Late follow-up:
"John Carter" will probably cost Disney $200 million in losses -- and has just cost Rich Ross, chairman of the film studio, his job.

Is it faithful to the novel?

Found it to be booring. Characters were'nt convincing. For a sci-fi the fantasy world created did not work for me.
I hated the movie.

Not really no. I think the biggest difference was the lack of nudity in the movie. In the novels the nudity made the story seem macho and manly in my opinion. Maybe barbaric is the word I'm looking for. The movie just seemed too clean and PC. Well, it is a Disney movie after all.
It just didn't capture the feeling of the novel the same way that the 1981 Conan movie captured the feeling of Robert Howard's Conan.
