Empire and CinemaBlend are not impressed by the latest “X-Men: First Class” poster. The poster shows the cast as their characters, but everyone’s been photoshopped to be walking at an angle.
That’s not the only problem with the poster, though; many people’s heads look like they are way too big for their bodies, the walking poses look really odd and doll-like, and the shadows (which fade away) are hilarious–why do they have to fade away? Shadows don’t just fade in real life. There’s a lot of stuff going on in this poster that’s not very good and doesn’t sell the movie well at all.
“X-Men: First Class”, set in 1963 and tells the origin story of the beginning of Charles Xavier’s (James McAvoy) School for Gifted Youngsters. It also relates the story of Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr’s (Michael Fassbender)friendship-turned-rivalry. Also starring January Jones, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Kevin Bacon, the film will be in theaters June 3, 2011.
The poster for the film can be seen below. What do you guys make of it? Are you sick of seeing bad photoshopping skills, or is this poster not as bad as bloggers have been making it out to be? Sound off on this and other “X-Men”-related news in the comments section below.
