I guess I am VERY out-o-touch with the mainstream.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-57393791958615204452012-03-17T16:30:01.915-07:002012-03-17T16:30:01.915-07:00Hey thanks JB.

And very glad to hear your family is back together safe and sound. Believe me I know what pulling double duty as Dad is all about ; ) My wife began working just this past year and I've had to step up quite a bit myself.Sizzaxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715649618278080709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-83789600644001668612012-03-12T09:01:23.466-07:002012-03-12T09:01:23.466-07:00I actually tore it apart over at Tankards & Br...I actually tore it apart over at Tankards & Broadswords. I'm by no means an ERB fanboy, but rather, I loathe when Hollywood takes ideas that have stood the test of time, alters them for no needful reason, and then wastes screentime having to explain the new, more complicated plot, and in the process, wastes time that could be spent on more badassery.Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-8622433201568220282012-03-11T15:44:36.817-07:002012-03-11T15:44:36.817-07:00I caught the film today and found it entertaining....I caught the film today and found it entertaining. It was loyal in spirit and didn't have a single WTF moment like recent treatments of The Musketeers or Sherlock Holmes. My only complaint was one of the coolest fighting scenes was intermingled with character building flashbacks. It was certainly far more loyal to Mars sories than were the vast array of Tarzan films.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-70053388063751833212012-03-11T14:39:58.598-07:002012-03-11T14:39:58.598-07:00I enjoyed and borrowed from THE GEM above,

I'd read the first book, and I thought the decisions they made as far as mostly in the first 20 minutes of the film were well thought out and improved it for the screen. I never said to myself while watching it a.) Wow that's cheese-ball b.) I would have treated that aspect of the character differently c.) What were they thinking doing this? any of the usual Hollywood drivel decisions when adapting an original work. They treated the material with respect. I felt at times like I was watching a cleaned up version of Lynch's Dune. A lot of times I leaned over to my son and said, "wow, this is a great movie". I haven't done that in YEARS for an adapted screenplay. Kudos to the writers, set designers, costume designers, all around; the best movie I've seen this year hands down - if not the best of the past few years.Peter Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03528363130629385152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-64531606992890158172012-03-11T05:24:12.517-07:002012-03-11T05:24:12.517-07:00http://warriorsoftheredplanet.blogspot.com/

I am a reader of the books, loved them. Going to start rereading them soon.<br /><br />As for making a game based on Mars, trust me I have looked over several things and I don't really like any of them. I have my own ideas brewing in my head and might try to release something. Of course now there will be many many more people who will try and do the same thing. Not really an issue, but dang, wish I had gotten it out first.<br /><br />Sorry this turned into a bit of a rant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903390795990245944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-50992188691694498322012-03-11T00:55:56.743-08:002012-03-11T00:55:56.743-08:00I just got back from the theater with my wife an h...I just got back from the theater with my wife an hour or so ago. We also loved it. I've read about half of the first book, so had an idea what's going on. My wife had no idea. After the movie, when I told her there were eight or nine movies in the series, she immediately said, "I want to read them all!" And that speaks volumes on the quality of the movie in my mind.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-9987259941706982212012-03-11T00:49:14.356-08:002012-03-11T00:49:14.356-08:00Interesting to hear a positive report of that film...Interesting to hear a positive report of that film!

I was kinda worried that someone who hadn't read the books might be a little lost (there's a lot of jeddaks and tharks and whatnot being tossed around). Glad to hear you enjoyed it as much as I did. :Dtrollsmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895349218958093151noreply@blogger.com
