Stark, simple, clean, effective and straight to the point. Beautiful design.

You are right, those were great posters. I completely forgot that the new Punisher movie existed when I was preparing the post. You are right, those were great posters.

What you said. 14) Blade Trinity. All of the character sheets, final poster was really flowing and had a lightly distressed canvas look. 13) Superman Returns: Not a huge lover of the "S" teaser, but liked most of the posters where Superman flew around the Daily Planet and such. 12) Batman /Batman Returns: Remember the Batman Icon with the snow in it? I liked that a lot. I liked the sttand alone poster of Catwoman too. I didn't like the heads stacked up on each other. 11) The Hulk: I loved that poster too. I'm glad I bought a print and it also remains on the Danny Elfman CD cover. I rank it here because the teaser was Hulk's hand, and then the charge down San Francisco. Not a huge ad campaign, nothing really grabbing me. It's fine though...and then...blasphemy! The DVD cover had a horrid rendering/re-interpetation of that poster. Gawd, it was terrible. 10) Batman Forever: The final poster has a nice flow to it. Take these characters on thier respected one sheets and only Batman and Chase Meridan impress, the latter only so because it was Nicole Kidman. 9) Elektra: The 'Daredevil' spinoff film sucked butt with straws; but I loved some of the early promotional posters and sort of wished they stuck with them. Theere was this one where The Hand Villains 'surrounded' Elektra. That's my personal favorite. 8) V For Vendetta : Echos of German expressionism from the late 40's. Nice campaign. 7) X Men United/X2: Loved the various characters in "X"; but the group poster with them walking...outstanding. 6) Howard The Duck : No, you are not insane. The Egg poster was great, as was Howard with the magazine. Very good camapign. Problem was that although this film has achieved cult status, the film was a huge bomb in 86, and thus gave Marvel's duck a movie connection f dismay (I'm actually hoping for a remake one day) 5) Sin City. No reason given. No reason to. 4) Superman/Superman II : Not just the "S". But the best tagline that has yet to be topped "You'll believe that a man can fly". The second film had Chris Reeve Superman looking serious and flying at you. 3) The Rocketeer : The original Art Deco style. You know which one I mean. 2) Spider-Man : The recent "3" film- and poster campaign has slightly disappointed me. I don't mind it, but oddly, is it just co-incidence that *no* villain posters were made, and there wasn't enough Sandman let alone Venom, n the film? Still, I loved Spidey 2's poster line. 1) The Punisher : when Lion's Gate took over Artisan, all we had was the Punisher Skull with the blood splattered background and then Tom Jane on a wet street, his shadow forming a skull. After LGF you know what happened to the "new" ad campaign. How could you even leave out the Tim Bradstreet series? My Favorites:
