Haven't been able to get through all of the John Carter books yet. 

In terms of Sword & Planet stories, here is a predecessor of ERB--

The new long awaited John Cater movie is going to be great
according to the trailers. Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” is a nice added surprise for the
soundtrack, as mentioned. It looks as if the script pretty much sticks to
Burroughs’s story
line too. Also it is a plus for the movie to be made by Disney, for many
reasons. I am so looking forward to this movie.
Looks like we have a winner!!!
A few of questions;
How many here have read some or all of the books of the series?
Is the John Cater series the first Sword and Planet stories?
Also, does anyone know if the new movie is the first of a
trilogy?
Here is a link to a nice John Cater website.

Yes all the feedback I'm seeing is pretty good.
