Kotaku, The Messy, True Story Behind The Making Of Destiny (Destiny)

It was said that Andrew Stanton's over direction of John Carter was one of the major reasons it flopped.

That is not the general consensus in the industry.

Really? All the articles I read said that his inexperience and his complete control over the whole process, including the marketing, caused the film to flop. The agreement seems to be that he shouldn't have been given that much responsibility.

That has everything to do with his skill as a director, not his level of involvement. And yes, marketing was the largest factor.
