It's kind of odd to suggest the CGI here is any less realistic than the CGI from 20 years ago, although the original cleverly used a mix of animatronic and CGI and dino-suits in scenes suitable to each method.

At the time, those scenes were breathtaking because no-one had ever done it before to such effect. Now when you watch the movie, they look cheesy and dated. And now every other big movie has replaced everything with CG, and 99% of the time it still looks cheesy and fake. Especially when they try to animate humans.
