Haven't seen the movie but my thoughts on CGI are simple really. They make movie making too easy and people get lazy when it comes to good old story telling. Most of these effects are so over the top now and there are big gaps within the movies that are essentially CGI filler where no real movie making actually gets done. It reminds me of that Cher song with the voice effects. Before you know it every friggin producer is pushing that same shittty sound in every friggin song.
