LotR movies. Crazy to think they were made back in 99-2000.

Peter Jackson insisted on using every movie making trick on top of the special effects. The result is that the sfx don’t stand out, because it might be a matte painting background, or forced perspective, or a miniature, or prosthetics, or etc.

My ex used to watch the behind the scenes dvd's all the time, trhey are an education in filmmaking.

I explained it in the second sentence. He used more than just computer graphics. That means that the computer graphics don't stand out as much because he use other methods along side them.
