There be mermaids on this new Pirates of the Caribbean Poster!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Although my days as being labeled AICN's crusty seaman are behind me (minus an "ahoy" here or there, of course), I still drag out the brittle captain's hat and salty language from time to time. Since spotting mermaids off the bow of the Orca this morning I figured it was a righteous occasion!
Speakin' as a Captain, I gotta say it looks like Ol' Jack had his balls clipped a little judging from the early trailers, but I hold out hope for my fellow buccaneer as I haven't disliked a Pirates film yet... maybe felt "meh", but not "I hate this."
I dig the old maritime art feel to this new mermaids poster, though. Very dynamic, sexy and thank God not a bunch of floating heads. What say you, scabs?

Will definitely watch, but I was 'meh' about the 2nd and 3rd movies...
-
...for the cover of a Molly Hatchet album or painted on the side of a van! No, seriously, love the treasure and the skulls on the rock. The Little Mermaid this 'aint. Can't wait for May 20th.

Speaking of crusty semen, I'm digging this poster a lot.

I'm betting this is the first and last time anyone sees this poster
by Spielbergs Furious Racism
No faces and no names equals no sales! Seriously, it's a shame this is what they do with a poster like this- I love me some classy posters but this thing looks like shit. Terrible placement. Would much rather see what some idiot on slashfilm comes up with with nothing but MS paint and no friends.
-
In the interest of showing zero side boob the artist has made that top mermaid's head twist round like an owl. But I guess maybe mermaids can do that?
-
It would really be great if movies had posters like this that we could buy and hang in a row to make a giant banner...I'd imagine this one being the ride side end. Its fine by itself but other than maybe kick ass i don't think there were others that felt like you could hang them together.

I like my mermaids descaled, if you know what I'm sayin'...

Gotta be.
-
Perhaps the poster makers have been reading the talkbacks lately or something?
-
I just wish I knew how to fuck them.
-
Brings it back to the traditional myth that mermaids, rather than doing song and dance numbers "undah da sea" got their kicks by luring sailors underwater with kisses and promises of much more...then letting them drown. Seriously, I like it. Like someone above already posted, this ain't Little Mermaid.

get me some tartar

Can suck me down to the eery depths anytime she wants..

Better than the previous posters. Would be so much better if it was an actual piece of ARTWORK and not GCSE grade photoshop.

"Would be so much better if it was an actual piece of ARTWORK and not GCSE grade photoshop." In regards to the previous posters, not this one.

More like strategically placed long, lovely hair. This is a PG-13 flick, you know.

Disney needs to get Struzan to do a one-sheet bringing it all together
by darthderp
And I mean, NOW.
-
Of the talkbacks. Talk about crazy.
-
With the fish-parts on top and the lady-parts on the bottom?
-
You know you do.

So don't question CHOPPAH or you'll get CHOPPED.

Yeah, what is up with that?

PR departments need to star hiring artists
by Judge Dredds Dirty Undies
not graphic designers. Coz the anatomy in this is FUCKED. I like the poster as an idea but the execution is terrible and there is no excuse for that. There are plenty of very talented artists out there that need work. Almost every poster for big movies these days is an affront to the eyes.

i'll take the redhead in the middle. she can live my bathtub anyday

This poster is "Meh" and that's mermaid language for...
by JethroBodine
"Meh"

Yahoo Entertainment said that they will be working on #5 shortly... Pretty cool... I love these movies... Growing up as a Star Wars fan... I was 7 years old when Star Wars came out... I like these Pirates movies over Star Wars now... I can only watch Star Wars and Empire these days...

Jennifer Connelly Angie Everhart and a blonde (!) Jennifer Lopez?

C'mon guys. Poster is shit by the way..

it's the three brides of Dracula from Van Heilsing.

I would like this poster if the painting were done better.
by Frank Conniff
Couldn’t they get a more skilled artist? The mermaids’ faces look unnatural. At least it’s a different sort of poster than we usually see. I hope they add some mermaid tits in the extended edition.

There goes my 'does the carpet match the drapes' inquiry.

Looks like they painted the bodies/heads and photoshopped on faces
by ShiftyEyedDog
Something doesn't quite look right - the faces don't quite seem right.

I've tried to watch At World's End three or four times.

I've fallen asleep every time. I still can't make it to the end. No interest in any more Jack Sparrow.

Redhead looks like Ariel, the brunette like a Kardashian...
by D.Vader
And the 3rd looks a bit like Beyonce. Nice.
-
it looks like a 3 year old did it!
-
sound like somoene has a crush on Johnny Depp.
-
Can't see how it possibly couldn't.
-
so basically we get 2 1/2 hours of mermaid tits being blocked by their hair. thats a new one.
-
where he top half looks like a fish and her bottom half looks human
-
Ummm, no. Those three sisters (I'll include the mother, too) are some of the skankiest looking women I've ever laid my eyes on. No attractive qualities whatsoever. These three mermaids? I wouldn't kick them out of my pool...

Mister Mango on my shoulder....

Is Vader's "Nooooo" any worse than Luke's "Nooooo" in ESB??
by darthwaz1
seriously..watch them both again...both are laughable.
-
God, when will they learn not to do this without at least some basic understanding of anatomy.
-
... are twisted halfway around. Those talented mermaids.
-
half as long as the others. LOL this is hilarious!!!
-
Halfway up on her back as well. Classic PS fail.
-
They seem positioned in a way that suggests they should be watching the awesome battle going on with the ships in the background. Instead of watching the action it's almost like some photographer yelled "HEY GIRLS!", they turned around, he snapped their pic and we ended up with this weak poster.
-
Not a big fan of the style here, but I'm pretty pumped about this movie. Now that they've shed the Will/Elizabeth baggage from the series, I think this franchise has breathing room to kick ass again... even if the poster is less than exciting.
-
I've seen better work from amateurs at DeviantArt.
-
I smell fish.
-
Harlequin artwork, man. Jesus.
-
....though they did have Ariel sporting no bottom in The Little Mermaid.
-
bring it on!
