10 Unforgivably Bad CGI Scenes In BILLION Dollar Movies

1. Black Panther - Free Fallin'

Avengers Infinity War

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's first full foray to Wakanda may have been the film that helped superhero cinema smash its way into awards season in earnest for the first time since The Dark Knight did a decade prior - but if it's got an Achilles' heel, then it's hard to dispute that the effects work during its final third isn't quite up to snuff compared to what came before it.

The nadir of this sequence is the one-on-one brawl between Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa and Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger - and it is to the testament of their performances that their fight still packs the emotional punch required in spite of the particularly unconvincing visual panache on display, with the pair looking like elasticated action figure versions of themselves as they attempt to gain the upper hand.

There's a reason that Avengers: Infinity War edged it out for a Best Visual Effects nomination at the Oscars.
