I almost gave up on it after the first 20 minutes... sorta' felt like Harry Potter meets Master's of the Universe in a bad spaghetti western. But I warmed up to it a little once we got to mars and a bit of plot unfolded. I am a big fan and I always liked the Barsoom books from the 20s the best. Thuvia, Maid of Mars The Chessmen of Mars The Master Mind of Mars The 11th book, John Carter of Mars came out in 16 years after the series stopped and and long after Burroughs died. It just didn't feel the same to me... perhaps because he didn't write all of it, his son did. So i guess I didn't expect much from the movie in the first place. At least it wasn't as bad as Disney's Black Hole.

quote: ORIGINAL: Winterapple FR Michael Chabon was one of the screenwriters? That's interesting. But when there's more than one screenwriter you can never know who contributed what if anything. The script could have passed through multiple hands. Even if only one writer had been credited on the screenplay you have no idea how much of the original screenplay even made it on film. The script is written, rewritten, changes are made during production. Editing. As well as changes made by director, nameless executives, etc. By the time the movie hits the screen it could resemble nothing that the original writer or even director had in mind.

My bad, I thought Princess of Mars started in his garden, a storm came, he fell, woke up on Mars. It's been over 20 years since I read the books. I just recall I liked Thuvia and for me, 3 of the books stood out from the rest. Thanks for the correction.
