Yeah, I have to admit. Though I was against it before, once I found myself having to put up with how annoying Kirk is in this film, I loved every second of him getting knocked around by Spock.

To say a few good things about the movie, I really liked the new uniforms. They managed to make them feel more modern, and yet still strongly resemble those from TOS.

Yeah, he's not a terribly likable guy, which I guess is the point. We're not really supposed to like him. He is being somewhat humbled as the film goes on. Particularly where Uhura is concerned. It's an ego blow when he realizes Spock is her guy. I suppose we'll see him grow into the Kirk we know in the next film. I thought it was nice character growth to see him say he would be honored to have Spock on the crew.

And a +1 to the black shirts. Very nice. I also agree on the uniforms being updated as opposed to complete re-dos with no resemblance to the originals - also well done.
