Am I the only one who thinks the CGI effects look fake?

I agree with the CG...it has taken a big step towards improvement in ROTS, but TPM and ATOC it looks like Roger Rabbit. Live action actors over blue/Green screens showing a cartoony background. Natalie Portman said nearly all the scenes they did were that way and it was very frustrating as an actor (maybe part of the reason the acting seems stilted). The cartooniness pulls me out of the movie. What's sad is that 20-30 years ago it looked more convincing and "real" with models than it does now. Further still I don't dislike CG, I love Blood: The Last Vampire, Appleseed, Final Fantasy: Spirits Within and I am psyched about Final Fantasy: Advent Children and Sky Blue coming out on DVD. Have it one way or the other. Live actors over a cartoony background looks so fake. CG should be a tool to HELP a movie like in LOTR, not BE the movie. Oh well, what do I know...he's a billionaire and I am not...so be it.
