Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 51%

Critic Consensus: “While John Carter looks terrific and delivers its share of pulpy thrills, it also suffers from uneven pacing and occasionally incomprehensible plotting and characterization”

Directed by: Brian Robbins

RT Freshness: 0%

Critic Consensus: “Dated jokes (A Thousand Words was shot in 2008) and removing Eddie Murphy’s voice — his greatest comedic asset — dooms this painful mess from the start”
