You notice I did not criticize the movie. I said that the dialogue in the previews was painful to watch, and it did remind me of a 21st century person not a 19th century person.
I thought Kitsch did a pretty good job as Remy. As far as I can tell, we now have Remy on Mars not John Carter of Mars. Given my love for Burroughs, I will probably crack open the old piggybank this week and see one of my allotted three movies of the year. I might have to increase that number because I am looking forward to the final Batman movie, the new Spider-Man, and the Avengers movie as well. Also Hunger Games because of the kids.
Good movie. Kitsch did a better job than I expected. Took lots of liberties with the Mars books but the characters were appropriate. The last fight scene bothered me because of what the Tharks were capable of doing - that reminded of Jar Jar Jinks taking out all the robots. Otherwise I would watch long before any of the last four Star Wars movies.
