Why Did They Not Use This Poster?!?!?

Wow. Simply one of the coolest Indy posters ever. IMO this should have been THE poster for Crystal Skull. What do you all think?

That is lovely; great one.

Mind you, looking at that website; it's no wonder he's retiring- some properly crappy films in there (haven't even heard of most of them).

That poster is very good. With some other character around Indy could have been great, but I cannot complain of the one they used: that's very good too.

Ha at first I was thinking "poster" as in "one who posts..." Too much time on the Raven I guess. Maybe it's just deja vu, but I seem to remember seeing that the other day, can't remember where. Great work anyway. Makes me think of "Raiders" when he actually used his bullwhip every five minutes.

I love that one. I'm also a big fan of the one which has Indy swinging on the whip with the Ugha warriors in the background.

I must say that the posters for this film were great! It's a shame that the film itself did not live up to the hype. I almost wish I had never seen the film but instead just looked at the posters and wondered how great Indy 4 was.

I love the colors in this; they're so rich and warm. Very "old" Indy vibe but I'm not crazy about Harrison's stance. He appears very barrel-chested and stumpy.

I don't like this as a movie poster at all. Not that it isn't good, because it is. It's just that it seems more like a comic book or novel cover. I can't see it working as a proper movie poster.

Heh. True. I love the ones that just said "INDY" and "May 22" on 'em. Very cool. Wish the movie hadn't ruined the poster.

Regarding these two, I dunno. I think the first one looks kinda posed and fake. Not a very dynamic pose at all, like an aging Harrison is trying to strike an action pose, but his back is gonna cramp if he leans too far into it.

Heh! People can complain all they want about how the Indy team didn't bring their A-game to this movie, but a guy named Drew sure did.
