2001 Internet Movie Poster Awards - Worst Blockbuster Nominees
|
Dr. Dolittle 2
Gigantic title, itty bitty actor. What exactly is this poster trying
to say? That having Eddie Murphy in the film is just a minor detail? That
having animals in the film is just a minor detail? I guess the letters
are all important. That's what I go to a movie to see - BIG
LETTERS! Yes, there is already a built-in audience of fans from
the first film so the title may be enough, but this poster is just downright
lazy. Imagine seeing JP3 taking up an entire poster and a wee little dinosaur
hiding in the corner. |

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
There is nothing wrong with the poster design per se, but there seems
to be something seriously wrong with the expression on Elijah Wood's face.
The other version of this poster, where his head is down, is much better.
Instead of holding the one ring in his hand, he just looks as if a bird
left some unwelcome droppings there. |

Ocean's 11
All bow down to the number eleven. We must worship the glorious number
eleven. Some people have raved about this poster, but I like my posters
to have a little content to them. So there's an eleven in the title of
the movie. Should that take precedence over everything else. Today's movie
is brought to you by George Clooney and the number eleven. |

Pearl Harbor
Of the dozen or so posters to come out for this film, this one seems
to be the worst. Actually, there seemed to be something seriously wrong
with all four of the posters fashioned after US WW2 propaganda posters.
This one, featuring Cuba Gooding, Jr. just seems to be the most inappropriate
of the bunch. |
|
Rush Hour 2
Jackie Chan's butt! How much would you pay to see that? This one just
seems to be insulting the audience. Yes, it is a teaser and they just show
enough of Chan so you can recognize from his back. (Of course it helps
that they put his name in huge letters over his head.) But once again,
we see a very lazy design for promoting a film. |
and the winner is...
