Buffy the Vampire Slayer also pulled off a decent werewolf effects for a TV show that was recent. The fact is CGI isn't as predominant as most people think and more expensive than they realize. Practical special effects like make up, monster suits, puppets and animatroics STILL produce very realistic special effects.

Your original statement was that they were "impressive" and "realistic", and those are both simply a matter of opinion. I find the CG effects used in Underworld and Buffy to be neither of those things. More to the point, we are talking about female werewolves specifically, something Underworld doesn't even have and Buffy only had a split second of female werewolf TF before killing her.
