Personally, I think stop-motion looks even worse than CGI.

Incredible Hulk rocked, and the CGI was pretty good...with movies like Hulk, I'm prepared for a CGIfest, there's just no other way to do it. ALTHOUGH, the attack helicopter was pretty bad- very video-game-y.

My philosophy has always been simple: do it real unless you physically CAN'T. Too many hollywood movies these days freakin AVOID models even though they can afford them and go right for the cgi!! The CG NEVER looks anywhere near as good as models.
On a TV show it's understandable due to budget, but comon..
In the long run so long as you can enjoy the story that's all that counts.

Great topic! All good points being made.
Just to add a few notes of my own...
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - No chest expansion from breathing, or movement of the throat muscles really killed the lifelike effect they were going for.
Van Helsing & King Kong - Wild "virtual camera" moves during the big set-pieces (ala The Matrix) killed any sense of reality.
It worked fine in The Matrix because that was actually a virtual world!
I never saw King Kong, only the scene where Kong is fighting 3 T-Rexes (on the HDTVs at Best Buy), and after about the fifth time Naomi Watts got tossed into /snatched out of midair, I just threw my hands up and walked out, because her neck would've snapped each time.
And don't get me started on Van Helsing!
But I really liked the CGI in I, Robot!

I have to say, the CG in Cloverfield worked for me. Say what you will about the movie, but those little tick things worked for it. And, to their credi, they tried puppets, but that proved impossible.
However-many-ing the Star Wars CGI, and every single goddamn Sci-Fi Original Movie.

It's bugging me
grating me
and twisting me around
yeah I'm endlessly
caving in
and turning inside out
because I want it now
I want it now
give me your heart and your soul
and I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
last chance to lose control
