Seems like love or hate.

Troy: what's the word/buzz/scuttlebutt on JOHN CARTER? I heard that it has screened already so there must be some kind of reaction floating out there.

I can't say shit until the end of the month, even that might change.

Slashfilm's assessment is a little positive.

Wolverine 2. July 26, 2013.

I'll be sure to miss it - thanks, Jamie!

[Captain Russ]

I think Wolverine is a cool guy. Eh sniktbubs sniktbubs and doesn't afraid of anything.

[Matt]

It's supposedly using the Frank Miller limited series as a template. Japan and ninjas.

I'm totally there.

[FilmNerdJamie]

As if the continuity couldn't get anymore fucked up.

[B_Metal]

Continuity. Lulz.

[FilmNerdJamie]

"Shockingly" John Carter is tracking low.

[Matt]

Not surprised, considering that the marketing dept has completely botched the job. I think it's a given that the film will underperform...I just pray that it doesn't become one of those legendary flops like CUTTHROAT ISLAND or ISHTAR.

You mean, a film that flops AND is shit? The odds are against you on this one, Matthias.

I don't believe it will be that bad.

But, it's going to hurt Disney.

[Ben Thomas]

Wait, sorry, I confused Ishtar with Zardoz - Ishtar's actually pretty good, I think.

[Matt]

ISHTAR isn't terrible, as I recall. CUTTHROAT ISLAND, however, is pure garbage except for the big ship explosion that really is quite remarkable.
