Do you smell what the Rock has stepped in?

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island". This week's five points of the poster are:

1) It looks here like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is having second thoughts about appearing in this movie poster. We're sure they told him that it would be for a children's movie and it would be easy, like the poster shoot for The Tooth Fairy. He'll look like a dork, but it'll be over with quickly. Then they brought in the giant lizard... Doesn't he also have that look on his face that says he may have just stepped in a mystery substance? Poor, Dwayne...

2) These are funny looking rocks. Or are they supposed to be eggs? Could you imagine getting a hold of one of those eggs? What an omelette one could make! Wonder if they would be any good... Anyhow, while giant eggs are kinda interesting, I'm not sure if they're "Mysterious". After all, this is the movie poster shoot for "Journey 2: The MYSTERIOUS Island". If you only saw the eggs, I can see how it might be a bit mysterious, but after you see the giant lizard the giant eggs are actually not that unexpected.

3) Giant lizards are always a nice touch on any movie poster. The hardest part is usually getting the permits to have one on location and then not allowing it to eat any of the actors.

4) Child actors really need to take their craft more seriously. These two can't even convince me that they are actually running. Why would anyone run in the tiny cracks between the eggs? If one was really running for their lives wouldn't you run on top of the eggs? Oh, the kids today...

5) 3D... If we had a dime for every movie poster that had 3D on it. We've said it once, we'll say it again, 3D is no longer so cool that it will help sell your movie. Now if your movie had "Smell-o-vision" then that would be something! Could you imagine if the kids in the theatre could, "smell what The Rock was cooking?" Likely to be a big pot of giant lizard stew, I'll bet that would smell wonderful with some onions, peppers and cajun spices...

In conclusion, based on this thorough analysis we predict that "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" will gross $20 million in its opening weekend (Mostly because The Rock is in the movie poster).
