The worst CGI effects of all time?

Speaking of CGI effects, there’s a nifty article up at Twitch Guru on ‘CGI Gone Awry: The Worst Special Effects of the Computer- Generated Era‘. The films are broken down into five categories:

1. Bad CGI Orgies — Hulk (2003), The Haunting (1999; my review), Van Helsing (2004)
2. Giant Leaps Backward — Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003; my review), Alien: Resurrection (1997), Escape from L.A. (1997)
3. Why Didn’t They Just Use Real Animals? — Eraser (1995), The Day after Tomorrow (2004; my review), The Ring 2 (2004), Deep Blue Sea (1999)
4. The Effects Were Great, Except… — Spider-Man (2002; my review), The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003; my review), Star Wars (1997 version)
5. The Showstoppers — The Mummy Returns (2001; my review), Mission to Mars (2000), Wild Wild West (1999)

There are two films on this list that I haven’t seen at all, and I haven’t seen most of the rest since they first came out; but, those qualifications aside, I don’t think there is anything in this article that I disagree with — not in any significant way, at least.
