10 Great Movies With Terrible CGI

8. Spider-Man

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man was the first movie in history to earn $100 million in its opening weekend. Even though the trilogy ended on a bit of a downer, there are legions of fans who prefer this incarnation of Spidey over the MCU version.

But the biggest lovers of the first film can't deny the fact the visual effects are sub-par. Ironically, most of the worst CGI moments come from Peter Parker being... y'know... Spider-Man. When the webslinger leaps from building to building, he looks like a rubber man with Tobey Maguire's face stitched on. When Green Goblin is terrorising the citizens, his unnatural movements make him resemble a cartoon character. Even though we should be in awe watching the wallcrawler soaring through the sky, most viewers are wondering why Spider-Man looks more like his video game counterpart than the ACTUAL video game equivalent!

Although there are a couple of solid shots of the webhead swinging through the city, the bad far outweighs the good. Even though the special effects in the sequel are lightyears ahead in quality, this just makes the CGI in this film look more underwhelming.
