Do you sometimes find movies better than games in general?

Back in the day, the Wing Commander series was all about hiring actors to portray the storyline between gameplay. Now, it's all cgi cut scenes that I bypass most of the time because they are so redundant. Still have those games somewhere....

the problem is not that cutscenes are cgi, the problem is that the writing/directing/delivery in most games is just terrible

I agree, I think that the CGI leads to that.  THe CGI requires tons of work to put together and by the end of it, it's too late to try and bring back or put passion into it.  If a real person cut scene doesn't "feel" right after a take, they can watch it and redo it on the spot.  I would thin that as games become more and more lifelike, you could insert live action into this stuff without so much obvious change.  Maybe not even this next gen yet though.
