Some special effects just look bad, regardless of the time period. The lightsabers from Star Wars: A New Hope (the un-remastered version) still look pretty decent. Gollum from the Lord of the Rings trilogy looks ridiculous, and he always did.

I will argue that Gollum looked better than the goblins in The Hobbit trilogy, however. It helped that Andy Serkis played both the mo-cap portion and provided the voice and subsequent acting.

He certainly looked better than Legolas trying to be Mario.
