Cons: writing quality, CGI quality

#8 Wicked: For Good
1.8

Digital effects are a recurring visual weak spot. Reviewers call out uncanny de-aging, artificial animals, and conspicuous digital environments, though a few felt the effects integrated well enough with the...

Pros: lead performance, acting performance

Cons: story quality, soundtrack quality

#10 The Abandons
1.0

CGI is a notable weak point in the negative coverage, with the pilot cattle stampede repeatedly singled out as cheap or laughable.
