The AVClub did a Commentary Tracks of the Damned entry on this. Apparantly, Andrew Stanton went mad with power and spent money on frivolous things.

Sure Amazon is only a website, but a lot of people buy from it, and obviously most customers who purchased/saw the movie were more than pleased.

Also I'm glad I saw it in theaters. Seeing it on DVD again, reminded me of underrated it really was. Not forgettable in the least.

I don't mind that people dislike it, but if someone calls it crap, I won't be afraid to defend it.
The most irrelevant possible collection of reviews you could offer would be those of the people who purchased it at Amazon. How many people do you think purchased the DVD unless they saw it and liked it in the theaters? However, I went to Amazon and checked the most recent ratings. The DVD received 5121 reviews. Out of those, 917 gave it 4 out of 5 stars, 1235 gave it 3, 1280 gave it 2 and 1289 gave it 1. I'm not sure in what universe that averages out to 4.5, but close to 60% of the respondents rated it 2 stars or less.

ADDENDUM: There was more than one link for this DVD at Amazon. Curiously enough after going back and taking another look, I found several different review ratings. The one I cited above remains the largest sample, which tends to lead me to trust it as the most accurate of purchasers' opinion. However, I find this a curious credibility issue with Amazon's ratings.

One complain about the article: the writer mentioned their Rotten Tomatoes scores, but only among top critics.

I don't care about reflecting the opinion of the public. I do care about expressing my own opinion and my opinion is that John Carter wasn't a very good movie.

John Carter wasn't Razzie material, but it was at best a rather complete waste of 2 hours of my life and on the whole, utterly forgetable. A tip of the hat here to SchumacherH8ter for a spot on review.]]> Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:00:02 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5814&PID=51174#51174 Special Forum Discussion: JOHN CARTER : Forum Members' Discussion of JOHN CARTER http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5814&PID=51155#51155 Author: Vits

Good point.

As of right now, the movie has grossed back its budget worldwide. Unless you focus on domestic grosses only, this is no longer among the biggest flops.

He's a character actor.

It wasn't that, most people say the trailers weren't very well done. In turn however most people I know of said they were pleasantly surprised as a result since they thought it was going to suck.
