The movie may be bad, hard to tell from the previews, but I'm really pumped up about it. And it's only a week away!  |

Well, it seems like it's more relevant to the source material than last year's Conan flick, and at least should be a fun ride.

If Wikipedia's to be believed the critics seemed to enjoy it!

I'm not digging the trailer playing on TV. Too much CGI, and too Phantom Menace-y (I think it's the desert / Old Republic-looking space craft combo). Also, I hated that line about "your world is next!". It's smacks of trying too hard to get the viewer to care. I read a long article in the New Yorker about the many re-writes and re-shoots they did so that may have biased me against it.

The thing is, I read the Barsoom series in the 1970's and have essentially been waiting 35 years for this movie. I can't help but be excited! A week and a day from now I may be really bummed, but at the moment I'm hopefull... |

I'm excited as well, though cautiously; I actually got my wife to read A Princess of Mars so I could drag her with me. I can't say I'm completely excited by the trailers, as the cities and fliers really don't match what I have in my head and it would not have been that hard to make the Red Martians, y'know, red. I'm going in with an open mind though.

Put me down for "excited" about the new release.

My only complaint is that some of the women don't look exotic enough. Also, too much clothing, but it is a Disney film  |

That's a complaint I've read abundantly over on the boards at IMDb.
Also, there's a lot of chattering about what the opening numbers will be for this, and I would be shocked if it made more than 45 million in the opening day or two.
