Fantastic Four reboot

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

There's some brief spotlight clips on the actors, not bad but I'd have preferred them to have been about the characters though.

I'm glad they're doing this, everybody's spoiling too much before the movies even comes out, it's not cool, jail the mother****ers! :

That's why I don't mind the secrecy of this flick, in general. keeps things for the actual movie viewing experience rather than showing half of it in clips and trailers.

I'm hoping that's just a bad photoshop job, because right now the Thing looks terrible. It wouldn't surprise me if it is photoshopped by a guy looking for his 15 minutes, because here's this supposedly massive graphic and yet nobody else takes a photo of it. Plus the photo itself is just blurry and grainy enough to say hoax. Still, who knows. Every time I think this movie is going to actually pull it off, it seems to sink back into the hole.

Makes an excellent point.

Thing doesn't look bad, but the poster looks terrible, as all comic movie posters must apparently.

None have been truly memorable in years. Only the ink style poster of Wolverine comes to mind as unique and decent.

 

[GasparZizou]

The Winter Soldier posters were pretty good.

The Man of Steel posters too.

Also, Guardians of the Galaxy.

All the rest sucked

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I liked the Winter Soldier and Guardians posters quite a bit, and even those had way more Photoshop than I care for. The Mondo type of things are better. None of the others that I can think of did much for me. I like the Ant-Man one, but it's just a joke obviously.

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah the Ant-Man one is fantastic, even if it's a joke, it's a very creative concept.

Everything I've seen by Martin Ansin is beyond tasteful.

Not sure if Mondo.

But this is...

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Black Widow's pose is awful in most of the posters

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah, this is the only BW poster I like.

 

[karamazov80]

This one blows the doors off of all the official comic posters, and is great at capturing the '70s poster vibe, appropriate since this film is in many ways a love letter to political spy/espionage flicks of the '70s but was only for cast and crew.

and the great one from First Avenger, which references both classic film posters from the '40s, and political propaganda posters from WWII.

 

[GasparZizou]

Damn, why can't regular posters be that good? You already spent millions making the movie, spend a few more cents in a decent poster artist.

 

[karamazov80]

The thing is, they paid the artists to make those! And gave them away to cast and crew As I posted earlier, film studios don't want genuinely aesthetically pleasing posters, or those with any intrinsic artistic value. They want something that appeals to the broadest possible audience, and I'm sure they have the data to tell them that the masses respond to the PS'd puke we see out there all the time.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Yeah, this is the only BW poster I like.

Really? That's the pose I hate It's like she's selling a hair product in that pic. She's like,"the world is ending behind me, but my hair looks great"

Oh yeah, that's why Iron Man pops up in all Asian posters

Y u hate sexy?

The reason movie posters don't look like that any more is actors usually have likeness rights that extend to approval of their image on the poster. That's why so many movie posters are photochopped to use publicity stills and screen test photos of the actors.

 

[RIDDICK]

It's like she's selling a hair product.

"The world is ending behind me, but my hair looks great."

Not to mention that they've photoshppd her body to the point of "this can't be a real human being".

It looks like a Steranko comic cover, which is pretty great IMO.

Though this could be the case with the Marvel stuff, in the Struzan documentary, Guillermo del Toro talks about there being studio decisions causing this even with posters where there wouldn't have been these kinds of concerns.

Yeah, these are both great - I swapped the real ones for these as my Plex movie posters immediately.

I love TWS's title being in quotation marks. It really sells the poster's vibe.

 

[Niltusk]

That was my first thought, really invokes some of the classic art.

Those posters kick so much *** and so appropriate for someone like Cap to boot, maybe the studios don't think modern audiences will appreciate them.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

But this is...

Mondo should have done better on that one. Stout should've had the art duties

 

[GasparZizou]

Now that you mention it, it looks a little uneven, top half looks more realistic and bottom half looks overly stylized.

 

[Brainiac]

The first poster and the second are really good(just the order as seen on this page), the third one however is not so good... I would buy it if I had the chance but I would more than likely just stick it in with my other prints and leave it.... not a display piece

 

[Darth Snoopy]

This poster I really like.

This one not so much.

These two posters, IMO, are awesome.
