I can’t be the only one who finds the movie cover poster art to be terrible, and it looks like they didn’t try at all. It may sound silly but I avoided the movie mainly because of how the covert art looks.
I finally watched it after all these years and I loved it. I understand the “simplistic” approach but I’m sure they could have made a far better cover poster which would have garnered a lot more people.
I think the poster is an image taken from the comic series that this movie is based on. Here's a picture of one of the comic book covers -

And another one... https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/951989.jpg
As you can see, it's very similar to the movie poster.

I’m not familiar with the comic series or original source material but even those designs looked better and had more color. I’m sure they could have added more color in the background or something more attention grabbing.
