It's tough to make a good poster.  There are contractual obligations, studio mandates, and you have to sell a movie in just one image.  If only it were as simple as any other product, but movie posters have to play by a different set of rules, and so before I run down fifty of the worst thus far, I do have some sympathy towards the people making them.

That being said, these posters go far beyond the normal sins of floating heads and blue-orange color schemes.  With these posters you'll see opportunities wasted, photoshop disasters, and bland design that makes for a total eyesore.  These are the kinds of posters that not only fail go gain attention; they repel interest.

50.) Jason Bourne

Right, his name is David Webb.  We went over this. We had a trilogy to go over this.  Bourne is great and all, but it doesn't give us chills, especially when you make sure to button up with a super-cool hashtag at the bottom.

49.) Ted 2

Witness the failings of a presumptive marketing campaign that assumed a bong and a popular character were enough to sell a sequel.

48.) On the Basis of Sex

I get that this poster is like, "She's taking on the establishment!" but it's a little too cutesy in its depiction, showing Felicity Jones as a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg dominating the court, which isn't really what Ginsburg did. Instead, she used the judicial system rather than upending to make progress, so having her chilling on the Supreme Court doesn't really work.

47.) Don Jon

Can we all promise from now on never to use "happy endings"?  It's not that the term is crass; it's just crass in a cutesy way.  Also, it's a pretty uninspired design for a film that has a fun kick to it.

46.) Passengers

This is a sci-fi movie that takes place in space. You won't know that from this poster, but aren't Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt good looking? Go pay money to see the pretty people.

45.) Beastly

If you're going to sell a Beauty and the Beast movie, showing the beast is kind of key.  Otherwise it's just Beauty and the Beauty.

44.) Yogi Bear

This poster just creeps me the hell out.

43.) Enough Said

If your poster is just an image from the movie, you need to work a little harder at your poster.

42.) Snatched

I like Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn, and they deserve a better poster than a red background and a weak tagline. Their movie takes place largely in the jungle! It's kind of an adventure! This poster could have been a lot better.

41.) Jonah Hex

"Revenge Gets Ugly".  Now let's cover up the ugly part of the main character's face.  Also, what is he firing?  Is it a gun or a crossbow?

40.) The Hangover: Part III

The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 posters were fine, but they weren't classics, and it's a little lame for Warner Bros. to self-reference (also, it's not like these two characters were epic enemies).

39.) Terminator Genisys

Again, it was a Hail Mary from Paramount to just go ahead and reveal what would have been a cool twist.  Instead, you get in a poster.

38.) Extraordinary Measures

Judging from the poster, Extraordinary Measures is the story of Siamese twins, and one who becomes suspicious of the other's airbrushed face.

37.) Taken 2

Here's a gigantic "2" in case you couldn't figure out this was the sequel to Taken.  You'd almost think his family had been kidnapped by digits.

36.) Stone

The story of three actors trapped in a title, and no way out.

35.) Gangster Squad

Think of all the cool things you could have done given the era and the genre, and this is the best they came up with.

34.) Tomorrowland

Did you know that this movie has a female protagonist?  You wouldn't from this poster, which feature George Clooney (which is fine; he's the biggest selling point) and the younger version of his character.  At some point, studios will realize that people with only X chromosomes see movies too.

33.) A Good Day to Die Hard

People like Die Hard, but what they really love is puns.  Yay, puns.

32.) Avengers: Age of Ultron

I understand that contractual obligations mean that people need to get on the poster, but I think this poster is a sign that the poster for Avengers: Infinity War is going to be a godawful mess, or some people are going to have to say, "You know what?  I'm good staying off this eyesore."

31.) Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

I know this poster is going for "solemn" but it looks like Jack Ryan is about to fall asleep on his own mission, which would be fitting because he is the dullest protagonist ever.
