I was introduced to John Carr through The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume II.
This might be good, might be pish.
I hope it's good.

It's years since I read the books but I had JC pitched as more a Southern Gentleman type than a Conan type. I think I'll go dig out the first one again and catch up, it was a good adventure story.
I met someone last week who works in visual effects and this is one of their projects. They reckoned that the work was some of the best they've done, especially the Great White Apes.

Agree entirely about how he seems to come across in the trailers. Like some sort of superhuman, as opposed to the gent he was in the book, (at least that was my impression.

Some more clips and a featurette have been released.
As someone who is completely new to this story this really looks appealing.
The only slight reservation I have, and it was one I had with the Green Lantern, is that the plot/story may suffer at the expense of, what is clearly, an effects heavy movie.
I never bothered watching the Green Lantern in the end but know that movie tanked but for some reason, this looks more solid regardless of its heritage.
Think it's definitely worth a punt at the cinema.
Rumour has it, the sequel is already in the works.
