I liked it the way I liked those theme park rides where you sit in front of a screen and your chairs move around. It was entertaining as hell despite the story being pretty stupid, and the action was pretty bad ass. Cameron is usually pretty great at handling action. I almost threw up all over myself though when I realized that even the fucking SUBTITLES were in Papyrus.

P.S. ERS: 2000$ for an original font? Add a zero and we can start working

Looking, at the poster, I believe it’s time to put a ban on Trajan too. This is a widely overused font in the movie business.
Apart from that, your article rocked. I watched in awe as the ugly Papyrus-like fonts appeared on the screen. Actually, for the sake of seeing this font on the movie poster, I wouldn’t have gone to watch it if I hadn’t been invited to it.

i could not agree more. i mean, this is literally my favorite movie of all time, it cost like 20 billion dollars, and they slap the oh-so rugged, extremely anti-war, wanna-be hippie, au-naturel font that should be used for the cover of a 6th grader’s early-humans research report, an “I LOVE WHALES” bumper sticker, or the ink-jet-printed cover of an illegally copied movie for “THE GOLDEN COMPASS” at a movie store on the last scene of the movie in flourescent green letters (by the way a why is that green? i mean the whole theme of the movie is blue, isn’t it?!) They could at least spend an extra 2,000 dollars coming up with an original font.

Not only does the font look EXACTLY like Papyrus, it’s clearly based on it too. Look how the contours of the V follow the jagged edges of Papyrus perfectly:
