10 Recent Movies That Grossly Overestimated What Their CGI Could Do

9. Venom

Venom wasn't a terribly good film, but unlike the latest Men in Black, at least you can't call it completely bland - Tom Hardy's madcap performance just about kept it interesting enough to be memorable.

But Hardy was constantly battling against the movie's sub-par barrage of CGI - an inherent requirement for a Venom movie for sure, but not one that the film's modest-ish $115 million budget could support.

Though Venom actually looks relatively decent in isolation, whenever the film calls for the CGI model and a live-action Hardy to be integrated, the results are hilariously bad.

Any illusion of Venom being a "real" entity is entirely broken when a low-fi black mass rendering juts awkwardly out of Hardy's face, and the final battle between Venom and Riot (Riz Ahmed) devolves into a near-incomprehensible mess of shiny goop rolling around.

Fingers crossed that with Venom's astronomical box office success, the upcoming sequel might benefit from a few numbers being added to the VFX budget.
