Personally I think that the only movie to really hold its own, in terms of CGI, to this day is Jurassic Park. For me that says a lot b/c that was early CGI, back when it was starting to get big.
But I think that b/c of how much CGI we've seen in movies today the effects are easy to pick-out. The first time I noticed bad CGI was in The Mummy Returns, when the Rock was half Scorpian. He looked like ASS!!! Even parts of Spider-Man look like obvious CGI, like the part when Parker is running to climb up the wall to chase after Uncle Ben's killer.
But, some of the more recent stuff that I think looks good is the stuff in STAR WARS, especially the droids, granted that it isn't hard to make droids look real they still looked great. I think the greatest effect in the STAR WARS prequals was General Greivous.
Then even though Fantastiv Four was kinda lame, Torch look ed great.
Speaking of FF, the Thing is a perfect example of how old fashioned make-up and props still can be a great tool for visual effects.
So CGI has its ups and downs.
