She's been killed off in a lot of her acting appearances which must be tough to go through. I'd comfort her right up her arse. I'm not afraid to say it

She seems like a sweet, genuine person, and I've always thought she was very attractive, so now I like her even more. I think she has the perfect look for Dejah Thoris as well. I'm really looking forward to John Carter because I really enjoy the books.

@MrEko R ratings are a no-no for the main Disney label, so they had to bring it down to a PG-13. ;P

I loved the trailer and think this will do really great as a potential franchise, yet the version they chose is a more watered down version. Dejah Thoris is half naked ALL THE TIME...picture Princess Leila slave outfit only skimpier....yeah....like that

A) Lynn Collins - not that gorgeous.
B) Dejah Thoris is a busty, half-naked warrior princess. Don't koow how Disney's going to compromise the character, but I know it won't be as it should be.
C) No disrespect to her as an actress - but it doesn't sound like Burroughs' John Carter of Mars.

Just finished Princess of Mars. She is perfect for this role. Only complaint, NOT ENOUGH NUDITY.

She is so smokin hot! Really disappointed in the costumes though. I didn't expect nudity as in the books, but I didn't expect full dress either!!!!

Everybody keeps saying Dejah Thoris should be half-naked, but in A Princess Of Mars, she's 100% nekkid All The Time. Clearly that wasn't gonna happen in a tentpole film for any studio.

And if anyone complains about the lack of nudity not respecting the source material, remember EVERYBODY on Mars is naked all the time. Do you really want that?
