~Battle of the 2004/2005 Movie Posters~
 

So, This is my first post here. I've lurked for quite a while, and have now decided to come out of the shadows. Anyways, Here's the rules of the game. I will post 2 movie posters. You vote on the poster, (not the movie). It will stay up till 11 votes have been reached. Which ever poster wins, goes on to the next round. Everyone understand? Good.

Round 1

Alexander
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/153/988899.jpg

vs.

Saw
http://www.cinescape.com/multimedia/...vies291926.jpg

The poster for "Saw" didn't load

It works in Firefox, but not in IE . . . Hmm, Let me see what I can do.

dosn't work in firefox either, must be a problem with the picture...nevermind it workd

And SAW is the more bad ass of the two

1 VOTE FOR SAW

How about now?

Works great. I'm not watching Alexander because it is derivative, and right on the Achilles heel of Troy.

My vote goes to Alexander despite my dissapointment.

It works now, thanks for fixing. I'm voting for Saw cause Angelina looks like a monkey in that picture.

SAW.

The poster for Alexander is just to boring.

I vote for SAW. That movie is going to rock. Fuck Alexander with Colin Farrell and his no talent ass.

Saw, because it's competition is stupid and cliche.

Saw does seems like a cooler poster....so Saw I vote.

Saw

Ive been waiting for this movie for months... Finally seeing it on friday night

saw poster even though its gonna give me nightmares....

hehe..

I vote for Saw

Another Saw. The Alexander poster you can just remove the name and blur the faces and it is the poster for about ten different movies.

In a (10-1) Sweep, Saw kills Alexander.

Round 2~

Saw (1-0)

vs

Seed of Chucky
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/153/985875.jpg

the evil little bastard CHUCKY!

CHUCKY.

second coming... CLASSIC!

I'd vote, but 90% of the people on this thread are breaking the rules (voting for the movie instead of the poster). The SAW poster sucks.

-Lasereth

I vote Saw, good sig line.

I'll vote CHUCKY.....for President!

Is that an option? ;)

I vote for Chucky because the poster for Saw just looks like some kid with some old school braces.

Chucky! ''fear the second cumming'' funny

i vote for the chucky poster...

(although i'd rather see Saw... ha! See Saw? get it? no really, i think it'll be the better flick...)

I'm with Chucky. In the first round Saw was more imaginative, but Chucky blows him away in round 2.

i vote saw

I vote Chucky

Reminds me of Sistene Chapel

I still like Saw better, has a classic look.

On a side note, both movies are gonna suck old-school.

I think thats kinda what they're going for.

I vote SAW! The poster for this just hints at the premise of the film. Whereas a poster of Chucky tells me precisely how the film/makers intend on scaring me....

I vote for chucky....saw is way too boring for my taste

Saw. Chucky is good, with the Michelangelo thing going and all, but I still like the saw poster better.

Chucky defeats Saw(10-5)

Round 3

Chucky 1-0
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/153/985875.jpg

vs

National Treasure
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/153/988836.jpg

Saw really was better... oh well...

The national treasure poster is all about Nick Cage... Nothing really exciting there other than his fame and ego. Good for selling films but not good (IMO) for making a good looking poster.

Chucky makes a good pun with the reference to Michaelangelo...

Vote to Chucky

Hard to vote on these two as both are super sucky and suffer from Adobe Photoshop Lens Flare abuse.

The Nick Cage one is way too...cliche. The hero is shot from below and back-lit to provide some kind of drama I suppose.

Chucky just looks cheesy. Looks way to retro, maybe that's what they are going for, the 80's style horror movie wherein kids have sex at summer camp and get killed. Weak.

Chucky gets my vote here, but just barely, it's truely a battle of the mediocre.

Another vote for Chucky. Not because it's good, but because it's the better of the two. Sorta, the lesser of two evils...so to speak.

Chucky again....I cant stand looking at Nicholas Cage and all the lighting on that one is annoying

Chucky again.

I can't vote for National Treasure since it clearly is "Let's do a movie that's like Da Vinci Code, but not Da Vinci Code, you know what I mean?"

You aren't voting on the movie, or the premises. You are voting on strictly the poster

Chucky again. The other poster doesn't even suggest something interesting, although I believe the movie should be fairly exciting.

chucky wins hands down, much much better poster, put up Sin city with Jess Alba and then youll have a real contender

Chucky win unanomously

Round 4

Chucky 2-0
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/153/985875.jpg

vs

(as requested)Sin City
http://www.cinescape.com/multimedia/...vies291859.jpg

I can't see the Sin City poster.

maybe I can help...


<img src="http://www.impawards.com/2005/posters/sin_city_ver2.jpg">

i was able to see it by cutting and pasting the URL for the sin city poster into a new browser window. i vote for sin city.

Can you see it now?

sin city got my vote

Chucky still rules!!

The words 'sin city' doesn't look very sinful, does it. It looks.....Arial?

