Movie Weekend: John Carter

I seriously had no idea what this movie was about. Yes, I saw the trial weeks before but I never fully understood what the story was.

Apparently, the movie is set in the 1800s. It is the story of a man, John Carter, transported to the planet of Mars (Barsoom) and due to gravity (or lack thereof) developed super powers like super jump and super strength. The planet is at its doom, having two nations, Helium and Zodanga, fighting at each other and a princess of the other nation forced to marry the leader of the other nation so on and so forth.

 So John Cater comes in with his super powers, falls in love with the princess, falls in love with the princess, saves Mars, chooses to stay rather than go back to his planet and eventually forced to go back anyway. The movie was okay, (it was Disney, so as my friend pointed out, blood is blue -- or because they're from Mars?)  it was funny at some parts (Virginia! Virginia!) and boring at others. The part that I liked was probably towards the end, when John Carter came back to earth and sought to find another one of those teleportation thingiemajig to sport him back to Mars, in the arms of his princess.

And yes, maybe the only reason I liked this movie was because of ultra fast, Woola. Awww*
