Usually we don't get to see a "Critics" TV spot this early, but it seems that Walt Disney Pictures decided it's time for word-of-mouth marketing. Quotes are from people who saw the film in Arizona at the press screening. Also, there is another spot like this only longer, and it was shown last night right before the Academy Awards. The quality is not perfect, almost low-res, but if I find the HD version, I'll update the article. Check it out:

From Academy Award®--winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes "John Carter"—a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). "John Carter" is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands. The screenplay was written by Andrew Stanton, Mark Andrews and Michael Chabon.
