John Carter

John Carter was surprisingly good. It was unashamedly a cheesy, pulpy story, but it did a good job at being enjoyable and funny without being completely goofy. I never read any of the books, so I don't know how it compares -- I have the impression it jetisoned a lot of stereotypes that shouldn't be acceptible today, although I don't know for sure what the books were like.
