    Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote his series of John Carter novels before space flight was more than a fancy. This movie is more adventure and romance and very little (if any) actual science.

So, walking into this I was scared and unfortunately I had every right to be. Now I am fine with artistic licenses, I wasn't expecting it to be exactly like any of the books. But I was expecting it to at least follow the…
