  Am I the only one who thinks its funny that someone is giving away a book for free about a movie that nobody paid to watch?

  It doesn't take a full book to understand why John Carter wasn't a success.
  Disney's Marketing department did a pathetic job, they didn't try and establish who John Carter was, why we should care about him or why he would fight for an alien civilization on mars not to mention an actor who is little known and believes that he is too good for most movies.

  Movie wasn't terrible but it was a bit drawn out and felt as though it would've been better suited to a higher rating than pg and as a HBO kind of mini series not to mention the budget which was way more than it should've been for a book series that is long past it's prime.

  Now lets recap and say how to fix the issues -
  Budget too high, film too long (those 2 work hand in hand, shorten the script and it won't cost as much to make).
  Next hire a better marketing department, how about the one that handled the first pirates movie?
  Actor who isn't a draw card and doesn't give confidence in the quality of the picture, get a couple of big name actors even if they are in bit parts.
  Book series is past it's prime, start a marketing campaign for the book series aimed towards kids and reminding those that have read the series how awesome it is.

  I read the book when I was a kid, and thought the movie was pretty good actually.

  Kafka said, "a book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us"………don't waste your time with this dross…..this isn't a dress rehearsal
