It's called "rotoscoping" and has been used for decades. the old Max Fleisher Superman cartoons used rotoscoping to get realistic movements.

However, I agree that it can look cheap. it may still cost millions, but it looks like they shot a movie and then traced it frame by frame to make it animated. Sometimes like in the 70's Lord of the Rings, I wonder why they did that.
