Umm . . . your background probably spoils a lot of movies for you. Undoubtedly, you notice things that others would overlook.If the wires were erased in Crouching Tiger, I guess we'll count that as 1/2 effect. But other films from the pre-digital era used wires satsifactorily.
Did not see Godzilla 2000. However, "Titanic" appeared to me as a pretty successful use of digital effects. I kept telling myself that I was seeing effects, but only because I knew what I was seeing would be wildly impractical in real life. (By contrast, some of the battle scenes in "Phantom Menace" seemed like the could have been outtakes from "Toy Story.")
It will be interesting to see how "Pearl Harbor" does. It appears that most of the film's budget was spent on effects. The actors are, with one or two exceptions, no-names; and even the names worked mostly for a percentage, not big upfront money.

When I watch a movie for the first time, I always try to ignore any "faults" in the digital effects and just pay attention to the story. But, some movies without a good story that have poorly done digital effects, I will sit through just to see how bad they are.> > > If the wires were erased in Crouching Tiger, I guess we'll count that as 1/2 effect.

IIRC, in Crouching Tiger they used much thicker support wires than in pre-digital films to provide an added level of safety. Digital erasing/retouching tends not to distract from a film as much as "real" special effects.> > > Did not see Godzilla 2000. < < <
Consider yourself lucky.> > > By contrast, some of the battle scenes in "Phantom Menace" seemed like the could have been outtakes from "Toy Story." < < <
One thing people sometimes don't realize about the outtakes Pixar did for "Toy Story" and "A Bug's Life", etc... was that it actually takes more work to do them (and they're scripted).Chia-Hao
