I think everyone will agree that when making a film the story HAS to be right before you start messing about with CGI, it's no good spending multiple millions on a film so it's the best looking film ever made if the story stinks.

Take the Pirates trilogy for instance, the first film had a great story & the CGI didn't get in the way, then the second film arrived with a less than brilliant story & far more CGI, the third film has even more CGI & a really crap story.

I'd rather have the best story & acting given priority over the CGI, leave out the CGI totally if you have to just get the story right first. One movie that bucked the trend for CGI recently was The Punisher, that had no CGI whatsoever & the film certainly didn't suffer for not having any.
