Also, Breaking Dawn! The fight scenes were so short, weak, and stupid. The whole movie was them kissing and a huge Bore!!!! The worst one by far!

Yes, Ghost Rider sucked, as did every movie Cage has been in. But, if I were Eddie Murphy, I might consider hiring a new agent before he ends up in a movie with Cage and ending both of their careers.

Star Wars meets Star Trek meets Avatar. Been there, done that.

The original John Carter stories were written and published before Star Trek, Star Wars or Avatar's creators were even born.

So what's your point? As it turns out I know that because I had read them. That has nothing to do with the visuals in the movie, does it?

I always knew that John Carter wasn't going to do well the moment I saw the trailer. You can just feel it when you see the trailer. CGI aliens, a huge budget and...a cast of many unknowns.

Not everyone is familiar with the John Carter character or the universe he's in. So who will want to see that?
