Why do people complain so much about CGI in movies?

because if overused it often gives the film an inauthentic feel.

Because anyone can use CGI to make something on their computer and it is found profusely in other forms of entertainment (such as video games), so it lacks the artistic merit involved in doing it as a live action. Maybe we should get rid of actors and sets completely and just have everything CGI with voice actors. Would you think that was just as good and be willing to shell out movie ticket prices to see? Or perhaps we could have synthetic voices so that we don't need the voice actors.

Sure, there is some art involved with making a film using CGI, but depending on it is a crutch. CGI is a tool and should be used to enhance a film and not overwhelm it.
