Is that the role of a poster though, to make you 'understand' everything that's going on? Isn't it more to pique some interest in some aspect, at least, of the movie? Maybe that naked blue lady, maybe that crippled guy with the gastrointestinal difficulties, maybe seeing Hugh Jackman's genitals replaced with a little Ellen Page...

It's a rather dramatic casting decision to replace Hugh Jackman with Tim Robbins as Wolverine.

Also, there's a lot of empty useless space in that poster. It seems like everything is in that center third. I'm wondering if it would be better if they cropped it down a bit.

It's the problem with any character like that these days. The whole archetype is that they so smart or have such a high degree of mental powers that their body has atrophied or they became smart or mentally-proficient because of a handicap. The character basically traded off physical ability for mental ability. Their handicap defines them in some way, so you have to have Professor X in a hoverwheelchair because he's no longer Professor X without it (which is kinda bullshit since we have young Xavier running around in two films now). Or, ignoring all the alt universe bullshit DC has gotten into, you have Barbara Gordon refuse to accept a cybernetic exosuit to make her walk again for an admittedly noble ideal because it's more empowering for her to crawl around on the ground whenever she inevitably gets knocked out of her chair in a cheap ploy for tension. I mean, what's going to happen when therapeutic exosuits become common place, is Oracle going to still keep that ideal of not taking one until everyone has one or is she going to move the goalposts and claim when poor handicapped homeless people have them?

The movie's probably going to loving blow.

Man. This art style works for some movies, like say this one or Hobo with a Shotgun, but it seems like every other "B" movie is being released with these hideously garish painted posters and I do not like them at all. The new blu ray covers for Night of the Demons and Darkman are downright amateur and ugly.

It should come as surprise to no one that a recent oscar winner and the star of the other films in the franchise occupy a large space on the poster.

What should come as a surprise is that someone approved this poster with Professor Firefarts doing his thing there.

I much prefer painted posters to lazily photoshopped floating heads, no matter how hideous they are. Even a badly painted cover has a bit of the artist to them, and its a lot more charming that a coldly clinical souless 'shop.

So, isn't this film supposed to be about Logan AND Kitty Pryde going back in time? Or did they just decided to remove/downsize Kitty's part entirely?

I disagree with Darkman. It looks like a Comic Book cover, which is appropriate.

The original did too, but pulled it off much better. As it looks now, along with the Night of the Demons poster, it looks like they hired the first guy who looked like he knew how to hold a pen steady to draw it for them. And to top it off, both posters are pretty much the illustrated version of floaty heads/random stills thrown up wherever the illustrator could fit them. Like the more overly-worked Mondo posters, it's just clutter for the sake of clutter with no flow to it.



Man, looking at it again, the original Darkman poster is gorgeous AND tells you everything that needs to be said about the movie.

It is one of my favorites. And the best thing about those Blu Rays is, you can flip the artwork around and on the other side is the original poster. So you have your options. But I'm happier to see someone's newly commissioned piece then some slapped photoshop thing.

Rush Hours 1 and 2 show that sufficiently charismatic leads can overcome Ratner's deficiencies as a director, so I'm cautiously optimistic, because Dwayne Johnson oozes charisma out of every pore.

I think it's safe to say he was drunkposting. However, in the morning he will be sober and you'll still be weird.

Like both of you, that is a pretty bad poster. Hugh Jackman plays a mutant whose mutation is having a nipple shaped like James MacAvoy.
