Scullibundo saying this was better than Finding Nemo is the funniest thing I have ever read on this forum.
Is it because that isn't an achievement? Fair enough. John Carter is better than WALL-E.

Budget: $250 million
Box office: $272,825,619
...and that is apparently without DVD / Blu-ray sales.
Studios dont keep all of the box office, theaters get a cut too. And I think hollywood gets even less when it comes to overseas revenue.Gemüsepizza;38215115 said:Did it bomb?

Hahahaha, oh your adventure genre loving friends love it. Okay. I guess that makes it a "commonly held opinion."Why? It's a commonly held opinion.
Every one of my adventure genre loving friends/acquaintances loves this film. Every last one.

Let's remove your adventure genre loving acquaintances from the equation - just for now - and look at every film review site on the internet:
Rotten Tomatoes
Nemo: 98% fresh
Carter: 52% rotten
Nemo: 8.5 (average rating)
Carter: 5.7 (average rating)
Metascore
Nemo: 87
Carter: 51
Nemo: 8.6 (user score)
Carter: 7.2 (user score)
IMDB
Nemo: 81
Carter: 69
Box Office Gross
Nemo: $867,000,000
Carter: $272,000,000
Okay, now let's put them back into the equation.
krypt0nian's adventure genre loving friends/acquaintances:

Carter: they liked it
Now that I look at that list again, you may be right!

Speed Racer

Seems like in line for what a turd of a film Speed Racer was.
Why on earth would your friend's opinions matter more or less than Scullibundo's or anyone anyone on IMDB or anything? Who cares about your friends? This is all getting away from the point people should be taking away from all this:So fucking what? I know the people that tell me they love it and trust their opinion.
2 things wrong with the movie.Finally watched this last night. I didn't think it was as bad as most people made it out to be. It was pretty bland and lacked any real drive IMO. The effects were good.
Another one with terrible taste. Mike Works, you may have a date here.

John Carter was a disappointment.
I don't agree. What is your friends opinion about this?
Wow, you are really taking this personally. Cheer up, I'm sure the sequel will fix the original's shortcomingsThey matter more because they are my friends. Get some and see how that works, sunshine.
John Catrter was a fine example of an adventure film. That it made no money matters not to me, as you've proven in years of posts that most people have terrible taste.
Then you post metacritic scores as if they should hold more meaning to me than my opinion or that of valued friends. You're the one that tried to laugh Sculli out of the thread like an ass.
Sculli, you know more about films than most people on these forums, but you have the most baffling of opinions sometimes.In the future I will photoshop my impressions onto T-shirts for Mike Works and have directors wear them in public.
They don't think you're worth dating either. So you're out of luck all around.
But anyone who hates Speed Racer already knows that.

That's why I'm defending him from pests like you.
You truly sound insecure.
Yep.You truly sound insecure.
I liked this film more than 'Avengers'.
Yea, still the best movie I've seen this year, I don't know how long that will last though.I liked this film more than 'Avengers'.

How????
I'm watching Avatar on TV and then a commercial for the DVD/Bluray relase of this comes on.
3 months? Isn't that really short to be on DVD already?

They put out a film with all the right pieces, and the movie going public failed it.
Opinions are great.
In all seriousness though, this thread has convinced me to at least give this movie a try.
Unless it's a free rental then don't. Honest to God it's not worth your time.
Well I love Andrew Stanton and thought it was rubbish. He can make the decision himself.
