Despite all the negative press, "John Carter" completely delivers. All of the characters are engaging and likable- a credit to the actors involved. Production wise, the film (especially in Imax 3D) is a complete knockout from the special effects to the cinematography to the smoothly edited action sequences. In fact, my only real complaint is that some of the action sequences are a bit too short- they are excellent, but could have gone on longer. The story actually has some emotional punch, especially a terrific scene when John Carter thinks back on burying his first wife in the middle of a battle. Finally, this is a very mild PG-13, and is fine for kids 8 and up.

Gets off to a rocky start, but once the action on Mars hits it does pick up. The film is epic in size and effects. The CG alien creatures look believable and the action scenes are decent. There are issues with character, plot, and pacing. Nothing ever feels exciting, or worth caring about. I give it technical praise and would recommend it just for the little bit of spectacle it provides.
