10 More Awful Times Movie Actors Were Combined With CGI
3. Hugh Jackman - X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Speaking of Wolverine, that's not his only brush with the terrors of the digital world. In 2009, he got his very own movie that delved into his backstory and explained how he came to acquire his signature adamantium claws.
Given that they're such an important part of the film (and of the character himself), you'd think that said claws would be given all the care and attention they needed, to make sure they looked good onscreen. Sadly, they were not. At all.
They look bad at numerous points during the film, but the bathroom scene is the worst offender. Not only do they look cheaply-produced, but the light isn't bouncing off them in the right way, and they don't even cast shadows onto Jackman's knuckles. It's the kind of special effect that makes you wonder where Hollywood shoves its hundreds of millions of dollars, because, at one point in time, some filmmakers looked at this and went "yeah, that's good", and actively put it into the film.
One of the most frustrating things about this whole thing is that Wolverine's claws looked great in the first X-Men movie (which came out in 2000), and with nine years of technological advancements and special effects developments, they look worse here.
Also, a special shoutout to the horrible CGI render of Patrick Stewart who cameos at the end of the film. He very nearly made this entry, but since Wolverine is the main character, it's a bigger crime for the claws to look like trash.
