Not that I like CGI and not that those films don’t have some flawed shots but there’s quite a few that have better work than the Prequels in the late 90s/early 2000s. The first Matrix especially, hasn’t dated at all (It helped that a lot was practical).

Those films work because they had a generally good mix of CGI and practical sets/effects, specifically in Lord of the Rings and Titanic. The second two prequels looked poor because they made no attempt to blend things seamlessly.
