Article mentioned the CGI characters in Rogue One, but those ruined the movie for me, among other reasons. For one I think I've seen better graphics in video games and while I concede it must have been the contrast between real and fake, what really pissed me off is the realization that either they lacked the imagination to come up with a credible alternative story or that this was some sort of sinister "fan service".

The other thing that pissed me off is that in Rogue One, like in other recent movies, nobody is kissing anymore, but people dying of violent deaths is totally OK.

The primary reason for why Hollywood is having problems is because they make really shitty movies, full of CGI but with no story. I can even understand the violent deaths, after all, given the lack of story, you can't relate to those characters, so they might as well die spectacularly, before the audience dies of boredom.

Oh yes, I'm not from the US, so not sure what audience they are targeting, but it ain't me. I like some kissing to go with my action.
