10 Worst CGI Moments In DCEU History
10. Martian Manhunter - Zack Snyder's Justice League
When the Snyder Cut was greenlit on HBO, the director was given a relatively small budget for reshoots and to make the changes he wanted from the theatrical release with Joss Whedon at the helm. Of course, there were many differences between the two versions of the film, one of which being the inclusion of Martian Manhunter.
Harry Lennix played the alien when posing as General Calvin Swanwick throughout the franchise, but this would be the first time he appeared in his natural form. However, due to the unusual circumstances, the CGI technology available wasn’t as good as it normally would have been.
Thanks to the worldwide pandemic, the VFX team behind Zack Snyder’s Justice League were forced to come up with new methods of motion capture when the standard way was no longer possible. This of course was out of their control, but it did make for a less than ideal version of the character appearing on screen.
It’s fair to say that the team did relatively well under the circumstances, but in terms of just looking at what was produced on the screen, the CGI that brought Martian Manhunter to life simply wasn’t to the same standard as you might usually expect from a Hollywood blockbuster.
