If you have the chance to see John Carter, go see it. It's been declared a box office failure, and the math on its box office may make that hard to argue with, but what I saw was a complex, passionate, well written adventure film, the likes of which you won't see that often.
Even if its not the most popular film, you'll be doing yourself a favor. You'll be like one of those people who saw Blade Runner when it first came out, rather than waiting until critical opinion or pop culture began recalling it on the merits, rather than simply reporting the financial underperformance. I have my doubts that John Carter won't break even. Even the worst crap eventually breaks even under the financial system Hollywood runs. Let me tell you, though, this film will have a long time to go before it's ever forgotten.
