I'm curious about the movie, though my gut tells me it'll be dismal. Other than coming across Burrough's world in one of L. Sprague de Camp's short stories I know nothing of the source material. Can anyone enlighten me? Does the movie have any hope?


It's classic planetary romance / adventure pulp. I re-read them as an adult and liked. I think I'll re-read again.

Yes, Heinlein's "Number of the Beast" forced me to read them. - 08/03/2012 06:36:11 AM 723 Views
