Attention journalists: free 2011 movie poster quotes!

Ali

2nd January 2011

A new year brings news blockbusters, and with new blockbusters comes the annual journalistic jockeying for poster space. Get the jump on the competition with these handy, cut-out-and-keep poster quotes for 2011's biggest movies. You're welcome, Alan Frank!

Green Lantern



This year's biggest superhero movie offers some prime poster real estate. Remember: it's a universe-spanning adventure, so keep it simple, something along the lines of...

"
"
"Ryan Reynolds is out of this world!"
Failing that, try a play on the word lantern. Audiences love that stuff.

"
"
"It'll light up your life!"
If all else fails, colour pun. COLOUR PUN.

"
"
"It's easy seeing Green!"
Or something.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides



This one's easy: just re-use the lines you used when Pirates 2 and 3 came out. For example, perhaps Sir would like...

"
"
"Jack's back and better than ever!"
If you're looking for something a little more sophisticated, perhaps play up the pirate angle a little more. It's a bit US-centric, but how about...

"
"
"Rated Arrrr!"
Too highbrow? Simplify.

"
"
"Yo-ho-ho and a barrel of fun!"
Remember all these when Pirates 5 is released.
Thor



Tricky one, this. Marvel's Thor is an untested property, set in the twin worlds of Viking heaven Asgard and Earth's mortal realm. After a lot of thought, we'd go for...

"
"
"It's hammer time!"
You know, because Thor carries a hammer. Alright, if you're going to be sniffy about it, try this on for size....

"
"
"There's Norse stopping it!"
Too clever, we know. Fuck it: just use this one before Nuts magazine gets there first.

"
"
"Thuper!"
Oh, and give it 10/10. Obviously.
Captain America: The First Avenger



It's another superhero movie, so you'll have to be careful you don't use up all your A-grade stuff on Thor. Luckily, Captain America has the word 'America' in it. So...

"
"
"God bless Captain America!"
Or...

"
"
"Five stars (and stripes!)"
If you're feeling particularly saucy, you might want to reference the (sure-to-be) outstanding performance of Oscar-nominee in-waiting, Chris Evans.

"
"
"Evans above... It's an American beauty!"
Don't be tempted: there's plenty of room to refer to Chris Evans as 'no, not that Chris Evans' in your full review.
Sucker Punch



Who cares about the content: them's fighting words!

"
"
"It's a knockout!"
And so on. It's actually about six infeasibly sexy nutters in short skirts who journey to magical worlds of ninjas, dragons and giant robots in their minds. So, you know...

"
"
"Girl power! These ladies pack one hell of a punch!"
Don't over think it. What would TalkSport Magazine say? They'd say, 'Yes of course we'll give you five stars! Have a glowing review quote!'

"
"
"Sucker punch will blow you away!"
Also: 'Sucker' rhymes with 'Fucker'. Just saying.
Red Riding Hood



"
"
"It's all good in the hood!"
No need to thank me.
Transformers: Dark Of The Moon



Simple robot puns won't do any more - you need to dream a little bigger. This one's set on and around the Moon, so may I suggest...

"
"
"Sheer lunar-cy!"
I know, right? Inspired! I just looked up in the night sky and there it was! Try also...

"
"
"Trans-formidable!"
No need to see the film first: we can guarantee the following quote will be 100% accurate.

"
"
"Total Bay-hem! The most explosive Transformers yet!"
I'll start writing the four-star review now, shall I?
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part II



An epic cinematic event deserves an epic poster quote. This one took me all night, so someone had better take it. Use it wisely.

"
"
"You say Hallows, we say goodbye!"
That took a lot out of me. The following sounded good at 3 in the morning.

"
"
"It's Potter-rific!"
I'm spent. I found this one behind the sofa.

"
"
"Simply wand-erful!"
That'll do. It's Harry bloody Potter.
The Smurfs



COLOUR PUN.

"
"
"Blue'll love it!"
COLOUR PUN.

"
"
"It blue me away!"
COLOUR PUN.

"
"
"Blue is the colour!"
You've earned that £50,000 a year.
Fast Five



Cars! Sweet, beautiful automobiles! Here's some four-wheeled wordplay for the lazy journalists willing to sniff Paul Walker's exhaust pipe.

"
"
"Vroom with a view!"
Did you know Vin Diesel is in this? Because he is.

"
"
"Diesel power! His fastest and most furious yet!"
Warning: the following review quote will make you sound like a dick.

"
"
"Wheely great!"
Good work, everyone. Take five! You've made a difference today! I hope to see these babies on bus stops within months!
