He was, and very well done, in an age where CGI was not something to fall back on like it is now. It was used in conjunction with stunts and practical effects. It can be used for an element like the liquid metal, but once you start doing cgi car and helicopter chases, your brain knows that none of it is real and you may as well be watching a cartoon. When there's practical effects and stunts, your brain knows to be impressed.
