I agree with a lot that's in this article. It's about Directors going overboard with CGI, whether it's special FX for action scenes, designing monsters like Dinosaurs, or over color correcting with Teal and Blue.
A little bit of CGI goes a long way if you use it correctly. It's what we love about Star Wars and Jurassic Park, and what we find less than convincing and entertaining in many of the movies that followed using even more CGI.
I would add an example that's not in this article, which is Transformers. The first Transformers was pretty good and I enjoyed it. However, in subsequent Transformers there was so much "transforming" that I was bored to tears with it by the end of the movie. More story less transforming please, but you know Michael Bay likes the action.
