CGI if used sensibly, could make a bad movie look good, and make a good movie look awesome. But as they say, an overdose of anything is bad. A movie loaded simply with CGI is bound to fail, cuz there's nothing else to see in it.

The Hulk had plenty of it. Did it work? nope.

But sensible use of it, blended with the story, like the Matrix trilogy, the LOTR trilogy, the X-Men series...could make it a truly spectacular view. The box-office will show the results, and it will satisfy the audiences and critics alike.

CGI is just like any other method of special effects. It hasn't "put a damper" on any movie. Bad filmmaking has.

Yeah, I don't know where I stand with this one really. Although like what has been said before, if it's used well, it can be very very good.

Good CGI= Final Destination series... Whether you liked it or not, the series does has some nice CGI effects such as the car accident scene.

Bad CGI= Boogeyman.... Crappy movie and worst CGI.

Like everyone else who's posted, I don't hate CGI; I just hate when people use CGI to say, "Hey, look what I can do!" The Fog remake comes to mind. The CGI isn't bad, but it takes over the movie (a crappy one at that). It only serves to remind me how the simple special effects in the original are a thousand times better than this lame attempt.

CGI

I'am on the middle of the fence when it comes to CGI. In some movies CGI can make some of the action interesting. For example Final Destination. While for others it can make the movie suck all the more. Van Helsing is a very good solid example of this. The story wasn't that great to begin with but throw in the CGI werewolf & the rest, well the result wasn't pretty at all. From Dracula's overacting to the over the top brides. The final result was a very cartoonish looking affair. Did I mention Mister Hyde? No well he sucked for the love of god. What in the name of all that is inholy was he doing in the movie? Was this guy the stunt double for the hulk. When Van Helsing shoots him you can just about see the pixels. That was simply bad CGI.

As far as horror, the CGI in 'Exorcist: The Beginning' made me sick.
