We didn't much care for this Star Trek either... seemed one long big car chase, and the jokes were forced. The first one was superior, and had they really been thinking they'd have turned this into a series like Mad Men. That way, they could have had subtler plots and character development, multiple adventures, and a longer time to develop them. They wouldn't have been forced to push so much into a two hour time slot. Think how Kahn might have developed over time. Spock and Uhura's unlikely romance could have seemed more likely. Plus, you forget the characters. You love them at the time, but three years later they look just a little older and... thicker.
Looking forward to World's End. What did people think of Oblivion?
