Usually that is the case, yes. When a movie is overloaded with special effects, it's usually because the filmmakers are trying to compensate for what's lacking in other areas, i.e., bad/stupid/boring/unbelievable plot, bad acting, bad dialogue, bad editing.
Also, even a potentially good movie can be ruined by overuse of special effects, as they become the focus of the movie, while the plot becomes secondary.

Special effects come in a huge variety of forms. The term covers almost everything that is created to enhance a shot. Many of them are created on a set - fake explosions using compressed air for example or specific camera movements and angles to create a sense of movement and size. Increasingly, effects are added electronically in the post production phase: Film directors often film the whole movie then add special effects later on a computer. An example is the technique called chroma keying, also known as green screen or blue screen. Filming a subject in front of a blue or green background allows the subject to be superimposed onto backgrounds at a later time. This kind of technique allows an actor to appear in a place that would otherwise be impossible. If the director wants the actor to be in outer space, chroma keying lets it happen. Underwater or in the middle of a raging fire are just as easy. As computing power increases, so the complexity of the effects grow and become more lifelike. Despite the growing use of computers, there are still a vast number of effects that are created on a set using very simple techniques by craftsmen who spend their working life making us believe that it's happening for real.

He"s a Giant Ape akin to, but much milder, than King Kong. He figures in both a live action film- where he is part of a nightclub act, and a more recent Disney film- also Live action but with heavy special effects.
