I published a new article, but it was unpublished and deemed over promotional.

How can it be a newly published/unpublished article if it has been moved to Reelrundown already?

We cannot see the article.
No one will be able to help. Read the Help section dealing with overly promotional articles.
The article is a review of a recent movie. I used a few images from a site that specializes in movie posters, and I sourced them below the image.
It's not my website, and I don't receive money from said site. But my article was deemed over promotional. Is their any way to fix?
Okay, so the images must be legal-to-use, i.e. have a Creative Commons license, Public Domain, or be assigned to use for publicity purposes. If the site sells those posters, you can't use them.
Also, you can't link to the same domain more than twice.
Any reason why only 2 links to same domain? All my images come from almost the same website. Impawards or IMDb.
Because when you keep linking to the same website, it seems like you are promoting it.
Will this article not stand on its own without the links? If you can, delete so that there will only be two links. If the article is not able to be understood without the posters, you can either rewrite it or just publish it elsewhere, like on a blog.
I don't own the rights to the images, and without images the article will not pass quality assessment.
Plenty of articles pass QA with one or no images.
I would not use the same site to source your images over and over, it's probably what's getting you flagged, especially if a lot of other people are using the same images. I usually search on Bing or Google for images and link from those sites. I never use just one site for images in my movie reviews.
Making sure they are appropriately licensed, of course

I have revised the article 3 times. Removed links. Removed references to technology that is not even ours. There was never any sales language in it. It keeps getting rejected with no explanation of what is wrong with it. Why should we waste our time if there is no decent feedback?

My Take on Hub Pages. It's alright for them to take our content and just add whatever type of adds they want. Why? Because when someone reads ""our content"" and clicks on one of these adds, Hub Pages makes money. Yes you say, they share it with us. The Truth! Hub...

...so I've never been clear on this "overly promotional" thing. This is what I, as a 69 year-old "rebel-with -cause," I-don't-give-a-care-anymore", woman understands the rule to be: For hubs, I think I'm clear: I must be sure I never ever to mention my company (website) in...
