No, I hate the overuse of CGI in films - it's not really a 'special effect' when it's been used in EVERY frame of the film (I'm looking at you, George Lucas).

The new Star Wars films were a total joke in this respect (and every other respect), they pointlessly used CGI in some places; there's a part in the third one I think where a couple of people run behind Anakin and Obi Wan and they're fucking CGI! Why? Who knows - that's using a special effect for a purpose that isn't special.

I think it annoys me more when the settings are rendered in CGI, realistic looking sets have a much higher chance of suspending your disbelief. Obviously, this is impossible in some cases, but there were so many moments in the new Star Wars films where I was thinking 'wow, this looks like a piece of shit', rather than just accepting that what's there is actually there.
