I don't have a problem with this one at all. The title is legible, and the graphical elements support it well. Using flags instead of a globe to symbolize the world is a nice way to show that humanity is not a unified force, whereas we can see from the poster that the zombies are. Then there's the tilt, which adds a bit of tension to the poster and reinforces the idea that the world has gone awry.

And the story is an anthology complied by a UN dispatch, so it kind of has a nice feeling of being a cover sheet for the final report (although the movie isn't doing it that way). Actually would make for a nice custom dust cover for the book too.

That whole selection isn't terrible for fan-made posters, but this is the only one I'd admit to actually liking.

This one would be SO much better if the background was just Mount Doom / Sauron's Eye Tower thingy. As it is it misses the whole point of the LOTR trilogy and Frodo's mission.

It depicts a moment in the film though? When Aragorn and Company get the attention of Sauron's eye, and he sends his hordes to go get em', still unaware Frodo is almost at the Mountain.

I have some notes.

Alternatively: anything that becomes so overplayed is tedious and grating.
There is something inherently terrifying about the concept of zombies, they've just lost their mystique due to over saturation. Every goes through phases.

Zombies are completely overdone, and werewolves and especially vampires are ruined forever.

Meanwhile, Kaiju and Creatures from Lagoons just sit there being completely unutilized. Kaiju better be the next big thing.

:colbert:

It's been well over a decade since Roland Emmerich ruined Godzilla in the US. It's about time some nerdwank director like Joss Whedon do that poo poo justice.

Speaking of Kaiju and Pacific Rim, I really like the posters for that film:




Though that might just be me liking the design of the Jaegers. I do like that they absolutely dominate every poster for this film. Gives it this feeling of "This thing is just as dangerous as the monsters it's supposed to fight."

Big robots punching big aliens in the face. It's basically a Toho movie but made with an American budget.

To be fair, it does have an awful lot to do with the Power Rangers even if it's not part of the franchise.

So it's not an adaptation of a previously existing work, is what I'm asking. The way everyone is on it's dick made it seem like it was.

It looks like fun but I wish Hollywood would just let del Toro make his version of At The Mountains Of Madness. If only to see how he handles the story's insanely racist themes.

On topic:

Good art for a good movie

Nah, it's basically Evangelion crossed with Godzilla/Cloverfield crossed with a Disaster movie crossed with the G.I. Joe movie.

Power Rangers is somehow even stupider than that, although I mean that as a compliment.

Not only does it captures the point of the movie (the small folks sneaks by the big folks unnoticed), it almost literally depicts a scene from the movie (Sauron's army marching towards Gondor not knowing that the hobbits are in Mordor climbing the stair).

The point of LOTR is that individual bravery counts for a lot more than who has the bigger army. The poster shows a big army. The big army isn't important.

But apparently a lot of people miss the point of LOTR so enjoy your poster I guess.

Yeah, that's what the poster is showing. The Hobbits are doing their own thing and heading into the most dangerous place in Middle Earth while the big army is distracted. The big army is really loving important.
