The scene in Ichi the killer where a man is cut in half (as well as some other scenes)... HORRIBLE CGI there. It does however fit with the over the top, almost anime style of the film and didn't do much to pull me away from the movie. Personally it bothers me more if it's in a film that's supposed to be realistic than if it's used in a fantasy setting. Rambo's CGI wasn't bad, a little over used but it didn't look like overproduced cheese and didn't really draw my attention to it. Even movies like Shoot-Em Up which I think had some really bad CGI moments don't bother me much. I think the worst CGI effect for me is blood spatter, that's the one I notice the most and it makes me wonder why they didn't stick to the old school method for that BUT bad special effects are bad special effects. It doesn't matter if they're CGI or poorly made puppets. Oh, and I shouldn't forget to mention Sweeney Todd as a recent movie with good use of CGI.
