20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2018 (So Far)

13. All The Awful CGI - Black Panther

Black Panther is a remarkable superhero movie that has potent answers for many of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's biggest issues, but it also falls down hard in the third act with some egregiously awful visual effects.

During T'Challa's (Chadwick Boseman) final battle against Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) in particular, the two brawling Black Panthers look like early-2000s video game characters, and far from the standard you'd expect to see in a $200+ million tentpole movie.

Almost as bad are the war rhinos which show up in the final battle, while a few earlier sequences - the South Korea chase and T'Chaka's (John Kani) appearance on the ancestral plane - also look pretty damn ugly.

Considering that Rampage, a movie with "only" $120 million behind it, looks miles better than this is incredibly embarrassing. Marvel should have this sort of thing on lock by now.
