Most print advertising for movies these days is awful. I was just reading a book about poster artist Drew Struzan. He recently retired. Partially because how little demand there is for traditional illustration in film advertising now. But even when filmmakers who are fans of his like Frank Darabont and Guillermo del Toro have requested him to do posters for their films, they had no power to make the studios use the art. Its all in the power of the studios advertising divisions.

So I would certainly agree that a bad movie poster should not badly reflect the quality of the film itself. Though yet they do certainly create a bad first impression.
I'm bored to tears of mainstream movie advertising. If your poster isn't a moody looking protagonist's floating head it's a HDR'd to death montage of random shit.I think beyond the overall lack of imagination of all film adverstsing these days, this example shows a concern on Fox's part.
^ Exactly. I'm not going to say that I haven't done it...because I have...the internet makes it so easy to give a knee-jerk reaction to productions these days. It's very hard I find to be objective or not judge something until I see actual footage from it.
One of the top stories on Yahoo right now is how bad these posters are.![]()
Director Matthew Vaughn told Entertainment Weekly that the 1960s setting makes this film like "X-Men meets [James] Bond, with a little bit of 'Thirteen Days' thrown in." It's clear in the trailer that the style of the '60s is everywhere in the movie, from the character's regular clothes to their X-Men uniforms, which copy the blue-and-yellow color scheme from the original comic books. Obviously, there is a lot of action in the movie, but Vaughn insists there's more to it than that. He said, "It's got a lot of teenage angst. The 'Twilight' girls will like it."
Sorry if this is old, but...
