Includes key art for the following 2017 movies:
Geostorm Marvel may be the envy of all of Hollywood. But in a clear attempt to make a disaster drama look like a superhero movie, and perhaps to make Gerard Butler look like Robert Downey Jr., the designers of Geostorm’s poster only succeeded in making a mediocre blockbuster look like a mediocre b-grade mockbuster.
The Emoji Movie The emoji movie jumped on the character posters bandwagon but somehow made characters that are literally the embodiment of primal emotions come off as boring. They really only needed one poster and I think we all know which one that is.
The Man From Earth: Holocene I thought we stopped applying cheap radial blur effects to dull photographs with boring type treatment in the late 90s but these designers didn’t get the memo.
Hellraiser: Judgement Likewise, Hellraiser seems content to remind us it hasn’t changed too much since you picked up the original on VHS in 1987.
Daddy’s Home This mainstream Christmas comedy poster followed the formula to a T…and that was before they took out all the Christmas decorations to leave us with the dreaded, nondescript white comedy backdrop.
Youth In Oregon Another poster that follows every rule in the Hollywood book of boredom.
Gates of Darkness The only thing worse than one bad poster is two bad posters. Or in this case, six bad posters.
All Saints The most fun you’ll ever have watching John Corbett have the most fun he’s ever had riding an 80-year old tractor driven by an 80-year old man. The only thing All Saint’s needs is a few more flares of heavenly light. There. Fixed it.
Danger Close While some bad posters try to camouflage themselves a sea of uniformity, others employ the strategy of literally blending into the background.
Attrition Steven Seagal’s combat pose looks more like a lonely hug with an invisible friend.
Also includes posters that – while by no means horrible – fail to reflect the quality of the movies that they advertise, or are just so painfully predictable that they couldn’t escape unnoted.
