Most modern day blockbusters also seem to have transparently obvious CGI. All these Marvel movies aren't even trying to hide that the visuals on-screen are all CGI. The post Infinity Wars movies are particularly egregious.

There are movies like the Mission Impossible series that use plenty of CGI but most of the time you won't even catch it.

MI has the bonus that the 'meat' of the stunts are actually being performed by real people, and the CGI is dressing around it. A big draw, in my opinion. Superhero movies where the majority of the action is CGI? Eh.

Game of Thrones used tons of CGI too. But they did it right. They built out parts of the set, then did the rest in CG. This allowed them to create something which looked real(for the most part).

Problem with these Marvel "films" is there is so much CGI there's nothing left to ground them in reality, and then it looks fake no matter how many millions they poured into it.
