I was obsessed with vampires, the lore, the movies, the books. It kept my brain occupied and helped me stay out of trouble and sane.

Lovecraft, Tolkien, Burroughs, and Lewis here. Sadly not much decent in the way of movies for much of their work till recent decades. There were some stabs at Lovecraft, Burroughs Tarzan was everywhere but bleh. Disney tried john Carter but messed up a lot, which is a shame as I prefer it. There was some animated Tolkien, I grew up on the RB hobbit movie. Thankfully didn't find the Bakshi stuff till I was much older to appreciate it better. And Disney's half passed narnia series. Though honestly I would rather someone found a way to adapt Lewis's Silent Planet series.

Whatever catches your eye though there really isn't a wrong answer.

john Carter

I liked the movie, I'd rather it and the iterations than all the Marvel copies.

Oh, yeah, the movie was decent enough. Very serviceable. The failures and disaster happened all around from horrible marketing etc from Disney mostly. Maybe someday they'll take another stab at it. But I hope that when they do they actually put someone in charge who has an understanding of the property and the companies full support. No more unclear marketing or trying to adapt stuff for fans that don't exist. Make it for the people who want to see it and others will see it by association.

I am tired of Star Wars and Marvel movies. I want more movies about cavemen and Conan.
