Rewatching John Carter and I still can’t believe this was labeled a "flop." Between the epic world-building of Barsoom, the incredible chemistry between Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins, and the legendary creature design (we love you, Woola!), this movie deserved so much more.

While it was a financial "bomb" due to its massive $250M+ budget and poor marketing, it has earned a devoted cult following. [13, 16]

Take me back to Barsoom! 🚀 #JohnCarter #SciFi #MovieRecommendations

The gravity-defying action, Michael Giacchino’s score, and the best "Princess" in sci-fi history (Dejah Thoris). It’s time we stop calling it a box office bomb and start calling it the classic it actually is.
