So more often that not, we get another (worse) version of something we've seen before.

Also, the older I get the harder it gets for a movie to make a big impression.
I don't think it's small budgets as much as piss poor writing (TMNT for example). Writers today don't have the creative spark like they used to, but you also make a point about budget. When CGI is cheaper than visual effects, they of course go that route to save money, which in the end creates an attempt at a visually appealing slide show instead of a story. And it goes not only for horror. (Course there are new movies that aren't complete shit, I'm just saying they're few and far between these days.)

The age thing may also be true. I don't get drawn into movies like I did as a kid. Probably because we loose that foggy vision of everything in a movie looking believable. I didn't think there was CGI in Jurassic Park when I saw it first several times, but now that I'm older I can spot it a mile away (but it's seldom, so it doesn't bother me).

I guess I do need to make a topic about this sometime.
