That's one of the worst posters I've ever seen. Cheap, tacky, badly composed, Photoshop trash. Looks like a porno parody.

I agree. That DAD poster is shockingly bad, which was fitting for the film it belonged to.

I too am against Bond smoking. He should be focused on more moral endeavours such as mowing people down with machine guns.

Smokers pollute the air, too. They're causing global warming. They must be stopped.

Bond 24 should focus on this.

This one always says 'Bond' to me.

Although I do like the stylish black and white.

Very 1960's. Reminds me of the Lazenby shoot in front of Big Ben.

yes very retro
black and white is usually used to suggest back to basics / gritty / old school
which is what Craig Bond is often promoted as being
personally I think a James Bond poster should always be full of colour
because James Bond is not a "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold" type of story

But maybe the retro look stands out better against all the other film posters?

Found this gem on nuMI6:

What.

The.

Fuck?

If it's a parody of the shitty "Ooh! A new promotional image! Let me add a SKYFALL logo with MS Paint, and it's a poster!" school of thought, then it's hilariously brilliant.

But I suspect it might be by the same guy who decided to make a fan film out of various Bond video games, casting Wesley Snipes in the role with the plot focusing on a gang of corrupt cops in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco who turn California and Nevada into a haven for criminals by allowing the Russian army to invade ... which means this poster is still hilarious.

Better than most of the Skyfall posters, actually. The Dalton-dick is a nice touch.

"Mony Mony by Billy Idol"

Not sure if I like the there-for-no-apparent-reason flower or the Dalton-shaped boil that Craig seems to have on his hip more .

fair point, but as mentioned by Python, there should still be a scantily clad woman, even if she's in black and white, as a mimimum requirement
this is James Bond after all

I was kidding of course. If any scantily clad women, I'd like that in a more colorful flamboyant poster, with Craig cracking a smirk.
