10 Most Embarrassing CGI Moments In Recent Movies

Now, the filmmakers behind Hellboy: The Crooked Man sure were optimistic in trying to make a worthwhile Hellboy movie while armed with only a $20 million budget. And rather than develop the Hellboy reboot with a focus on practical effects, they decided to kick the movie off with a CGI-heavy set-piece featuring some of the most eyesore-inducing VFX seen in any superhero movie basically ever.

That opening action sequence sees Hellboy (Jack Kesy) battle a giant supernatural spider onboard a moving train, but the resulting creature is so hilariously awful-looking that even ardent arachnophobes will struggle to be scared of this abomination-in-all-the-wrong-ways.

To call the CGI spider "video game-y" is a huge disservice to video games - this looks like a basic 3D model a first-year animation student might rustle up over a lazy weekend and be pretty happy with - but in the latest entry into a superhero franchise, and one intended to restart said franchise no less? It's maddening that anyone involved thought this was good enough.
