If they were going for that straight to video look, they succeeded admirably

I thought it looked very much in line with the Mission Impossible posters. Wouldn't surprise me if it was the same people.

I never make a decision on seeing a movie based solely on a poster. Is it really that important unless you were totally ignorant about a movie?

I really liked the first movie and the trailer looked great, so I'm in.

Screw the poster, which looks fine to me. I loved the first one so I'm there.

The poster is still better than the first movie's poster which was nothing more than a picture of Tom Cruise.

At least it was him in profile on the poster. Any old-timers remember that discussion?

Man, that poster really makes me want to give Tom Cruise some Tums.

Agreed. Unless it's a movie poster with actors I would never see at the theaters, I don't remember being deterred from seeing a movie based solely on a movie poster.

Having said that, I don't think there are too many great movie posters anymore. I hardly bother to look at them at the theater anymore because they don't grab me like they used to.

Not a good poster... the standard profile Cruise shot probably would've been better. But yeah, posters probably have much less of an impact these days...

Who cares about the poster? (And it's a decent poster, anyway. Nothing great, but a good, solid, standard issue movie poster.) The poster is never indicative of the quality of the movie...

The trailer is awesome and the first movie was great - that's all I need to know to go see this on the opening weekend!

I think trailers matter more now than a goddamn fucking poster. The poster could have a picture of dex14 taking a shit on concrete but I'd still see this film cuz of the first film and the trailer for this film.

I'm sure that part will be cut from theatrical release, but on the extended blu ray cut. Supervised by Zack Snyder cause he's used to editing shit.

Those are much better posters.

Curious to see how this turns out, the first was unintentionally humorous (and occasionally intentionally), wonder if Zwick will continue that trend.

Cobie is so fucking fine. Did you guys see her yesterday or the day before at the premiere in Louisiana? Man, what a bod.




Not necessarily a fan of the dress but them legs, though.

No Tom Cruise movie is actually ever THAT bad. Even ones that aren't great are serviceable.

True. Besides Knight and Day, can't remember a Cruise movie I didn't like...

I didn't love it, but didn't dislike Knight and Day. Not a big fan of Diaz but the movie itself was a typical quickie Cruise vehicle. I give it a spin every once in a while.

I just watched the first "Jack Reacher" for the first time tonight...don't know what took me so long, since I'm a Tom Cruise fan AND it was filmed in my hometown. Anyway, I really liked it. I'm not planning on waiting four years to see the sequel.

I loved the first movie, but the trailers for this movie are not making look as solid. I am not a fan of the director Ed Zwick and pretty sure he has produced another weak movie. It also looks rather too similar in story to the first movie.

I will probably end up going to see it in case they managed to produce something similar to the first movie, and i truly hope it is. But i have my doubts.
