Some nice conclusions: The teaser poster campaign for "SPECTRE" must have been the most extensive poster campaign ever for a Bond film. Already in December 2014 we got our very first teaser poster, which I personally consider the best Craig-era teaser after the one from "Casino Royale".
I do love the international posters in which Bond wears a colonial white dinner jacket. Absolutely stunning, and finally....finally....007 can put a smirk on his face :-).
but seriously.. this latest batch of poster and banners is an improvement over what we got a week or so ago.... would still like to see 1 more official one that teases us with a little more than just Dia De Los Muertos.

I really like these latest editions to the poster campaign for Spectre. Simple, yet effective.
I think this one is my favourite of the lot. White jacket. Gun at ready. Beautiful girl. Bond is back!
I look at this part of the poster first every time I see it yet have no real issue with it in the other variants though in the navy blue suit version Bond isn't casting any real shadow on Léa and so looks very obviously photoshopped to me,
Lazy oh yes, but it's designed to be looked at only for a few seconds I'm afraid.
Nothing new, except the addition of the title song and release date at the bottom.
Still love this poster :-). So utterly stylish. Love the simplicity. Best photography of the Craig-era of film posters so far.
You love this poster too @Germanlady?
I am not huge fan of the posters in the Craig era. I am sure there are kids in front of their computer with passion for making posters or whatnot, that would make amazing SPECTRE posters if they were employed by MGM.
Seriously...what's stopping you from making great poster ? It's not like they spend a lot of money on it, or if the quality of the poster increases they'll have to increase the budget for it...
My bet is that there were some cool posters but some higher ups with no sense of reality and how people think said "Hm...these posters are cool...but they are too retro...we need something modern so kids will love it..you know..put some skeleton masks in the back..." I am pretty sure that's what it is...from everything I've read about Hollywood studios this is their way of thinking, not realizing that whatever they'll offer people will like it. Seriously some normal average people should be employed in the studios... but ok now I'm just ranting :D
That's true. I know some brilliant graphic artists who just need a shot at something like this. Most of their work is so much better than a lot of what is being produced by studios these days. It's not just Bond, I think posters in general have been in a creative decline over the last decade or so.
That had so much variety to it, which I loved.
I'd say everything about that film has impressed me unlike any other movie I've seen in the last few years, from the film itself to the promotional work and how insane and eye-catching the trailers were.
Which he managed to accomplish wonderfully, and any other color (or lack thereof) really stood out beautifully, too: the white outfits that the wives wear, or the flare explosions in the sky.
Very true. It's because the well-oiled Hollywood machine seeks to squeeze every last dollar out of a production. Creativity sits neatly behind profit. The designers themselves will doubtless have much more interesting concept art, but divs in suits know what makes them the $$$ and don't give a damn about invention. Someone else can do that and then the leeches can exhaust the new trend for every $ as and when they don't make it happen.
Agreed
Love this one above. Does anyone know if it's official or fanmade? Some real effort gone into it.
I was tempted to make a collage of all of the Mad Max posters that are available to buy on Amazon but I don't think I could afford all of them!
I do like that better than the official version but I agree with @RC7 that depth is an issue with the image from the get-go. However the colours are definitely much better, @Gustav.
I don't care about dynamic. Your example is from that first publicity picture made of Craig in Sölden. And although I like it, it's for me not stuff for a Bond poster. Craig looks too much like Jason Bourne or any other American action figure. It even reminds me of Ethan Hunt's side-shot on the "Rogue Nation" poster.
What I love about that pose of Bond in a white tuxedo, is that it oozes "Bond" much more. Perhaps you think it looks like a cardboard cut-out, but I recall many classic Bond posters with that pose.
I'm not saying this should be the poster, I'm just suggesting it displays more dynamism. Replace the Solden Bond with the White jacketed Bond, switch the background to the train or wherever (Bond clearly in 'action') and I reckon you immediately have a better poster than the official one.
Sure, the white jacket is somewhat unique to Bond (and perhaps Indy) but one must use it in the proper context for it to be most effective....and I don't personally think the way they did it is contextual to the film.
I too would have liked a more 'action' oriented pose (that's why I commented before on the 'SF on the ground shooting poster'....because that was action oriented rather than pose oriented). I also like the one above from DeviantArt (as it suggests the action from the film, even if Craig himself is stationary).
