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.

Uh, actually, I think Quinto looks much more like Nimoy than Routh does. Even if the facial features aren't an exact match, they look much closer to Nimoy than Routh's does.

YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A REBOOT OF THE ENTIRE SERIES. IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT, BECAUSE THE LATEST STAR TREK HAD BECOME STALE IN THE EYES OF THE STUDIOS NOT NECESSARILY IN THE EYES OF THE FANS. WHEN YOU DO A REBOOT YOU WASH AWAY ALL THAT CAME BEFORE. IT'S A HARD THING FOR FANS TO DO, BUT THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. NOBODY IS FORCING ANYONE TO GO SEE THE REBOOT. THAT'S YOUR CHOICE ALONE.

The reboot doesn't have to completely change the story though. It could easily be a reboot that goes back to its roots. The Batman reboot didn't completely change the story and that turned out great. If the studio wants a different Trek, then I'm sure they'll get it. Without the hardcore fans though, it's not going to go anywhere. Remember, in order to get the "normals" into the box office, their Trek fan friends will have to bring them. Otherwise it's just going to be regular folks saying "Well, that's Star Trek, and I'm not really into that".

EDIT: Something I forgot to mention. So I'm watching the trailer and the cop asks the kid what his name is. Now I don't know about you guys, but when someone asks me my name, I tend to leave out my middle name. I know it's obviously there to tell us exactly who he is, but was the middle name really necessary? I think a simple "James Kirk" or even "Jim Kirk" would have been fine.
