Quote - Almost every movie released over the last decade has some FX and/or CGI element in it.  The best ones are often those you don't notice.  

SF, Fantasy and Action movies depend on CGI.  As long as there's a story in there, the FX should enhance the experience.

Bingo.  They should be secondary to the story and acting, not the primary focus which many of the movies "today" seem to be.

To me it's acceptable to see a car or building exploding in the background because it's necessary for the scene, but many movie makers go way overboard!

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
