CGI has in many ways ruined Hollywood action movies as they tend to over rely on them...I have to say that the best shows are not in the movies any longer. T.V. and especially cable T.V. has some of the most ground breaking stuff out there today.

So true there is typically no subtlety at all. CGI like any other tool will take time for people to figure out (I remember the over abundance of synthesized music in the 80s as one example). Some on cable are figuring it out though. If you watch at Game of Thrones they have used a LOT of CGI to provide the locations but it is nearly undetectable unless you are looking for it. Most importantly the producers understand that it should aid the story and not be the focus.

"If you watch at Game of Thrones they have used a LOT of CGI to provide the locations but it is nearly undetectable unless you are looking for it."

I do watch the Game of Thrones and outside of the gratiutious sex in the first two seasons I think it's been brilliant. It has all the dynamics that used to be in movies. A good plot, good character development and character arcs. I think the one main thing about characters now days in movies is most of them are one dimensional and so predictable.
