John Carter (2012)

Transplanted to Mars, a Civil War vet discovers a lush planet inhabited by 12-foot tall barbarians.
Silly pulp sci-fi fantasy with a touch of steampunk, only the creatures, ships and Mars landscapes are worth the show.

Maltin**1/2: "Elaborate adaptation of  Edgar Rice Burroughs' "A Princess of Mars," from his John Carter of Mars series, benefits from a strong leading performance but is difficult to follow if you're not already familiar with the material."
