Movie Poster Roundup: MacGruber, Kick-Ass, Despicable Me, Toy Story 3, The Losers, Beastly
We've got a roundup of movie posters to bring you this morning. We have what I believe is the first poster for MacGruber, and the last of the Kick-Ass propaganda posters. We have a couple of Easter-themed poster of Despicabe Me and Toy Story 3, more like egg-themed. We also have a new poster for The Losers, which I feel bad for, considering when its trailer played in front of Clash of The Titans, it was near back-to-back with the new A-Team trailer, and just paled in comparison with disastrous tire-flattening results. Finally, we have a poster for the oh-so-terrible Vannessa Hudgens film, Beastly, a modern-day twist on Beauty and the Beast. I saw the trailer for this a month or two ago... and boy was it bad. Mary-Kate Olsen plays a witch (real stretch, I know.) But I can't believe NPH is in it though.
Anyway, check out the posters, and sound-off in the rant back section. The posters are paired with some info-riffic synopses, cast details, and release dates for you, if for some reason you can't locate the release date on the giant posters. Pssssst, it's the words and numbers that aren't the titles... shhhh.
MacGruber - Blurb Poster:
Official Synopsis:
Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy SEAL and Army Ranger. Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 presidential medals of bravery. And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet. In 2010, Will Forte brings Saturday Night Live’s clueless soldier of fortune to the big screen in the action comedy MacGruber.
In the 10 years since his fiancée was killed, special op MacGruber has sworn off a life of fighting crime with his bare hands. But when he learns that his country needs him to find a nuclear warhead that’s been stolen by his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer), MacGruber figures he’s the only one tough enough for the job.
Assembling an elite team of experts—Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) and Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig)—MacGruber will navigate an army of assassins to hunt down Cunth and bring him to justice. His methods may be unorthodox. His crime scenes may get messy. But if you want the world saved right, you call in MacGruber.

Synopsis:
Kick-Ass tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name...Kick-Ass who assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage).

He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal’s new 3-D CGI feature, Despicable Me. Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way.

The Losers - Stars and Stripes Poster:
Official Plot Synopsis:
An explosive action tale of betrayal and revenge, “The Losers” centers around the members of an elite Special Forces unit sent to the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. But the team—Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar—soon find that they have become the target of a deadly double cross, instigated from the inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Making good use of the fact that they are now presumed dead, the group goes deeply undercover in a dangerous plot to clear their names and even the score with Max. They are joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda, who is more than capable of scoring a few points of her own. Working together, when they’re not arguing amongst themselves, they have to stay one step ahead of the globetrotting Max—a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war for his own benefit. If they can take down Max and save the world at the same time, it’ll be a win win for the team now known as The Losers.
