Final Watchmen Movie Poster!

love to have a big one of those framed for my house, maybe I'll just do another watchmen painting and base it off the poster.

I was never fond of the 'from the director of 300'....

What is happening to the marketing of this movie?

I mean I thought the first posters were cool, and there have been some cool bits of marketing. But this poster is crap (the kind that completely clogs your pipes and makes the toilet water fill your bathroom), badly photoshoped pictures to mash them up, the floating "visionary" text, the yellow lighting at the end of the Watchmen title, it is completely unbalanced (too much visual weight on the poster's right hand side, that would be your left side)it is all complete crap, not only that but how come Rorscharch is soaked, yet everyone else's hair is completely dried and neatly combed?.

Before everyone starts complaining how I always bitch about everything, I studied design and marketing and although I may differ on the stylistic choices used I know when something is badly designed, and I can professionally say that either they rushed this piece or the team decided to give it to one of their lazy (oppossed to the good) interns.

this movie post is awesome and i can't wait to see it, but Dr. Manhattan seem to be out of place in comparsion to the other characters in the poster you got comedian, knight owl, silk spectre, ozymandias, rorschach and there BOOM is bright blue floating dr. manhattan. even though he is behind ozymandias he still seems larger than him. still this movie will be sweet.

this movie looks so boring for a comicbook, pff.

haha, NoobMike, I actually agree with you on that, the poster does look mashed together. This is only for the poster, the movie still looks awesome, but yes...The poster looks rushed and a bit amateur.

maybe that's the whole reason the perspective of the whole piece is way off? if you look at perspective studies using humans you'll see what I mean, every single one has their own point of perspective, and not one of those fits with the one the buildings have.

If a professional came to me with this poster as the final piece of work, I would shove it up their asses (I have rejected better work). xaosjerk, if I were you I'd take a lot of liberties adapting this piece of trash into a painted piece, I'd love to see your finished work, if this was a fanpiece I would think it was OK, but to come from the studio is really revolting. I mean just the use of the feather option in photoshop to cut them out is really poorly done.

ror, maybe we can throw him to fend of against Jesse Custer (Preacher), maybe that will be painful enough, or maybe he just thinks comic books are the Looney Tunes and Disney ones.

Yeah Noob, i also studied in art and this poster is total trash! And there's no squid in it!!! The nerve... :P But seriously, for a "final" poster, it would have cost less to just NOT do it. IMO, the movie will be great but this poster sucks.

And BOOK552, Oh right, just because he can be bigger doesn't mean it excuses the fact that he is on this poster. So that would mean that you'd be okay with Snyder making Doc Man a different size in every single shot without any explanation what so ever... just because "he can"? Well that just reaks of logic doesn't it.

xaosjerk- Please tell me you were kidding dude, when you said "The reason that none of them are wet except Rorschach is because Doc Manhattan just teleported the rest there and the rain hasn't hit their heads yet =P" because that would also make alot of freakin sense. LOL "Hey Doc, we're ready for the shot!", "Okay, i'll teleport everyone! I mean, i've become too existancial to care about the fate of the world but a picture is worth a thousand words..." LOLOL :P

Jokes aside, this movie will rock! For those about to ROCK, I SALUTE YOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!!

they should frame it and put it in the art museum in france(i dont know how to spell it)

Noob i think jesse might let him off...lets give him to the saint!

What do you mean Inohaku, I can see the squid clear as day, are you blind?

Really every time I see this I start foaming at the mouth, they have a huge budget and this is what comes out?

Really, not only is my bathroom flooded with crap diluted in water, it's starting to flood my living room and my kitchen.

Lol farmboy... could you please check the back of your neck and tell me if your skin is read? I mean farmboy + thinking this poster is great art + not knowing how to spell Louvre....

nooooo I know that is the owl ship, but are you blind too Shaman?

I can clearly see the squid, it's between silk spectre and night owl, it winks at me, it tells me to do things, it says that Snyder sucks wet farts out of pigeons' asses.

People need to give Snyder some credit. He shouldn't have given the fans false hope with his 100% accuracy claim, but I still think that just about everybody else would have completely bastardized the source material. 300 was freakin awesome and Dawn of Dead was great. Give him a few more movies and then if you want to hate him, you have the right.

I just don't understand why people complain that he just adapts straight from the comic to the screen and then complain that he isn't staying true to the comic.
He'll never be acclaimed as an amazing director, but you'd think at least the comic book fans would respect him.

But ya, I'm super psyched about this flick, but this poster sucks. I coulda made this in two days of photoshop class.

- Watchmen is not going to be the Best Comic book movie of the year,but the BEST movie of the year !!

- HURM

is there any FOX logo at the bottom of the poster?

i guess there's none

I'm chill Book, i'm chill. It's cool essay. Just letting you know that your explication was irrationnal and in no way a valid excuse for the crappyness of the poster. But it's cool, it's cool, let's all chill and ...have a bud.

yes, the Contests work for both as an incentive for the fans to participate, and for the studios, they work to promote a particular launch ( the movie itself or its respective DVD).. but there is ALREADY a cool NEW WATCHMEN DVD.. i´ll post an article for you to see.

I think that would be a cool pick for any Watchmen fan,but yeah maybe it is too soon since the Hulk Vs Contest is hard as of right now... mmmh yes let´s give CBM some time after the movie is released and the DVD comes out.. though that´s a long time from now...

Well there is always something new out there for sell,and there are fans for every comicbook character (heck, i am a Wonder Man´s fan for that matters :-]) but i was appealing to the amount of fans that Watchmen and Wolverine have, since they are the next-big budget-Live Action-hugely-anticipated (MUCH MORE than the Hulk Vs series) movies to be launched this year.

hey maybe not a "Fan Art" contest, maybe some "Fan Script" original story contest, thoug that would be odd to quantify.. perhaps limit it to a 500 words original story essay (BUT WITHOUT A POSSIBLE CAST INCLUDED, JUST THE CHARACTERS, SORRY SMAMAN!! :-]) lol

hehe i just pasted the last paragraph from my last comment in the new Hulk art article.. hehe sorry Shaman, couldn´t avoid it! :-] (but without the capital letters, that is)
