Van Helsing is tops for big budget bad CGI. Fur: CGI's Nemesis (with a  few notable exceptions).

Ticonderoga 64

The pseudo-vampires from the Will Smith film, I AM LEGEND, were some of the worst CGI effects to ever be laid down on film as were the Rock version of the Scorpion King from the second MUMMY film..simple awful stuff. All that money invested and the thing looked so amateurish as to be done a grade school student.

Dammit! I'd forgotten about the end of The Mummy II and now it's back in my head. The disturbing thing is somebody (or somebodies) in some kind of position of authority saw that and thought, 'Yeah, sure that's good enough for release'.

"LOTR: Return of the King" had some pretty awful CGI, not least the march of the Undead- which looked liked warmed-up mushy pea soup.

Wasn't too keen on all those silly Agent Smiths Neo was "fighting" in "Matrix Reloaded" either.

still not seen any of the LOTR movies, or the Hobbit ones. (Martin Freeman cannot be anything except Tim ftom The Office in my head...)


Pacman000

The 1st all CG dino in Jurassic Park hasn't held up well. Something about the lighting; it looks unnatural.

The rest of the movie generally holds up well tho.

The excessive lighting is always a dead giveaway with some cgi-based films: the LOTR ones in particular were really poorly done; "I am legend", and of course "SW:A New Hope" also spring to mind.
