One of the fathers of sci-fi was finally brought life. Brought to life in an entertaining way for room of improvement, but a satisfying movie indeed. Normally movies always have room to be better. John Carter could've been better with a slightly better pick of cast since the acting was not as powerful as expected. A better job of cinematography, maybe better camera equipment might have enhanced the picture quality but better angles and direction. The special effects really needed improvement, they were good and visually great but you would want to see more. The story is a classic, I did not read the original story but I do suspect there are some unoriginal parts. By watching this movie, you can tell how it inspired many Sci-fi movies today such as Dune or Star Wars or Total Recall. John Carter will satisfy you, off course you will tell to yourself that "it could be better" but most Hollywood movies are like that nowadays.
