![]() It begins in laughable fashion, with the shark floating through the water, shattering the fake glass, and breaking all the laws of physics by immediately stopping in its tracks. This being Hollywood, however, they pumped out increasingly lower quality sequels, resulting in the critically panned “Jaws 3-D.” It’s difficult not to shake your head at the entire climax of this flick. “Jaws” is one of those perfect movies that absolutely did not need a sequel. ![]() It doesn’t look cool or scary- instead, it’s giggle-inducing. But then we see the CGI flaming skull, and that just completely ruins both the scene and the rest of the movie. The initial screaming bit comes across decently, despite the awkward CGI smoke and cheesy fireball effects that fill the screen. The first transformation scene is particularly disappointing. Unfortunately, the CGI was not convincing, despite the $110 million budget behind the movie. It seems like a tough thing to pull off with practical effects, and the CGI needs to be convincing for it to work. This Marvel IP was always going to be a tricky production, what with the flaming skull and what not. Still, this is probably scary for the kids at least. The green eyes look bad enough, but it’s the skin stretch that needs the most work, as you can clearly see where Isla Fisher’s real face stops and the CGI takes over. In this scene, Mary Jane is riding ATVs with Shaggy and Scooby when her head hits a branch, causing her face to become monstrous, complete with green eyes and stretchy skin. In this 2002 live-action adaptation of the famous “Scooby Doo” animated series, Scoob and the gang travel to an island to investigate strange goings-on. They seriously thought having Han digitally walk on Jabba’s tail would be a good way to deal with the revised Jabba design of “Return of The Jedi”? Many of the effects from the ‘70s looked better than this new Jabba did. But with George Lucas re-inserting the scene 2 decades later with a CGI Jabba, it all looked highly artificial next to the human Harrison Ford. Shot in the ‘70s with a human playing Jabba, the scene was cut from the original release. Suffice it to say, audiences were not exactly thrilled. It wasn’t until the 1997 re-release in theaters that audiences saw this scene for the first time, and it was even further “improved” in the 2004 DVD release. Well, that’s not entirely true at least this scene wasn’t in the original 1977 version. The classic “Star Wars” is not without its faults. “Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope” (1997) It’s a glaringly obvious flaw in an otherwise excellent and gorgeous movie.Īdvertisement #17: Han Solo Meets Jabba the Hutt It’s not like anyone would have cared that the scene was breathless. On the DVD commentary, director David Fincher explained that they actually shot the scene in the freezing cold and he wanted to honor the actors’ commitment by adding in some breath. In one scene in “The Social Network,” Mark and Eduardo are talking outside in the cold, resulting in some ridiculously distracting CGI breath. We can’t think of anything more pointless than wasting money on CGI breath. By all accounts, “Justice League” was a total dud. And finally there’s the infamous case of Henry Cavill’s CGI-ed face, which was rightly mocked and memed to oblivion. There’s also the fact that both Cyborg and Steppenwolf looked really unbelievable, with the latter being particularly offensive. We saw more convincing green screen work back in 1999. For one thing, it’s very obvious that most of the action was shot on a green screen. Instead, we got a film that consistently looked like a video game cutscene. With that kind of money, we expected literal magic. We’ve never seen a $300 million movie look like this. What could have been a horrifying scene instead leaves people laughing. The computer spurt of blood only adds to the fakery, making “Jaws”, released almost 25 years earlier, look that much better. ![]() ![]() What is, admittedly, a surprising death, is simply ruined by the looks of this shark and the clearly CG’d Jackson. This sci-fi horror flick is about a group of scientists looking for a cure for Alzheimer’s, which results in the creation of super intelligent sharks, so you know there’s going to be some campy fun - but this is just inexcusable.
