the cgi in it would probably seem dated? And it doesn't necessarily hold up.
But if you watched it when it was released in 1997, the cgi didn't seem that bad for the time.

Complaining that CGI made 25 years ago not being as good as CGI in 2022 is stupid.

I don't know, some of it looks better than the theatrical cut of Justice League.

Last time I watched it, I remember it looking fine.

I watch it from time to time and I think it still looks great. Even if it didn't, why should a movie from 1997 be expected to look exactly like a movie from today?

Actually I’d say the first Men in Black’s effects still look pretty damn good. Probably because they were done by the top people at ILM. They actually look better than the FX of MIB2 and 3. While a lot of movies around that time have dated FX this is not one of them

CGI in general from the 90s is pretty dated. Hell even a lot of early 2000s CGI doesn't hold up (Spider-man 2002 comes to mind)

And how about those stop-motion effects in King Kong (1933)?

In its nature, computer-animated imagery begins to date as technology becomes more advanced and older uses look more primitive. It's been a while since I've seen Men in Black, but I'm sure by 2022 standards, the CGI looks dated. It's fine for a movie like that because it's not meant to look extremely photorealistic, instead being more cartoonish and exaggerated.

Complaining that CGI made 25 years ago not being as good as CGI in 2022 is stupid. I guess it comes down to what you consider bad cgi or not. I think blade has cgi that looks bad also. And the sw special editions look horrible.
I also think a lot of cgi in things made in recent times looks pretty bad.

I think compeering CGI made 25 years ago with CGI made to today is stupid. It has to be compered with the CGI made at the time. Of course CGI and specials effects are going to generally look better today than what it did 25+ years ago. Just as CGI and special effects from 1997 generally looks better than special effects did in 1972 and so on.

Well actually , I don't really think that the time that the cgi was made in... necessarily makes it better/worse cgi or not.
It depends on what they are creating with cgi, and how it is used. So I don't think it necessarily can only be compared to other cgi at that time.
I'm saying, some cgi made before men in black looked better than men in black. So it doesn't necessarily have to do with the year that it came out.
