guy-looking-at-big-things-ism
at first glance they all look the same, but The Dark Knight Rises is the only different one because there’s no guy there, just a batman logo-shaped hole.
Grandious depressive silhouettes
Reminds me of the poster for “The Thing”
boring
Late 2000’s/early 2010s big budget action/sci-fi action poster? All of those movies sans battleship are pretty good.
Small dude BIG PROBLEM! lmao
Bad ass
Meat Lover’s
Gangnam
Rip offs.
I’m not an expert but it follows a painting pattern Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer, from Caspar David, showing a solitary figure contemplating an imposing landscape.
In this case, the views are replaced by a dystopian landscape, destroyed or annihilated by a major force. There’s a mix of surrealism and abstraction but it’s difficult to judge.
„ the same“ style
movie big
Generic.
Nouveau unoriginal
5/6 are referencing “Wanderer on the sea of fog”
Man against the world
(I’m pretty sure this is the actual answer btw)
edit: I should point out, the top comment is also correct, its two versions of the same idea. Small dude big problem is the funner version of saying it.
Uninspired big cataclysm grey ass catastrophic background seen from the back of the generic af protagonist kind of poster
One hero faces odds that no other man could hope to defeat.
“I need to pee”
I believe it’s one of the fettucinis.
Batman one doesn’t fit with the rest.
“BWAAA” style. Named after the accompanying obligatory base drop sound effect.
Oh man. Into Darkness.
Hey JJ, is Cumberbatch playing Khan?
No. Absolutely not no no no no no. He is not Khan.
*Is Khan*
Aren’t you all glad I let you enjoy the most obvious surprise in my career! Man I kill myself with my god tier misdirects!!
Exaggerated perspective.
I’ve always loved the Batman one. It really isn’t the same as the others.
Trading on collective post-9/11 trauma
I Googled ‘art style person facing away background’ (lmao) and got the Wikipedia [page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderer_above_the_Sea_of_Fog) for the painting called Wanderer above the Sea of Fog. It mentions the ‘Rückenfigur’ and ‘subliming’ devices…so ‘subliming Ruckenfigur’? It’s a lead, anyway.
Arguably, high concept. High concept movies are broadly defined by a simplistic premise that can be given in a single setence.
Battle LA… Military vs alien invasion.
The Raid … Cop trapped in a crime infested building.
Inception… Forgot to pay for the city’s water.
By contrast, we used to have posters that sold the actors as movie stars, or at least the characters (think of the Shutter Island poster, showing a paranoid looking Leo, or Star Wars posters that had your favorite moments of each prominent character). These posters given here are selling the concept, not the actors or the character… Even stars as big as Bale and Leo aren’t the emphasis in their respective marketing here.
These are typical “Hero Templates” a protagonist in front of ominous backgrounds. The poster for the 1927 sci-fi classic Metropolis was designed by German artist Heinz Schulz-Neudamm. May have been the first of this kind of style for films.
