IMO, Jurassic had the perfect mix of CGI dinosaurs and animatronic/practical effects and still holds up even to this day.  It also helped that Spielberg, for the most part, used animatronics when the actors were directly interacting the dinosaurs and keep CGI dinosaurs at a reasonable distance from the camera.  The issue with the dinosaurs in the SE is that some of them were far too close the camera, making the CGI very apparent.  I thought the CGI in the distance (such as dewbacks), looked fine.  Although, wasn't the revealing shot of Mos Eisely actually a miniature?  I thought that was CGI for the longest time.
