You can now see a few minutes from the arena scene in Andrew Stanton’s John Carter, featuring the big battle with the blind white apes. Here it is – and keep watching when it’s done for an assortment of “sizzle footage.”
And still that’s not really hitting the right notes – but it’s better, again.
Disney have now lifted their embargo on people tweeting about the film. As a result, the love has rushed forth. Here are a series of tweets from those who have seen the film in the last week or so – including some comments from a few familiar faces.
I am no longer in danger of being killed for saying that I quite liked “John Carter”.Full reviews are still embargoed, though.

John Carter: Lynn and Taylor were great. You’ll love Woola and will leave hoping they’ll make a sequel.

With the #johncarter embargo lifted, I can admit that I loved it. Dramatic, beautifully designed and tonnes of good old fashioned action.

Watched John Carter last night liked it a LOT. Fun epic-adventure, great action sequences, with a sense of humour.

John Carter: despite a couple of problems, it’s hugely entertaining, never dull and looks divine.

John Carter embargo lifted! Yay! I can tell you it’s a proper space opera that feels hugely epic and looks gorgeous. Thanks, @andrewstanton

John Carter is fantastic. It’s witty, very cinematic, smart and imaginative. Be excited. Be VERY excited.

Some of the camera and editing ideas in John Carter are so good. So very, very good.

Bleeding Cool will have lots more to say about John Carter in the coming weeks. It’s just two weeks away. Make plans.
