    "Did anybody in the whole world actually believe Jar Jar was really interacting with the actors in a single one of his scenes?" What about when Padme pulls his arm out of the podracer's engine? Jesus, do you fooking morons even watch these things or do you just let cunts like Simon Pegg do all your thinking for you. Take your head out of that gun-lovin' tosser's arsehole and try thinking for yourselves. Idiots.

    "Sound Of Thunder" - what an absolute stinker! As for worst CGI moments you are missing my two favourites! Firstly there is the the awful "reshoot" hair given to Ewan McGregor in the closing scene of Episode 1 (but it may have just been a god awful wig) and Titanic. Calm down, just one bit in particular. The boat is sinking fast and our two heroes make their escape along a poorly lit- rapidly flooding corridor in slow motion, except Kate and Leo were obviously unavailable that day and two stand-ins were chosen easily disguised by CGI'ing the actors faces into the scene ... just a shame the faces don't fit on the heads or in fact stay where they should be while in motion. Frickin' awful. *Simon Pegg's opinion has had no influence in this post*

    Oh c'mon TF! Transformers' effects were about as good as they could have been, any 'motion sickness' problems lay in the direction. "Fourteen years on, it will be remembered as 2007’s jaw-dropper." remember? :-) And you may want to check out the CGI monster from Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. It blends in less with it's non CG surroundings than Roger Rabbit did and it'd easily bump any of these offerings from the list...

    I think the Megalodon is actually real shark footage, but they made a p**s-poor job of super-imposing it. And if you're going to pick on "Watchmen" Dr. Manhattan's self dressing tuxedo looked very bad considering it was in a scene with a glowing blue nuclear man.

    @Sproutacus: yeah, you're right: the shark stuff is real--the people is copy/pasted in there.. rather poorly

    I have to agree with Bulletproof-animal, Do you watch these movies or just ask random people on the street, transformers is as good as you can get and personnal that part of the matrix is top line

    What an awful article. Here's a tip: If you're going to make an article about the worst CGI in movies, do your research. If Jar Jar is among the worst CGI you've ever seen then you're not watching enough movies. Start watching some B movies. The worst CGI in the world comes from movies that don't have a George Lucas budget. Plus, that Megalodon stuff isn't even CGI. This feels like the kind of list a child would make because they've only seen about 20 films in their lifetime.

    I have to say that some of this cgi didn't look too bad at the time when it was first released - with some exceptions. I have to say too, Megalodon 3 looks awesome for all the wrong reasons.

    Total Film: You have missed the worst one ever. The stupid animal thing out of Lost In Space! And having a dig at the King Kong stampede is a low blow. I saw that in Leicester Square and I was gripped.

    Haha @ NickyC; Lost in Space was on recently and I tuned in at the end just in time to see/remind myself of that terrible animal thing - looked awful! No jpegs of stationary cars weaving across traffic lights in "Cradle of Fear"? Or anything from "Battlefield Earth" - the sad thing is, if you watch the extra features, the cast seem convinced that the effects/film in general are massively amazing/will prove influential.

    You also forgot the monkeys in "Jumanji" - a horrible stain on a film that's effects were otherwise startling for the time. And yes, special edition Jabba blows, as do the infected in "I am Legend" - if only they'd just stuck with them being vampirised people a la the book, rather than going "there's no way people will believe vampires... how about non-specific mutants that, err... only come out at night" - they could have just done it with makeup!
