I going to go cry now...
I'm sorry, but that reeks of fanmade photoshop.
It just looks so...fake.
It's four character posters linked together. Still doesn't mean it doesn't stink. But, yeah, there's your explanation.
nicole is so gorgeous!
Yeah...well...
Nicole does look freakin amazing.
I kinda like it?
It's kinda busy, yeah, but I like it?
:shrug:
That is really ... bad. It would keep me away from the theater. This from a guy who admires the two stars and has read and loved the trilogy.
I saw it the other day and REFUSED to post it because I FUCKING HATE IT and am pretending IT DOESN'T EXIST.
Way to ruin my delusions, Glenn!!!
ahh...man, the first was awesome.
i guess i was sort of hoping for one with a similar style to the first to pop up, but with nicole or daniel as the centerpiece...
not a corner.
And the weird thing is I like the individual posters, yet hate, hate, HATE this. Too much of a thing?
I find it hard to hate cause it's just so damn pretty. I mean, look at everyone. Look how pretty the colors are. I dunno, I'm easily drawn in by the pretty.
But it would be much better as four individual character posters. Which is maybe where they're going with it eventually.
From Classy to Camp part II
X D
If by camp you mean crap then yes. YES IT IS!
The thing is, I'm not even sure they work as solo posters because they literally do just look like they designed the main one and then cut it up into quarters. I dunno.
It's a weird poster, isn't it? It's not even like the Narnia or LOTR ones that were cluttered with characters.
that's fucking horrendous. looks like a kid drew it, and does NOTHING to make me wanna see it
alright, an artistically talented kid, but it's just so, just, so, BUSY
