Poster for Tom Hardy’s ‘Legend’ goes viral by hiding bad review

A new poster for Legend, the new Tom Hardy film about the Kray brothers, is going viral and it has nothing to do with Hardy’s good looks. Instead, it’s because of the clever placing of a two-star review.

After the London premiere, a new poster was revealed, showing off all the glowing reviews for the film, which stars Hardy as both Ronald and Reginald Kray. In between the two Hardys, there’s two stars from a Guardian review and it looks like the the figures are hiding the rest of the stars. Clearly, the film’s publicity team wouldn’t put a negative review on a poster...right?

Wrong. The Guardian’s Benjamin Lee really did give the movie only two stars (out of five). Lee pointed out the placing of his review on Twitter himself.

Lee’s tweet is up to 10,500 retweets and 8,700 favorites.
