10+ Movie Posters That Were Mocked For Ridiculous Photoshop Fails

Jessica Wilson

Movie posters are used to advertise upcoming films. Throughout cinema history, there are countless iconic posters that do a great job of catching huge attention. However, some hold viewers’ attention for completely wrong reasons. So, today we’ll mention Photoshop fails.
Due to designers and editors’ carelessness, the appearance of actors is changed, looking so weird. Characters are truly featured with exaggerated physical attributes. For example, they have abnormally long arms and fingers, female characters own incredibly thin waists, or superheroes can defeat the laws of physics. These mistakes sometimes create humorous visual effects and are entertaining for audiences to spot before movies’ release.
We've gathered some movies whose posters hilariously fail but still went viral.
