the designs of everything from Martian cities to alien life forms lack the visionary qualities that lodge in one's imagination
by Peter Debruge [Variety ]
the achievement of John Carter is that it takes the elements worn to nubs by everything from Star Wars to Avatar to TV's Fringe and makes them fresh again
by Mark Holcomb [Village Voice ]
some of the ideas may be wonderful, but there is such chaos on screen, it is hard to decipher what is going on much of the time
by Louise Keller [Urban Cinefile ]
nothing in John Carter really works, since everything in the movie has been done so many times before, and so much better

fun and thrilling old school blockbuster that owes much to the superb direction of Andrew Stanton
by Matthew Pejkovic [Matt's Movie Reviews ]
fun adventure, fatefully balanced between high camp and boyish seriousness at almost every second
by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com ]
for a Pixar graduate piece, humor is notably lacking
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter ]
by the end of the adventure, even the initially befuddling double-frame story pays off, in spades
by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies ]
as with Tron: Legacy, from a design perspective the film is faultless and a thing of beauty
