I thought the first one was OK. Couldn't get through the second one -- it was all bang and pow and kaboom. No character development.
So where would that put my vote?

Carter,
You haven't introduced yourself in" Introductions, please," so I'll ask you here if you are an Edgar Rice Burroughs fan. Have you read the John Carter series? I read it ages ago and just re-read the first one a couple of years ago. When the movie came out earlier this year, my husband thought I was crazy going around singing "John Carter of Mars." But then the movie got terrible reveiws and only came out in 3-D, which I don't care for, so I'm going to wait to watch it on Netlfix. That's my long explanation...what's yours? Did you see the movie?

I think they are great. Very entertaining, especially the first one, and that's why I see movies: to be entertained. The chemistry between RDJ and JL is terrific.

These movies are the whole reason I got into Sherlock Holmes at all; I knew barely a thing about SH until I saw the first flick, then I went out and bought the complete Sherlock Holmes works, which I am still a few stories short of finishing (nearly 3 years later, lol! Had other reading distracting me in the meantime). So yeah, I am a fan.
