What Happened To The Art Of Movie Poster Design: Rambo: Last Blood

Wow, in the past week or so there's been a goldmine of horrible, horrible movie posters released. It's honestly hard to keep up with all the badness on display.

Like this one, for example. Hey look, it's another terrible Sylvester Stallone poster! This time it's for Rambo: Last Blood, a film whose title sounds like the Mad Magazine version of First Blood!

Let's begin with the most obvious problem. Did the photographer here not know how to focus his camera? That has to be the case, right? Surely no one would deliberately shoot the goddamned star of the movie out of focus, right? Did Sly see this and sign off on it? If so, maybe it's time for some new glasses.

I'm also fascinated by the obviously fake flame in the foreground, which appears to be consuming Sly. But hey, at least the fire's in crisp, sharp focus!

Lastly, take a look at the sad attempt at painting sparks above the flames with a Photoshop brush. At least I think those are supposed to be sparks flying above the conflagration. It's either that or the designer's cat pawed at his graphic tablet while he went to the kitchen for a cup of tea!
