Some of the posters featured here promote films that were well received by both critics and audiences, while other posters far outdo the middling films they set out to promote. Regardless of the end result, each of these posters demonstrated impressive artistic talent and vision.
Read on for the most eye-grabbing, stunning, and persuasive movie posters of this year.
