From TMP:

Forget about the fact that the film bombed at the box office: John Carter is one of the better movies of 2012 so far. A classically-delivered adventure with a truly epic feel, John Carter manages to capture the spirit of the original novel without being overwhelmed by the complicated plot. It excels in almost every way, and director Andrew Stanton ([I]Wall-E[/I]) infuses the characters with enough heart and soul to have the viewers buy into the story and their plight. (Blu-ray, John Carter) 8.75/10
