I don't think William Shatner did that bad of a job directing the actors.

This is true, however Shatner should never be allowed to direct himself in anything ever again. I can't remember which part it was precisely, but there was one moment during the film that made me laugh out loud because Shatner just overdid it so much. I know he's never been known for being a great actor by any means, .

You obviously aren't up to date with recognition he's received for Boston Legal. Won one Gloden Globe for Boston Legal and one Emmy. Nominated for three other Emmies for Boston Legal. Won another Emmy for playing the same character on The Practice. Nominated for Screen Actors' Guild award for Boston Legal.

Um ... I watch[ed] Boston Legal. I enjoyed it very much. And I don't think Shatner deserved any of those awards, as his performance as Denny Crane was just as overacted as anything else he's ever done. That's not to say I didn't love every second he was on screen - I just don't think his performance was award-worthy.

And just because someone wins awards for acting doesn't immediately mean they're a good actor, which is something that's a matter of opinion anyway. That's like attacking me for hating Million Dollar Baby because it won the Oscar for Best Picture.

--edit--

And I'm shocked that you defend Shatner's performance while saying Ricardo Montalban's is vomit-worthy. They both over-acted the shit out of their respective roles, but each was enthralling to watch in his own way. I would never have changed a thing about Montalban's performance as Khan, in Space Seed or Wrath of Khan. (I'll never understand how his hair went from black to blonde, but whatever - it's the Saavik eyebrow thing all over again.)
