Jan 28 2009Watchmen, Gather 'Round, Time for a Group Shot in the Rain!
Combining the poster trends of standing in the middle of a street and ass presentation puts this one just a few floating heads and some chunky red lettering away from being the ultimate movie poster.

This poster sucks. Everything else about this movie(trailers, featurettes, viral marketing) is top notch. But they totally phone it in on the poster. Still going to see it though.

@4 It's called the homo-moblie or the flying fag bus. Your call...you tell us.

Funniest thing about this poster... "From the 'visionary' director of 300. ROFL

Does any one else see how horrible the perspective is on Dr. Manhattan, you should be looking up at his chest at that height, not down.

looks like they copied the idea from the joker dark night poster: http://the-reviewer.net/wp-content/uploads/the-dark-knight-joker-poster-500w.jpg

@3
I totally agree with you. That's one seriously thrown together poster right there :s

Also, 'From the Visionary Director of '300'' being there is pissing me off for reasons I do not understand.

Third(?) the comments about "visionary". Snyder has in no way shown himself to be a visionary (unless it's visions of oiled homoeroticism and female characters that pretend to be empowered but actually fulfill every male fantasy out there), but the promo people have decided to cement this adjective to his job description.

Um... isn't the Owl supposed to be pudgy?

@9 When his woman gets too in his face, he goes to Mars. He can do ANYTHING, including grow. I think they used that to their crammed poster advantage- in case the informed public forgot he was blue AND speshul.

the "Visionary Director" title does manage to make me chuckle and upset simultaneously, what' so visionary about shooting the exact panels of a comic book? Only movie he has ever done was "Dawn of the Dead". Clearly the kinda of work where Visionary Directors get their start... =/
and the poster looks like the first live action Ninja Turtles movie poster

I'd rather see Tin-Tin than this trumped up turd.
@13 What's your deal, anyway? Are you just upset that you don't fulfil any male fantasies? I don't understand why you've got to use what could only be a joke about 300's director as an excuse to gripe about having the horrible misfortune to have been born female. It's not mens' fault you're a girl. What's so bad about being a girl, anyway? Penis envy is fucking stupid.

What the hell happened? This poster is truly awful. It should be a game in the back of the Sunday paper: What's wrong with this picture? How many errors can you spot?

i don't care what the poster looks like, i'm still uberpumped for this movie, for ford's sake!

the smoke coming from the comedian's cigarette kind of looks like sperm...on his face.
