Having read nearly everything by Edgar Rice Burroughs (Hey, I was "inoculated as a kid) I have to say I'm glad to see it actually being made. Probably have to reserve judgement, but literally dozens of crappo Tarzan movies have been made and one has to consider the CG capabilities these days can make it at least LOOK good.

Frankly, I have always been (not so) secretly in love with "The Incomparable Dejah Thoris" and abjectly fascinated by the thought of some day seeing glorious thoats and fearsome banths (my favorite fictional beast of ANY genre) galloping and roaring across the screen.

Whether it is "good" or not probably doesn't matter so much to the producers, only the "take", which I hope is good, but perhaps not too/too, such that they might realize a top line director (No disrespect to this one) and at least a reasonably good script would make further efforts feasible.

Plus, there's some great characters in that whole "Of Mars" ethos, Tars Tarkas, et al.

I'll see it.  Only been waiting 60 years. Fingers on all 4 hands crossed.
