Movies carry us away to fantastical worlds, but the journey begins with super-vivid poster-art. The best movie posters are an art-form all their own... but sometimes, it's the art of deception. Here are the most misleading posters of all time.

Welcome back to Monday Hate, an irregular column in which we hate things because it's Monday.

Oh, and before we get started, a bit of a disclaimer — obviously, there's a lot of creative license that goes into movie posters, and sometimes the coolest looking posters are the ones that don't exactly depict what's happening in the movie. With that in mind, some of our candidates for "most misleading poster" might be just slightly tongue-in-cheek, and we're celebrating the awesomeness of poster art as well as its potential for false advertising. Oh, and there are going to be a few DVD covers in the mix too, including a couple of hilarious bootlegs. With that out of the way, here we go!
