I went to see 'John Carter' last night. So glad I did! I don't know why this movie has bombed so badly at the box office, because it's just great fun, and if you're an old-fashioned pulp sci-fi fan, you definitely shouldn't miss it.
My best description? 'Spartacus' meets 'Star Wars' with a dash of Victoriana. And cowboys. Who would not watch that?!
Oh, oh! and it's a bit of a TV's 'Rome' reunion in there too. Cirran Hinds, Polly Walker and James Puresex - er, Purejoy - um, PureFOY. Yes. That's entirely what I meant to type really for sure absolutely.
had a surprising amount of heart, too. One scene in particular. You'll know if you've seen it.
