Its all about the suspension of disbelief.  I knew that the werewolves vampires etc weren't going to be real or probably even costumes so I could accept that they were going to use CGI and on that basis I thought the CGI was good.  Prehaps there were things in the story which they could have changes to cut out the CGI, baby vampires but heck I didn't care that much CGI never really looks 100% real anyway.

As for LOTR sure the you could tell the hobbits were fake in SOME shots but they looked better than the flying Nazguls or the troll.  The orcs were the best by far cos they didn't use CGI.  

The more I think about it the more I reckon people use CGI for the sake of it, take Yoda in Star wars attack of the clones.  He didn't look nearly as good as the puppet Yoda.
