As far as I'm cocerned I have no problem with CG in movies however it should be tastefully done and not relied upon heavily, take for instance Kill Bill, they manage to interlace a Anime chapter into the movie and it's pretty much seamless and it is one of the most effecting parts of the movie, just because it isn't a few "real" actors acting off one another doesn't make it any less interesting or genuine. I think it is really down to how good the movie maker is and how much the movie revolves around the CG.

I have yet to see the new Hulk movie but the size of the Hulk would not have been possible without CG, Lou Ferringo was not 15ft tall after all. However the plot of the movie is crap and the CG is not what led to the apparent lameness of that movie. Take the CG in the first Matrix movie, just subtle and interesting enough so it wasn't overly showey and annoying. That's more or less how it should be done.
