Okay, the last set of character-specific posters were pretty good. These are beyond words. I don\’t think anyone\’s vocabulary is expansive enough to convey just how awful these are.

Spent over twenty years as a graphic designer, and seen a lot of good and bad Photoshop use, or as in this case, amateur Photoshop use. I get what they\’re aiming for; the instant recognition of the Xavier and Magento characters in silhouette, tying this into the prequel with the younger versions. It\’s just so poorly executed. As bad as the last X-men movie was, do they really want to start their marketing with this?

The last ones weren\’t exactly amazing, but they were obviously professionally done, and had some gorgeous colors, even if they felt a little unreal.

These are absolutely putrid. In fact, I don\’t think they could actually have been put out by the studio. I think these were either fan made, or someone inside just made them for fun and \”leaked\” them to the internet to cause a fuss. There is no possible way these are actually made or approved by the studio.

What would have them do? Put \”From the Director of Stardust\” at the top?

I thought the last ones were crap as well. The horrible colours.

You liked the last ones?

They were garishly overprocessed, and the future-self reflections bit was heavy-handed and kind of dumb.

That said, these are pretty wretched.

Yeah… but every journalist is talking about it = reminding people about the movie.
