Not at all, just that they should really consider the benefits of using that facet of special effects for certain sequences, or whether or not it really adds anything. We are the toughest critics so if it's needed (like in the new Spiderman 3 movie), it better look good. My favorite CGI sequence in fact goes back to that reflective water snake alien creature (lots of words there) in The Abyss.
