10 Stunning Movies With One Awful CGI Moment

Peter Jackson's King Kong was a CGI landmark in many ways, best of all delivering a wholly convincing giant ape without whom the movie's emotional core would've fallen completely flat.

But it's also fair to say that Jackson's Kong is a wildly overstuffed and bloated affair, clocking in at a needless 187 minutes and over-indulging in excessive set-pieces that nobody really asked for.

This is painfully evident in the film's infamous brontosaurus stampede sequence, where the human characters find themselves caught in the middle of, well, exactly that.

Again, not a bad idea for a scene, but one that neither Jackson nor his VFX wizards were clearly capable of producing effectively within the production's time and/or budgetary constraints.

The dinosaurs don't look great, but what really kills the scene is the atrocious compositing of the actors, especially during most of the shots featuring Adrien Brody, Jack Black and Jamie Bell.

It's painfully clear we're watching actors against a green screen, and evokes less a feel of a cutting-edge blockbuster and more a kitschy 3D theme park video.
