Definitely see John Carter on DVD! I think you will love it. I have seen the film on several occasions with both family and friends who loved John Carter. It was a beautiful story and had an incomparable cast! (if you loved HBO's Rome series, you will love the cast!) The characters were all fantastic. It was just an extremely well made film and story that you want to go back to time and time again. And of course, we all want to go BACK TO BARSOOM!
What's great about it: An incomparable cast! Excellent characters! A beautiful story!
