What do you guys think of the lizards design?


I think the CGI on the Lizard is terrific. But I was so desappointed with the design of the creature. There are so many comic book versions that look spectacular and they didn't take inspiration from those. It looks like a design that is supposed to apeal to a really young audience even though the movie is PG 13

I don't think it was that bad. Very powerful character.

Looked like the goombas from the Mario Bros movie

I prefer the long-snout version

The effects were indeed good. The design itself? I’ve grown to appreciate it, especially after seeing the character’s return in NWH. Now I never disliked the way he looked per se, but I always thought they could have gone with a better design myself. Even so, while there’s no doubt that a more comic-accurate design would have looked far more menacing, I gotta say the final result works for me. He didn’t look completely like a Lizard (more human than total monster), and maybe that was for the best. If the character ever shows up again though, a redesign (or rather evolved look) would be great.
