Am I the only one who finds Chris Pine to be even more obnoxious and annoying than Hayden in Trek 2009?
Yeah they were going for the same James Dean thing Lucas wanted with Hayden.
Ironic that Chris Pine has a future in hollywood and Hayden pretty much peaked in popularity with the prequels and then since then he is a favorite of star wars oot fans to hate.
Hayden like Shatner is canadian. If he was not in star wars and he could act he would not have been a bad Captain Kirk.lol. Well he could have done the sullen and creepy act and whiny. While Pine does the douchebag stuck up asshole jerk thing perfectly. I mean was he was playing the Kirk ego a bit much over the top. Was he playing Kirk or Shatner some would say.
The way he objectifies Uhura in the bar scene was discusting and sexist. She should have kicked his ass this is the 23rd century not the early 20th century.
They also saw fit to advertise Budweiser in the bar scene a bit too much like Michael Bay there.
This was the Trek cliffnotes version filtered through a fratboy sensibility, american pie and Kevin Smith and a load of horse shit imho. A good action film. But the dialogue in some scenes by Orci was plain out retarded.
Hopefully in the next movie the characters will have some depth and there will be a story without the not necessary infantile humor and jokes.
Abrams is a capable director if he would leave out the lens flares and shaky cam. But the writers i feel should be someone other than the guys who wrote transformers. They brought the same sensibility to Trek they did with that and i hate that. I hate the overall stupid humor put in their for 12 year olds. Just as much as the over the top sillyness was put in Crystal Skull .
