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.
