Using props combined with CG works well. Furthermore I saw some video some time ago, dude said believability is important, while our brain can deal with fantasy settings seeing such BS like Legolas hopping further up from falling stones of a bridge (or whatever he was hopping from in that scene) triggers us and makes us irk.

Ran is also good from Kurosava, has battle scenes too. Although I don't think the era is specified, but it is sure it's not Sengoku.
