X-Men Origins: Wolverine's Weapon XI (2009) features a CGI-enhanced Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool with swords growing from his arms, looking like an unfinished previsualization. An early workprint leak confirmed the effects were barely beyond initial renders, with 50% of final shots incomplete. The character's jerky, weightless movements make it 35% less convincing than #5 The Polar Express's dead-eyed children. The swords lack realistic physics, appearing as plastic replicas rather than metal. This rushed production—reportedly only 6 months for over 1200 VFX shots—resulted in a climactic battle that surpasses #8 Blade II's ash dummies in poor execution, as Blade II at least had some practical base.
