Last night I re-watched the film John Carter of Mars.
I must say I really liked it. Some money was clearly spent on the props and sets. In fact there wasn't anything I didn't like. Do you like it?
The animals of Barsoom were great and reminded me of the credible fauna of Star Wars, dewbacks and wampas and so on.
Did it spawn any collectables?
Did all the designs for the craft, weaponry and animalia come from the original writings of Edgar Rice Burroughs do you know?
Trendmasters did a Tarzan Conqueror of Mars toy line sometime in the 90s.Does that tie in as a collectible?
ReplyDeleteI liked that line. Lots of chromed parts I recall. Very appealing Brian. I think there were animals too. A tiger?
DeleteI watched it again the other week, its great fun. Deja Thoris is gorgeous, which helps, but the Martians themselves are well realised too. A shame Disney pushed it to the back to accomodate the Star Wars relaunch
ReplyDeleteIt was a really well made film I agree. Lavish and amazing creatures. Yes, a bit Star Warsish.
