THIS is possibly the worst scene in all 6 movies:

 It also shows why having a completely CGI scene can sometimes look so off.  Particularly when it's a composite of several drawings created independent of each other.

i haven't seen the film, so I may be reading this wrong.  To the far right it looks as if someone is lying on the ground.  There is someone standing very close.  The shadow cast from the person standing is on the ground next to the body, but it's missing from the body, and only cast on the ground.

It was there first and the added body interrupts it.  The shadow is too dark to be interrupted that way. If the light source were strong enough to remove the shadow from the arm, it would also wash it out on the ground. It's poorly rendered.

In the one prequel I saw, the CGI took me out of the film because it not only looked like a cartoon, but it also failed to follow the laws of physics. it looks fake on several levels.
