Working on the pure novelty of it, music nerds of all shapes and sizes might be brought into the idea of having the altered [...]

Even with the ridiculous white savior trope and the similarities to Avatar, trust that director Andrew Stanton will deliver something worthy of your time with John Carter. Plus? It's got Tim Riggins in it. It'll probably be a box-office disaster for Disney, but we're feeling like this could be the kind of movie that discovers a loyal following on DVD. Much like Scott Pilgrim did. Directed by Andrew Stanton, starring Taylor Kitsch, Mark Strong, Dominic West, Bryan Cranston, Willem Dafoe, and Lynn Collins. John Carter hits theaters on March 9.
