We’ll start with the good one first: The new Terminator poster. Like the other Terminator Salvation images and posters, this one is pretty cool. In it, we see head of a destroyed Terminator unit being held by a resistance fighter – finally a poster that shows something positive for the good guys!

Next we have Crank which is just Jason Statham on a yellow background. That’s it. This particular poster interestingly was first revealed through Lionsgate’s Twitter account.

I’m not excited for the Crank sequel and if I was, perhaps this poster would be pretty cool. I barely enjoyed the first one and ...

If you’re not familiar with the story of Tony Stark (aka Iron Man), in the comics he wore a chestplate that required period recharging to keep him alive as well.

So I’m kidding about the Tony Stark thing… but that was the first thought that popped into my head when I read the description for Crank 2: High Voltage in which Statham’s character:
