“You are ugly! But you are beautiful!”
“You are…John Carter…of…Earth?”

I know this is no time to have gripes with the screenplay, but the execution of those 2 lines made me laugh out loud. 8D Especially with the latter line, and how unconvincingly she said it.
The set pieces remind me of TRON: Legacy and WALL-E, i.e. very good. I’m glad Stanton has used that style in this.
Overall, this looks exciting and a lot of fun, but I now have a few concerns. This looks as though it’s going to be a very good film, or a very bad one…

the trailer itself looks awesome, but I’ve read some negative comments so far, most of them state that the film should be named: when attack to the clones meets avatar, I do not agree, specially knowing who is John Carter’s Director

this movie will prove what a pixar genius is capable to do with live action films

PS: actually Andrew will be the second one, Brad Bird’s new Mission Impossible film just look outstanding

I’m yet to be convinced.

And specially when the source material is decades old.

Avatar is the most derivative work I’ve seen, and while I love Star Wars, Lucas himself has never hidden the fact his films are heavily inspired by previous works. He probably based his Geonosis scene on the Mars books.

Nothing is original now though, is it? Always someone who writes “it looks like such-and-such”.
As long as it’s a good film, it’s source is not much interest to me.

What I mean by “source” is that the film is based on books that first appeared in 1912, so obviously they aren’t copying things from the 2000’s like Avatar and Attack of the Clones.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. It’s just that this argument seems to come up with every single film 8D

That’s true.

And after all, very derivative films can still innovate in some other way, so I don’t care too much about that either.

As an art major I’m all too familiar with the concept that “nothing is original.” Almost anything can be an influence, but I feel that John Carter screams cliché in the trailers. It really, hardcore says that. I can’t get over how predictable so much of the content was, so I’m hoping Stanton has some magic up his sleeve to contribute something worthy to an otherwise dreary-looking film. That said, I was really looking forward to this at one point, and I may still see it if it gets good reviews.

That’s true, but it’s also sad, as the original books were the important influence for a lot of the fiction we’ve seen today. So it wasn’t cliché when they were written, but it is now. Pity.

That is pretty unfortunate. :frowning:

Last night one of the actors from John Carter was on the Jimmy Kimmel show. I didn’t notice until the interview was nearly finished.
