It is a sword fighting adventure story about an earth man who has always been a fighter, fought in all the wars, does not know how old he and never seems to die (sounds like Wolverine creators got their nod from Carter too). The only time Carter ever “dies” was the moment that mystically took him to the planet Mars (the god of war, natually–and back to earth again, incidentally). On this ancient Mars there are giant multi-legged creatures and beings to fight—yes they have ray guns, but prefer bladed weapons—there are flying ships, lost deserted cities to explore, beautiful scantilly clad maidens and warriors, a lesser gravity to aid the earthman Carter, old wierd religions, interesting science and technology, wars and intrigue, chivalry, humans of many hues, and instead of little green men there are 12 foot tall green men with four arms and swords…and they hate humans and are kranky all the time. Sounds like a blast! Great escapist fun. I cannot wait. Come on 2012—101 years since the first book was published “A Princess of Mars” AKA “Under the Moons of Mars”. Eleven books in the Mars series. FYI it is nothing at all like Ray Bardbury’s Martian Chronicles, although he loved Burroughs’ writings too.

I don’t even know what the movie/book is about-I’m loving the cast!
