Where's "Of The?" I can only spot "THE RETURN KING" which sounds like the lamest nickname ever for a Blockbuster patron.

It's just to the right of the word "Return", but it's so stupidly stylized that it's nigh unreadable.

Well, naturally, that's where I'm looking... but I can't make heads or tails out of it. I can sort of make out a ridiculously tiny "the", but there is no way my brain is recognizing the squiggle above it as "of." Does not compute.

I honestly don't think the posters is very good. The art itself is impressive but it could belong to any fantasy film and the text is drat near unreadable.

Here is an amazing poster by the same artist for True Grit which I feel works much better with his style. It could be bought as a regular poster as well as a wood etching.

I'm kind of having difficulty remembering why. The only thing that comes to mind whenever I see his name is Blade, though I do remember him being a "name" at the time.

The art is interesting but it's too difficult to read. A poster is something to be plastered on a billboard, so you want something that a pedestrian or motorist will instantly understand and respond to. When I first looked at this poster I first thought it was a movie about Ben Franklin, because it reminded me of this cartoon he drew:

2) Dude has just poked his head in on something he thought would be innocent, but turns out to be something hellishly horrific and is all like "HOLY gently caress :gonk:" like the infamous Italian Spider-Man gif

Not sure what you mean by "fuckup", but this is a "giant robots vs. giant monsters" movie and those are full-size adult humans. That should give you an idea as to the scale of this movie.

I hadn't paid any attention to Pacific Rim so I'm pretty pleasantly surprised to find out that it's a Guillermo Del Toro movie about giant robots and isn't about WWII like I assumed. Now I want to see it. Well done movie poster, you have done your job.
