Matt’s Review: ‘John Carter’ Plays Nice, But Lacks Spirit — It Also Looks Awful in 3D
Posted by: | Comments
GRADE: C+
As I usually do in reviews such as this one, I have to be forthright and explain I did not read the John Carter books — I’m not going to either, so don’t stress that I do. The movie was my first exposure to the story, so bear that in mind. I have to say, Disney really took a gamble on John Carter. The budget for this film ballooned to $250 million, which will make it difficult for the film to make it out of the red. I have a feeling that after seeing the success of Avatar, Disney felt like this was their $2+ billion movie. Sadly, I am here to report that it is not, because John Carter had pieces that worked, but for the most part, I just did not care about this film.
Netflix This: ‘Tangled’

I had the pleasure of finally sitting down and watching the critically acclaimed Disney animation Tangled which came out in 2010 — this fact alone makes me ashamed to admit I am just seeing now. While I’m sure many out there have already seen it, I loved this film so much I had to gush about it and recommend people look for it on Netflix. Tangled isn’t my favorite Disney film, but it definitely oozes with the magic that has made the Disney logo one of the most recognizable castles on the planet.

It’s been several days since this was unveiled to the world, but I needed some time to gather my thoughts. If you saw Alice in Wonderland this past weekend, you got to see the breathtaking new trailer for Disney’s other upcoming 3-D baby, Tron Legacy. The first footage we saw of Tron Legacy was way back this past summer when Disney premiered those three minutes of footage at Comic-Con. That clip didn’t show much, but was just supposed to get people talking, which it did. But man, this new trailer has got people SCREAMING for December to hurry the hell up already.

Disney Buys Marvel For $4 Billion; Possible Pixar Superhero Movies To Come

Now this, is huge. Ripples are blasting through Hollywood today, from the CEO of 20th Century Fox, to the boom mic operators working on set. Walt Disney Company announced Monday it had agreed to buy Marvel Entertainment for an estimated amount of $4 billion. Many fanboys might immediately see this as an abomination, that Disney will imprint its family-friendly mentality to more adult superhero franchises that Marvel has recently put out. But it actually SHOULD not be that bad of a situation for Marvel fans.
