Are you a good person?
I like that Iron Man poster. It's obviously not a frame right out of the film but it feels like a promised part of the story, which beats any poster that's just a plain pose or a bunch of heads.

I said it in the Comic Book Movie thread, but I really like that poster because it reminds me of Icarus.
Which kind of fits due to Tony's arrogance.

I think it's pretty interesting. A bit odd to see a superhero movie poster that shows the hero getting his poo poo wrecked.
Promised son, flying to close to the sun, having his machine break causing him to plummet back to earth. It's like the story of Icarus from Greek mythology. Also it looks like parts of the machine are melting-ish.

Wait, there's a new comedy out now with Jim Carrey in it and it actually looks good, and I kinda want to watch it?

The last movie I've seen featuring Jim Carrey was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and that was like 8 years ago.

He jumped after it at about that altitude in the 2nd one, after Pepper tossed it out of a plane.

I agree that angry screamy face looks silly and it would've been better with a resigned, sacrificial eyes-closed expression, or with the helmet on.

That scene was only in the trailer. They opted to not have Pepper on the plane, so it looked like Iron Man was dropping into a warzone.

I think a closed-eyes look would make for a better image but that poster is going to do what it's supposed to do - get people excited about the high-flying action in the new Iron Man movie. It's actiony enough to get people interested in seeing a guy in a robot suit fight other guys but the "Icarus" thing will draw in people who are interested in the Tony Stark character. A good poster for good people.

You can see it though on the Blu-Ray and IMHO it makes the movie better, it also has some foreshadowing with the palladium subplot.

I haven't seen The Lost Boys, but I do think that poster's pretty good. It gets across what the movie's about pretty succinctly, which is what the majority of fan posters really fail to do.

And I forgotot mention it when it was around at the time, but the Burt Wonderstone poster is great except for one thing. Carell and Buschemi are meant to be partners, but they're on separate levels, with Buschemi up with Carrey who's sort of an antagonist I guess? I think it would've worked better to convey the movie's relationships to have Carell and Buschemi on the front row, and then Carrey alone on the second.

I challenge anyone to find a worse minimalist fan-made poster than this:


Even if you do know what it's supposed to represent, it still says nothing beyond 'a Proton Pack has four red lights'. Besides which, the official poster with the No-Ghost logo is about as perfect as a minimalist Ghostbusters poster can get.

Exactly. I'd be hard pressed to find a worse poster. Although that Matrix one is lovely, and again I'm not too sure what it's supposed to represent (movie-wise) at least I know it's a battery immediately.

The matrix poster is the worst because while the concept is not inherently awful (you could easily do some thing good with the battery motif), the execution is so incredibly inept and lazy. Look at those loving colours. I don't know what the visual equivalent of a "tin ear" is, but the creator of that turd has two of them.

Well the humans are used as an energy source for the robots, and Morpheus explains that to Neo by showing him a battery, so at least there's more than one meaning behind it. The Ghostbusters one is literally just a representation of some lights on a thing. That iconic imagery that we all fell in love with the first time we saw Ghostbusters - some lights on a thing.

No, there is only one meaning to it. How is that more than one?
