Already posted my comments on here on an earlier thread. Loved ERB as a kid. It's true that they didn't promote the movie hardly at all, least not around here. I think I saw maybe one commercial for it. My son is a big fan of the books also, I turned him onto the series when he was 12 or so. He actually remembers the plots of the books way better than me. And I think maybe they did put too many things from three different books into the show. They should have just filmed "Princess of Mars. Plenty of stuff there to film, and the plot would have been better. Still, I'd say it was worth a view. Just not as good as I'd hoped.



Ah the Therns from book two? I thought so at first too, but after i realized they needed a epic villian for the planned series and Matai Shang was the one they planned for all three movies. Plus the way they changed the traveling from/to earth is way more believable with the amulet of the therns than the "mysterious" self projection / astral type travel between planets.
