Image Sizes

Hi,
So I need a little clarification on image size, I have noticed that some images are not the correct size.
I'm pulling down the now playing list and the movie poster for Joy (w154) and Creed is a little smaller than the rest.
Is this a common issue with the posters?
Ive moved onto developing my app in Apache Cordova with Bootstrap and JavaScript and I'm seeing layout issues when the image is a little smaller or bigger, now I can force the height and width of the image to correct this but it causes addition issues with mobile phones
Kevin

I'm not an API expert, but at a quick glance the current top posters for those movies do not have the correct 1:1.5 aspect ratio. That usually will be fixed by one of our image experts sooner rather than later.
If you meant something completely different, which you probably did, then you can disregard this answer. :)

Hi Kevin,
Yes, and to add to lineker's post, our sizes only resize by width so unless it's a perfect 1:1.5 ratio, the height's of the images will vary off of the size you're expecting. We work to ensure all of our posters meet the criteria listed here but not all of our users follow these rules. For items that have a primary image, they will be a perfect 1:1.5
Cheers.
