almost as much as Star Wars (the original), and about half as much as my all-time favorite, German film, Das Boot. Finely crafted story telling.

I like to give most films the benefit of the doubt, watching them to the end. The movies from which I bailed midway through I could likely count on one hand, if I cared to remember them.
This is the only film with Bruce Willis where ALL of the other actors do a better job of acting than Willis. It seemed Willis was distracted in most of the scenes. A few of his scenes were almost moderately good acting on his part.
Some of Bruce's other recent films had worse acting by him, but there were a few actors in them who were worse. In this film, Willis improved slightly, but was still outdone by everyone else onscreen, including the doctor, the deputy and the young victim. In places, the police chief was actually excellent in his performance.
Cinematography was good in places, but other places were a distraction for bad lighting or bad framing.
The dialogue was okay, but the writing was poor. Some scenes were unbelievably bad (poor character motivation, for instance).
