I finally decided to watch ST: Into Darkness. I watched it with a completely open-mind, even though I love the old movies and knew this was getting some flak. Overall, to me it felt like a lazy rehash of The Wrath Of Khan. Everything they borrowed, they did worse. Not only that, but the way the whole movie went together was so disjointed. Now I understand why so many people felt let down by it. It was more of a sci-fi action movie, than it was a Star Trek one.
Meh...Star Trek movies have basically been generic sci-fi action movies since 1994. IMO, the major difference between the J. J. Trek movies and Star Trek VII-X is that now they're at least watchable sci-fi action movies.
I'm not totally bashing JJ's involvement with Star Trek. The first 2009 movie is pretty damn good in my opinion. It just felt nothing like the standard set with the 2009 movie in terms of the plot and the way the film unfolded. There's no denying it was a decent action sci-fi movie, just not a great Star Trek one.
I can see why JJ is more suited for Star Wars, in terms of comfort zone.
