Maybe not the most obvious example of a terrible poster, but I come across this one almost daily and it's absolutely godawful. This tells me absolutely NOTHING about the movie. And this is a goddamn Cronenberg movie; there's probably a whole lot to tell. I mean, why would anyone go to this? Oh, it has these actors? Well, sold! As bland and boring as they come.

Young Freud posted:This is pretty awful. It looks very much like the mainstream DVD cover version, since I doubt audiences would have got the gestalt reference of the initial poster... See, even though I'm not a fan of this one either, at least it's trying to say something. It's implying something. Bringing something to the table. That other one is just WATCH THESE ACTORS IN A MOVIE! POSSIBLY A PERIOD PIECE?!

The MSJ posted:Vikings: also too cool to look at burning stuff behind them. Also, Dominic Purcell looks weird with that hair; maybe because I'm more used to seeing him with less. When I think 'great movies', I think 'Marriot'. Madkal posted:Honestly, seeing that poster makes me think that Red Tails is closer to Inglorious Basterds than anything else. A blaxploitation 'Red Tails' directed by Quentin Tarantino would be great. Dissapointed Owl fucked around with this message at 08:49 on Jan 25, 2012 |

thrawn527 posted:Keep in mind that even the first Crow is not really all that good. It's extremely 90s angst/goth. I'm not trying to open a can of worms or anything, but I don't think it's very much like Blade at all. It's well put together for what it is, and has some great scenes, but I think it only really worked for the time it came out. Watching it for the first time now might not be a very good experience. I agree with this. Saw it for the first time two or three years ago and it doesn't really hold up. e: I'd add my reasons why to this post but I can hardly remember anything from that movie.

Gringo Heisenberg posted:I really like the poster for I Saw the Devil. Simple but unsettling. Yeah, that poster is fantastic. Shame about the movie though. (I hated it.) Speaking of South Korean movies, The Yellow Sea never had a good poster to begin with. (even though it's a great movie albeit with one of the least convincing car chase sequences I have ever seen) But this is just awful. Screencap and unnecessary name change included.:
