Back in the 80's and 90's good CGI/visual effects was able to carry a movie. It made bad movies good, and good movies.... better. Since quality CGI is the new normal now, studios can't get away with making shytty movies (unless of course your name is Michael Bay).
It's almost like Dunk Contests in basketball. The dunks they were doing in the 80's appeared to be
at that time but the moment Isaiah Rider did the between the legs dunk the game changed forever. Now if someone does that basic dunk it will only get 7's or 8's. Today, we've pretty much seen every dunk you can possibly do so that wow factor is gone.
Hopefully, studios will find a happy medium between great actors/writing and CGI.
