This poster for The Forbidden Kingdom is very forgettable. Some generic ancient Chinese imagery, four guys we can’t recognize with their backs to us, and a text that, even if it was interesting, is way too small to be read.
This film has, supposedly, two things going for it: some amazing visuals and, by far most […]

I’m not sure I understand what is going on in this poster. Is there some kind of war going on down there? And if that is the case why is the dude fighting a sabertooth? Shouldn’t he be more worried about the fight below?
Confusion aside, this poster is very consistent with the previous poster, […]

This new Spiderwick Chronicles poster uses much of the image of the first poster, but adds some darker colors, a few little monsters and a beware sign. So, it basically turns what was a teaser poster that hinted at the possibility of magic and danger into a poster that shows us those things. It also […]

These banners for I Am Legend are quite cool. The posters so far focused solely on New York, showing it devastated. This collection broadens the scope of the destruction immensely. And to a certain extent they drive home the point that Will Smith isn’t just alone on New York, on on America. He is alone […]

In what may become a weekly thing, here is a round-up of recent posters that for some reason or other didn’t get a full post.

The design here is just original enough to make the look of the poster memorable. Very tasteful too.

I really hated this poster the first time I saw it, […]

I know The Golden Compass is a big movie and all, but man it has had a lot of posters. The latest ones are another batch of character posters. They are very different from the last batch of character posters, even tough some of the same characters appear.
The new posters are, in general, very nice […]

This new poster for The Water Horse is less cutesy than the last one, and in part because of that I think it does a better job of appealing to the young ones without repelling the adults that will have to take them to see the film. The poster also more clearly positions the movie […]

Strange. That is one word that could be used to describe Donnie Darko, the first feature film from director Richard Kelly. And I’m sure it will also describe his second film, Southland Tales. But the question is, will Tales be the good kind of strange? Darko certainly was, so there is some hope.
This UK quad […]

I always thought that the armored white bear was the most interesting thing to be found in any of the previous Golden Compass posters. So I’m very happy to see another poster bringing some more bear action, and I like the fact that the collage poster below puts the girl on the bear at the […]

I thought that the first trailer for I Am Legend used the sight of a desolated and destroyed New York to very good effect. And I think the new poster does the same. The background gives a sense of the film’s setting and story, and it makes the whole poster much more interesting to look […]
