This looks absolutely atrocious

 

[Daubt]

I'm sorry, I laughed heartily at this, but some one liked it to okay it.

 

[tono06]

So that means the French would be same?

 

[JGCramp]

Yes, it’ll be the same. I put a preorder in a Fnac before the artwork was revealed. I will most certainly be cancelling. That’s just awful.

I’m giving up with steelbooks now. I wouldn’t have bought the movie anyway but that is utter s***

 

[BDDB]

I only saw this for the first time recently, always wanted to see it from the video cover when I was a kid.
Relived I saw it before this waste of space came out as I may have been tempted.

an orca has died when they greenlit this artwork

 

[spookz]

God, has this been done by someone in the same primary school class as the one who designed "Cocaine Bear"? And I'm expected to exchange money for this!!!!

 

[Lord Vader]

Thing is, that art doesn't look too bad on the canvas looking amaray version imo. Against that plain blue backdrop though.. yeah, no

It's good to see MS Paint isn't completely dead yet.

It's good to see MS Paint isn't completely dead yet.

It’s still available in Windows 11!

It's by Francesco Francavilla, ordinarily one of my favorite poster and comic book artists. Not sure what happened here.



For example, here's one of my favorite posters of his, for The Third Man:

HMV sold out already?

The groundbreaking announcement that "the blue water will be metallic" must have whipped people into a buying frenzy.
