The “John Carter of” jokes will never stop, by the way. Get used to them!
And here are the other interesting ones, because I can (click for huge):
Now this is podracing!
John Carter of Gondola
Thrill as John Carter says stuff to Dejah Thoris!
Sorry, the CGI of my ride ain't finished yet!
It's Baaaaaacon!
No one turns Tars Tarkas into a piano except me!
I am glad that they kept the scale of the White Apes accurate (the cover art on the books rarely has the apes big enough), but for a true confession: I went to the theater recently and the John Carter trailer started playing. I had no idea what it was and got bored and stopped paying attention until i realized it was the John Carter trailer I saw months ago. It just doesn’t have that excitement of trailers that are awesome. Maybe I’m just being overly jaded from decades of disappointment from entertainment. Or maybe I’m a big jerk! Oh, well. So enjoy this picture of a huge monkey!
That's not what I meant by "On like Donkey Kong!"
Taylor Kitsch, Willem Dafoe and Lynn Collins were with director Andrew Stanton as he showed the footage.
I still have the same basic problem with footage I’ve already seen (in that Mars isn’t nearly fantastic enough…
…
However Woola’s introduction scene they showed today is the very first thing I’ve seen from Stanton’s John Carter that I love without reservation.
The rest of the footage they described back in July, around the same time others got first looks.
Before Stanton and the actors left the D23 stage, they played one last bit of footage. Carter and Tarkas finds themsleves in a Thark arena about to be executed. Tarkas is badly injured and Carter’s leg is chained to a rock. A colossal, six-limbed white ape is then released. It charges them, swatting them out of the way like gnats. Carter recovers and starts leaping over the white ape. He seems about ready to break the chain tying him to the rock, which is when a rather bored-sounding Thark in the stands declares, “Release the other one.”

D23? I haven't seen the first 22 D's!
The only thing I liked was the alien missiles look like pegs from the board game.
