Super X Poster Fun

Compare this one with the X3 one in the previous post.

Someone's been lazy with their poster designs.

It's even more amusing since this is the film that Bryan Singer ditched X3 to do, taking a couple of the guys who co-wrote the X2 screenplay with him. (Who are we kidding, X2 was all Singer so there isn't going to be a lot in common between X2 and X3 in terms of vision and composition.)

For some reason, poster design fro super hero movies seems to be a completely different discipline than poster design for other movies.

In point of fact, the stripped down almost minimalism (which dates back to the first Batman movie?) is a nice breath of fresh air compared to most movie pinups, but somehow the pairing with the genre is a bit odd. It seems like an overdramatic mid-combat shot a la 70s superhero comics would be more apt.
