The only reason you can tell something is cgi half the time (other half is asylum films in case your wondering) is because you know you can't find it in real life. You can tell that it's a suit with suits because they either are way too humanoid with a face that doesn't move or they move unnaturally in ridiculous manor. Like Godzilla's dorsal fins flopping all over the place constantly or how restricted his movement is or how ridiculously fat they make the legs. When you fix the fat problem he ends up looking like a person dressed up like a monster for Halloween apposed to a person dressed up like a monster who is professional. You have to have poor lighting to make them look realistic. Cgi looked borderline realistic in the 2000s and earlier due to how they move far too smoothly and looks completely real now. The only other special effect that compares is animatronics. But they are too much to work with. I don't understand the debate on how much cgi sucks and how the crap effects of their youth are so superior. Nostalgia I'm guessing.
