Justice League Trailer Reactions: 7 Ups & 3 Downs

Downs

3. The Cyborg CGI

It goes without saying that the trailer still isn't a final product and expecting it to be 100% glossy is foolish with months of post-production still to get in the can, but there's something of a disconnect between the agenda to sell Cyborg's story as key and the fact that he doesn't look great for a lot of the trailer.

The CGI is decidedly ropey - particularly on his face and in terms of the light reflections on his armoured body. It looks unfinished - which it probably is - but you still have to question the decision to show so much of him off knowing that lack of finesse was in there.

Inevitably, rampant criticism has already appeared suggesting a double standard between the reactions to this and to supposedly poor CGI on Iron Man (which is fantasy, to be honest), but it would have been very easy to avoid the backlash by simply not showing the character off so much.
