Youtube Comments show that releasing the first 10 minutes of John Carter is the best argument Disney has put forward yet for the movie

As of this writing, only 319 people have viewed the first 10 minutes of John Carter on Youtube (it’s only been out for a couple of hours) but there are already 100 comments and they are overwhelmingly favorable. This is really significant because the deft, sure handed film-making of Andrew Stanton and the charm of the story are both on display here – -a first.

Now the question is — will enough people view this clip to make a difference.  [Update from Daniel: It’s also been posted on the Disney fan page on Facebook which has 33m Fans. Yay!]

Rest assured we’ll be doing our best to get this clip viewed by as many people as possible.

Here are the Youtube comments to date — so gratifying to see, and so different from the comments on the trailers.

• This…

  Looks…

  Awesome…

• So much for the myth of stuffing the best parts in the trailers… This is like a whole other movie… one I’d pay to see.

• No! Why did it cut off like that?! I guess I’ll have to watch the movie! It looks good so far!

• Are you fucking kidding me with that ending ? -.-

  Mixedhero 25 minutes ago

• Why did you cut it at the most exciting part?! WHYYYY?

  (jk, marketing purposes of course) lol

  MBenjo 31 minutes ago

• This looks great. It’s got that Indiana Jones feel to it and that makes me very happy.

  HerrWeinachten 31 minutes ago

• Nevermind the changes from the book. What I want to know is how Powell cleaned the shaving cream off his face and healed that cut fast enough to catch up to Carter.

  balgus82 33 minutes ago

• I am so stoked! Very good job. If the rest of the movie is this good I think guaranteed franchise. Just hope the word of mouth gets out there and enough people see it.

  nasnek 55 minutes ago

• @nasnek Starts off that way but changes about the point where this video ended…

  Gizmobyte 54 minutes ago

• A bit different than the book but in many ways similar. They add an aspect of his character that isn’t in the books, that he had a wife and is bitter about her death and of fighting. It’s already a 2 hr & 20 min film so they had to limit character development somewhat to keep the length down.

  Gizmobyte 55 minutes ago 2 

• wow, dat cliffhanger at the end… ! must see

• the second trailer made me want to read the book, so i finished the first book, then after the second book in the series i watched the third trailer and was totally disappointed because it’s not a screening of the books… it’s more of a spinoff. These first 10 minutes sealded it; they don’t even come close to the action in the Princess of Mars. there were indians and he did carry a guy to a cave but the guy was already dead and it was night and…. you get the point. Still gonna watch it 🙂

• @serbanalecs watch the legacy featurette. the more you watch films & read books, the more you will realize that not every minute detail from 1 medium can be translated into another. it just doesn’t work that way, it will destroy the film.

  nenabunena 1 hour ago

• @serbanalecs You almost have to expect them to rewrite parts of the story to appeal to a wider audience. Even Lord of the Rings didn’t stick 100% to the books. I can see why they changed it the way they did for this sequence.

• Thanks for the peek but this really shows how desperate they are to get this a BO success. $250 in the balance. I mean who really gives 10 minutes out? I still can’t wait to see this though.

• @TEKITOcreations No this is extremely long for a preview. This shows Disney’s iffyness. No doubt this will be good but you never know how the film going populace will react.
