invisiblejones 's review for:

The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs
4.0

The third John Carter of Mars book picks up where the cliffhanger in the second book left off. This lightweight story amounts to one long chase scene, with added perils at every turn. Not that that is a bad thing, necessarily. It was quite fun, and Burrough's imaginative world is interesting. Naturally, the stiff dialogue and poor characterization that plague the previous books continues with this one as well, and John Carter seems a bit dimmer in this episode. However, if Andrew Stanton does indeed film a trilogy of John Carter films, as is rumored, this could be an exciting cinematic conclusion.
