/film really said it all just with their headline last night – “Are The New ‘X-Men: First Class’ Posters the Worst Studio-Released Posters of the Year So Far?”.
I think we have to agree. I’m sure director Matthew Vaughn does too. He’s already lambasted the 20th Century Fox marketing department for that badly photoshopped, Power Rangers style, cast ensemble piece from a few weeks back and now he must be going out of his bloomin’ mind that somebody at Fox not only came up with the initial idea & designed this piece of retarded shite, but that another person gave it the OK to be finalized and shown to their masses via their official facebook.
Seriously, if you haven’t seen these yet, you can’t comprehend how bad they are…


Note to the Fox intern who created this poster – next time, don’t claim you have mutant powers by closing your eyes when using photoshop to design a film poster to try and impress the pretty girl who sits in the corner office. These posters make those boring posters from last week seem like Van Gough masterpieces.
What were Fox thinking?
What a floating head disaster!
X-Men: First Class is suffering from a huge identity crisis right now. Let’s hope Fox sort themselves out ahead of that June release.

wow. that is just horrendous. how is this possibly reflective of a multimillion dollar marketing campaign?
ANYBODY with photoshop can do better than the noob level of photoshop demonstrated here.
I second the wow. These aren’t posters; they’re just IDEAs for posters, their potential quite unrealised. Embarrassing.
These are beyond awful. If I handed these into my old 8th grade Design & Illustration teacher she would have give me a C- at best.
The coffin nails just keep getting hammered into this First Class mess… Ugh. As of this moment, the only thing that makes me want to see this POS is Jennifer Lawrence.
The images are ill-conceived, poorly executed and thoroughly disappointing. Seems to fit perfectly with Vaughn’s work.
Come on, did anyone really expect this thing to not be a fiasco from start to finish? Hell, if you think the posters stink just wait until you see the movie!
Hate to say “I told you so…”
