Absolutely love it and have watched it multiple times at the theater. I even have it on 3D Blu-ray. Never watched Avatar again after seeing it in the theater.

Sorry, didn't know I needed to be more specific. 97 years, 5 months before Avatar.

You're joking, right? John Carter was a train wreck. Worse adaptation of an ERB property than all the Tarzan movies combined. There was some decent CGI, and that's it.

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.
Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke may sound like a weird casting idea, but it was a really great flick.

No, not joking. But to be clear, I'm not judging it as an adaptation because I haven't read the ERB novels. I'm judging it on its own merits. I enjoyed the story, I thought the CGI was excellent for the time the film was made, and I found Dejah Thoris scorchingly hot.
Not a bad way to spend a few hours.

I liked this movie too. I had forgotten about it. Speaking of boots I'm not sure if it is "underrated" or just not well known but "Suicide Kings" is a great movie too with an ongoing thing about boots made of Stingray or as they are called in the movie "fish boots"
