BEST? - John Carter vs Valerian

Loved John Carter. Was very faithful and the slight changes they made to the story actually made it work better than the original.

Mommy Martian was cute.

That heat death of the universe existential horror.

...

John Carter had good visuals and a mostly good plot. Valerian had amazing visuals and a mostly terrible plot. It depends on what your values are.

It's fun to watch Valerian and imagine that they're bro and sis in a world where incest is legal. They're so similar. I don't even have a fetish for that stuff. I'd tell you if I did.
Yeah, I like their chemistry.

This movie has almost nothing going for it.

John Carter books.
Edgar Rice Burroughs only ever wrote one story and switched out the set dressing time and time again for literally his entire life.
But fuck if he didn't come up with some neat set dressing.

>The plot for Valerian wasn't a mess
You could cut out entire parts of the movie like the entire sidetrip with Rihanna and absolutely nothing would change.

>This movie has almost nothing going for it.
Great cast.
Great alien design.
Decent action.
Menacing as fuck rainy scene in the ruins of the riverboat random dropped far from water.
