It's not the bold new reworking everyone thinks it is, it's just an average Star Trek film full of the usual flaws just as TPM was an average Star Wars film with much of the same problems that Jedi had (only without the great OT cast to pull it along).

Well said. Way too many people are going way too ga-ga over it, I think. And I bet a lot of those people are young-ish. Once the hype settles down, I'm sure a lot of people will see that it's not a great film. Decent, yes, but far from great.

Reminds me of when my brother came out of the theater after Transformers and said that was the best movie he'd ever seen. Absolute nonsense, and I'm sure he'd laugh now if I told him he'd said that.
