RTM 135 - John Carter (2012)

The Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs laid the groundwork
that all modern science fiction built itself on. John Carter was
Disney's attempt to bring the series to the big screen. It was
the most expensive film made at the time, and became Disney's
biggest box office bomb. But did this film deserve it? Was this
film's disaster the fault of poor advertising? Or, has the tropes
the series created been around so long, that the original story
became cliché in retrospect?
