CGI is a good tool in my view. But I think the debate over whether CGI is inherently good or bad is a red herring. What people actually object to (even when they inartfully declare CGI "bad") is the use of CGI when it doesn't work...which is becoming more frequent.
More frequent compared to what? Is there really any moe bad-CGI in movies comparable to badly done suits, or puppets, or models in any previous era?
Is the Syfy channel original SS Doomtrooper...
...really somehow worse than the Giant Claw (1957)??!
In fact, I'd argue the opposite, that really BAD CGI is becoming less and less frequent as the costs go down.
