Personally, I'm a fan of practical effects. I like CGI but I feel like movies are relying on it TOO heavily these days. I've seen movies where a guy was walking down the street and his environment was all CGI. How hard was it to film some guy walking down the street?? If you want CGI to enhance the practical effects or create things that don't exist, that's fine. But I feel like too many movies are using it to create things that do exist.