I'm leaning with Sin City. I like what they did with the face. Otherwise, it would be ordinary.

Even tho it's not the Jessica Alba version I am still voting for Sin City

You know . . . I looked around for the one with Jessica Alba and couldn't find one. Oh well. Sorry

It was the one I posted, but apparently they no-noed my hotlinky.

See if this one works:

<img src="http://www.empiremovies.com/images/posters/sin-city-jessica-alba.jpg">

Sin City all the way

I vote Sin City, it's got "cragzop".

how about this Sin City.
http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/pro...757.1020.A.jpg

Ahhh much better, my eyes feel nice and warm now.

between the chucky poster and the first sin city poster, sin city wins... but the second sin city poster is better than both of them...

Add another vote for Sin City, I like the vintage type look they have.

National Treasure looks like the tomb raider poster!

Definitely Sin City, both the Sin City posters are dark, comic book with comic book fonts. I love the effect of the white paint mirroring the white hair spraying around in the Jessica Alba poster. I'm actually tempted to go find out more about the film as well...

I like where they are going with Sin City BUT... these aren't movie posters per se... they are really teaser posters... no credit block, etc.

That said... I have to go with Chucky.

Sin City - beautiful blonde everytime - even if she is wearing too many clothes !

Chucky get's taken out by Sin City 10-2

Battle #4

Sin City
http://www.cinescape.com/multimedia/...vies291859.jpg

vs

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/153/942491.jpg

1 for Blade Trinity. Wesley Snipes just looks badass.

Sin City

The Blade poster is neat and well done, but the first Sin City poster really captures the essence of Frank Miller's style.

i agree with Tophat665: sin city.

Though the SIN CITY poster screams Miller it just feels a little too slapped together and the layout seems off.

The Blade III poster has a very nice Photoshop glow to it and from what I hear about what happens to Blade in the film it feels very fitting.

Vote to Blade.

Blade, few things can beat a badass vampire. :)

I vote for Blade even though I think Blade is one of the most shallow characters ever. I like to poster's colors mostly but I don't really care much for the films.

Blade... it nails its demographic and leaves room for Wesley Snipes cross-over... Sin City is a little too niche in its reach... besides... BAD ASS VAMPIRES do rule.

blade gets my vote

I vote for the chucky poster. While National Treasure is a movie I intend to see, the poster is nothign special. Chucky's poster at least has a few jokes in it. "the second coming", michaelangelo touching god. Oh i think the alexander poster should have beat saw, hehe i know it's too late but the faded colors except the eyes and hair is kinda nice looking

The Sin City poster plays right into my comic book FanBoy bent. The Blade one is too... Snipes.

A vote for Sin City is the only smart vote today!

I'd vote for jessica alba sin city poster....hehe she's nice on the eyes... but Snipes has some cool sunglasses with the reflection of the city....so Marv vs Blade I vote blade

Blade looks nice but my vote still goes for sin city

8-3 The Badass Vampire took out Sin City,

Blade 1-0
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/153/942491.jpg

vs.

Elektra
http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/pro...118.1020.A.jpg

Blade, I mean that Elektra poster has some of the worst professional photoshopping I've ever seen!! Why does her Sai have to be shining? And why did they only use one Photoshop tool to do it?

VOTE TO BLADE!

Gotta go with Blade. The composition has a really good rhythym.

Blade Trinity.

cool thread btw :thumbsup:

thanks :cool:

Blade has my vote

i vote for blade

Funny, they are almost the same poster... I'd still go with Blade.

It has to be Blade as I agree entirely with Mr D about Elektra's really poor Photoshop work...

Try to jump start this thing . . . Blade wins unanomously . . . (only 7 total votes)

Balde

Star Wars Episode 3: The Revenge of the Sith
http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/pro...459.1020.A.jpg

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Blade for sure.

hate to say but... Blade.

I can't stand how hokey the cape flowing into Darth Vader's helmet looks.

I think Episode 3 will be better than Blade: Trinity but so far Blade's poster is better.

Blade.

A note for Mr. Lucas: Spring for a graphic designer. You're wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice, yet you still let your eight year old do your publicity? That's beyond sad.

Blade for the win!

Blade. Although the EpIII poster is a bold move. It is highly stylized and will be made fun of.

Actually it is already being made fun of huge. They're saying that Lucas will owe royalties to Mel Brooks.

A vote for Blade

Blade is still better. :D

blade.
the star wars poster sucks!

Gotta be Blade... badass Vampire beats whiny petulant Jedi

Blade for sure.

Can Blade lose? 10-1

Blade (2-0)

vs

Spongebob Squarepants
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/153/969472.jpg

Lol...BLADE!

Sorry, I just really can't stand Sponge Bob Squarepants, so I'm still sticking with Blade.

Spongebob

There's something about a large yellow rectangle with little bitty eyes in the center. Justy silly.
