Are The New ‘X-Men: First Class’ Posters The Worst Studio-Released Posters Of The Year So Far?

The new domestic posters are the black and white silhouettes. I actually like the silhouette concept, but it almost seems like some marketing exec demanded they must somehow include the faces of stars James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender on the one-sheet (even though they clearly don’t fit). Also, please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Official Plot Synopsis:
X-MEN FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
