Terrible Terminator Salvation poster
I prefer the one I had hanging in my bedroom for years,
So true. The top poster is so bland and uninspired you could walk by it 1000 times and never once notice it. The Arnold one immediately grabs you with the cool sunglasses, leather jacket and badass gun. Then the bright red lines against the black backdrop draw you to the center.
The top one is the boilerplate "big faces" shtick that action movies have gotten saddled with since the last decade. The terminator face in the middle makes it even more of a joke. Might as well be a muppet, for how serious that looks.

The top one is like "Duh?"
