The poster makes like look more like Mark Hamill than the actor, they must have had such a hard on for Star Wars when they made this.
In the movie he even blows up a Star Wars movie bill board.

Mondo put up a series of posters for the films of P.T. Anderson. The series is curated by Aaron Horkey, so most of them seem to be a cut above the usual Mondo fare.

If the face was more scary than gross it could've been a great poster. There are a few shots where he actually looks pretty nasty, and not like some sloppy mutant having a stroke.

The type treatment on the title makes me physically angry, considering There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite movies of all time and how anyone could think that sort of font style has anything in common with that film is mindblowing.

^^^ It's a little hard to read at this size, but it's totally fitting, and works pretty well with the design.

These two are actually pretty good. I wouldn't want either of them on my wall, but that TWBB one is loving gorgeous. Definitely agree that the title is not very easy to read, though.

I agree that that the Les Mis one is actually pretty good, far better than that movie deserves, even. But that Beasts one looks horrible. Why are the beast's tusks coming from behind its tongue? Not to mention that it makes it look like the movie is all about the beast when it obviously isn't. It's still better than the other ones I posted, but I wouldn't call it good.

But, to make up for those two controversial inclusions, I present a :siren: Drive Fan Poster Megapost :siren:

1. 2.
3. 4.
5. 6.
7. 8.
9. 10.
11. 12.

And a challenge: Which of these is the worst? And which is 'best'?

13 is the worst, 3 comes closest to being a decent poster.

Every one of these is gorgeous and befitting the tone of the movies they display. These aren't advertisements, they're works of art. Legibility and accessibility are not a factor; the only consideration is aesthetic beauty, which each of these has in high numbers.

They're all definitely miles beyond what Mondo usually puts out, that's for sure. Actual artistry instead of lame vector line drawings! *gasp* The only one I don't dig that much is the one for Punch Drunk Love.

The TWBB one is gorgeous but the title is practically illegible. If you hadn't indicated what movie this was I would be completely lost.

The Punch-Drunk Love poster is simple and uses bold colours as symbols just like the movie, which I like a lot. I'm not sure that it comes together cohesively but I can at least get what they were going for. The only thing that I don't like is that it's hard to tell what's with the character's pose. Did he punch himself? Did he trip? Maybe the point is that you can't really tell but it comes across as confusing more than anything else.

As others have already said, they're "terrible" as Film Posters but they legitimately look good and I'd gladly hang most of those on my wall. They also seem to be done by professional artists and not Flavor-of-the-Week indie "artists" like Mondo usually features.

But they're still supposed to be movie posters representing movies. Maybe the TWBB one is the least like a traditional poster, but why have the title take up so much space if it's completely illegible?
