Spoilers people.
I thought this movie was fucking amazing, but man did the CGI look fucking terrible. I am mainly speaking of the fire which at the end when Sly and Terry Crews were ducking from just looked awful. Also the Steve Austin in flames death was partly ruined by how obvious he was just running around with his arms flailing at first, and then the fire was a complete afterthought, though Couture saved the scene with his pointless but amazing punch to the face. 
Did anybody else see it though?

Yep.  For a movie that promised to be a send back to 80s films, it was disappointing to see how much shitty CGI was used in the film.

So it was the bad kind of bad CGI, not the good kind like... 
 
  
   
Because just like bad acting, bad CGI can be so bad it's good.

It didn't seem particularly distracting as it was only used in one or two small places.

Very much so, sadly. I really enjoyed the movie but the some of the CGI was atrocious. The blood especially looked bad, especially when throats were slit.
