Black Widow: 21 WTF Moments

4. Dreykov's AWFUL CGI Demise

Dreykov of course meets his well-deserved demise at film's end, attempting to flee on a plane before his plan is thwarted when Yelena blows up one of the engines, engulfing the entire vessel in a giant fireball.

Sadly it seems like the film's VFX budget basically ran out at this point: between the painfully cheap-looking fireball and the goofy shot where Dreykov's glasses are catapulted out of the vehicle in slow-motion - presumably for the 3D crowd - it's an awful death scene.

Granted, Dreykov was such a forgettable non-event of a villain that it's appropriate his death was similarly a total damp squib.
