skyjedi2005 said:The way this movie is they could have just as easily cast Hayden as Kirk. You got the same angst thing going on, retarded.
Hayden Christensen canadian like William Shatner.
Why did they not get somebody who knew what the hell they were doing, this is worse, far worse than anything Berman ever did.
Yeah, but the thing Abrams is trying to Destroy Star Trek and Hayden Christensen even with his bad acting is more true to the William Shatner/kirk mold.
Young William Shatner Hayden Christensen
I don't like Hayden Christensen, but he is a far better fit for a young James T. Kirk then Chris Pine. Hayden Christensen especially fits the young bookworm professor Lieutenant Kirk that Gary Mitchell talks about in the episode Where No Man Has Gone Before.

Chris Pine is a classic Californian spoiled poser brat and his type are a dime a Dozen here in California just like the Zoe Saldana type.
Chris Pine does not fit the the William Shatner mold or the James T. Kirk mold.
Chris Pine does fit.....
The Eddie Munsters mold.

Like I said I don't like Hayden Christensen, but with a better director then Lucas (or Abrams) and with William Shatner aiding him, Hayden Christensen would more likely beat Chris Pine, Even if Chris Pine had the same (better director and William Shatner aiding him).
Hayden Christensen was no Anakin Skywalker just like Brandon Routh was no Superman.
Brandon Routh's Superman was emotionless like....like..... an Vulcan.
Brandon Routh fits the Leonard Nimoy/Spock mold more so then the superman mold.
Brandon Routh's facial features also seem to match Leonard Nimoy facial features better then....
Zachary Quinto.
I know most people think Zachary Quinto looks like Leonard Nimoy, but the truth is he does not.
Zachary Quinto's facial features are not like Leonard Nimoy facial features.

Hayden Christensen as kirk and Brandon Routh as spock seems like a nightmare, but it could have been better than Abrams' casting.
Abrams, himself was a bad choice to director. Hollywood has many good directors who are lifelong fans of star trek, but No They pick a bad b-director like Abrams who is not a star trek fan to director.
Abrams is turning Star Trek into some Dumb eye-Candy Action sci-fi b-movie.
it just shows that Abrams does not understands Star Trek.
Star Trek is NOT Star Wars.
Star Wars is Action and Star Trek is Drama.
Drama (not Action) is the key to good Star Trek.
Drama (not Action) is why TOS,TNG and The Wrath of Khan were good.
This is something Rick Berman and Brannon Braga never fully understooded, but Abrams (also Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman) seems not understand one little bit, nor seem to want to.
