If they had just called it “John Carter of Mars” it would have at least communicated a major plot point. It was a really ambitious attempt to reboot a classic science fiction novel, but since nobody remembered what Barsoom was they were at a disadvantage.
I absolutely loved Dredd when I finally got around to seeing it at home. The visuals made me wish I had seen it in theaters. It was so viciously and grotesquely beautiful.
Dredd and John Carter. In both cases the film was tanked by marketing (or lack thereof).

Dredd was a great movie. It’s an apology to the fans after the Stallone movie.
