In some ways CGI has ruined movies.

Raiders was great because it had story, dialogue, heart/soul. The special effects were hard done by craftsmen. If Spielberg/Lucas had todays technology in the 80'S Raiders would have been just as bad as crystal skull.

I wish the movie makers of today would realize the story/dialogue has to be good or no amount of cgi will save it. Just cause we all pay to see these movies, doesn't mean we love them, we just don't have much of an option.

CGI is like salt, it should enhance the meal and bring out the flavor, not be the main course.
