Poster Review - March 2013


Man, it has been awhile since I did one of these. "Rarely" indeed. Anyway, let's get started with something timely:



Coming off the second place weekend showing of Olympus Has Fallen is the other White House invasion movie, White House Down, whose trailer is to hit tomorrow. I get the subtle direction but we are talking about a Roland Emmerich film, not United 93.



What here is to make me interested in this product? The orange BMX helmet? The faux-Stargate? The tiny pea-shooter? To make it even worst is the top tagline; At the end, it should read "Becomes a Motion Picture Event That Will Generate Protests and Bring Up Harsh Discussions About Its Discriminating Author".



Wow, this is beyond awful. Is this an early April Fool's joke? This can not be something released by the marketing department of a major studio. What is going on with all of the ninjas? Are they fighting the badly superimposed Wolverine or protecting him? This poster is even far worst when you compare it the other two teasers that evoke the savagery and the ronin lifestyle of the Marvel character.



Despite all of the hubbub with the production problems, loosely adapted script and questionable trailers, this poster for World War Z is sure to stop people in their tracks. Its monochromatic version is also pretty good.



...It's also for comedians looking to stay relevant after several major fiascos.



Oh no, not the dissolve body! I thought Hollywood learned their lesson from Chun-Li and the infamous X-Men: First Class character sheets.



COYOTE TANGO. That is an amazing action name.



Deliberately head-scratching, I love it.



Continuing the striking and P.R. happy character sheets for an over-hyped follow-up to an okay movie, Sofia Vergara gets to unleash the Mazinger Z in her soul and bust. "Breast Fire!" indeed.



This last poster is for an Israeli film that might fly under the radar this year. I love the title joke.
