Look at that poster. Really nice, isn't it? Subtle, evocative, emotional, and above all, well designed.
Yet anyone who's vaguely familiar with the Madea character (and I stress the word vaguely) will know that the films about said character are not AT ALL subtle, evocative, etc. They're basically Big Momma's House movies (and if I am mistaken, and only the trailers for the film make them seem to be low grade cheese, let me know, as I have yet to see a Madea movie).
Now, seeing this poster got me wondering what other grossly inaccurate posters are out there? Posters that do a terrible job of representing the film they're championing, whether through gross incompetence by the designer, or straight up lying by the marketing team.
This could be fun.
I know, I know, it's an awesome poster, for sure. But we're not talking about bad posters, we're talking about misleading ones. Look how fucking hot Leia looks! Her dress tarp is NEVER torn during the movie, I can assure you. Look how buff Luke is! Almost enough to get me to stop looking at Leia. But where the hell is Han? And why is the Death Star lit up like a Brite Lite?
No sequel? Bullshit motherfuckers.
This poster misleads you into thinking this movie might be good.
While not neccesarily mis-leading (I'm breaking my own rules fast), so many sci-fi and adventure movie posters that used art had the same problem: the film could just never, never be as awesome as the art promised. Here's another example:
Look for a post later devoted to this particular subject. And finally:
Look at the size of that fucking jeep. Godzilla's foot was nowhere NEAR this big in the movie.
