Logging

Film: John Carter

A mess of a movie. I don't want to pile on as much has already been said elsewhere. But I suppose it should provide some sort of lesson in borrowing -- one need not be influenced and copy from every single movie that precedes oneself -- it strives to be Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and every single James Cameron movie at some point or another. Methinks one ought to limit oneself a bit more and perhaps just strive to be The Last Crusade meets whatever, rather than all of it.

I haven't seen it but from what I've read, John Carter in it's original form influenced all those films and filmmakers, it just took to fucking long to get made and by now it is old news.
