i don't get how this clip is an example of "unnecessary" CGI. the backdrops? the establishing shot inserted after the first few dialogue shots? that's a common technique in film and a welcome change from always starting a scene with the establishing shot, in my opinion. as for "drawn-out exposition," i mean, i guess it's a matter of taste how much you can stomach or even enjoy that, but exposition is absolutely nothing new to this series. Tolkien's books and PJ's original trilogy were rife with it, as it is a somewhat necessary "evil" in trying to communicate the details and happenings of a world that is foreign to the audience. take, for instance, a movie like Inception. absolutely loaded with exposition, but again, somewhat necessary so that Nolan could give us all the haps for this complex vision he had of dream-sharing in a way that was coherent and made at least some sort of sense. P.S. heck, in The Hobbit there's whole sections where characters are just telling other characters what happened to them, like when Gandalf and the dwarves tell Bilbo what happened to them after they lost him in the mountains. at least we won't have that kind of exposition in the movies as we'll just get to see what PJ and company imagined happening.
