No more remakes would be nice.

Because it's cheaper, I'm afraid today's movie makers rely too heavily on CGI. Kids these days love it and I will never understand how or why. Any SciFi film is a great example why. They look like crap! Obviously fake, not scary, takes away any tension because you can't stop laughing or facepalming. However if used sparingly it could and has worked. Jurassic Park is THE best example. It had CGI when it was needed, and went traditional effects if it was possible. The blend was perfect and didn't offset the vision or lose focus of story and excitement. This was also the approach for the Lord of the Rings films. There's a reason certain movies remain such classics, and it's not a fuck ton of cheap CGI.
Today however... it seems if we want practical effects we have to stick with the classics like the Howling or AWIL. I'm certainly not holding my breath for a good werewolf film anytime soon. If anything I hope for them to be as painless as possible to watch.
I could rant about this forever, but there's also redundant tween appeal plot to consider even if the movie was made right. Few know how to write a good story anymore...
