A re-boot that gives fans the boot...BAD!

To all trekkies: do.not.watch.it!
I am not kidding You. To fans of the original series, this convoluted bit of uninspired, half- ripped-off just-to-make-money, cinematography will feel like a kick in the teeth.
Yes,it has some neat action scenes, the Enterprise is there, and Spock and Mc Coy are half-way recognizable..buuut....
Kirk is an atrocity, and an insulting one at that. He's reduced to a bar-brawling nincompoop with an annoying swagger. No trace of the brains, and charm, that the original Kirk more often than not, showed. He's just an annoying, reckless ADHD toddler, that should be kept as far away from a billion dollar exploration vessel, as possible. He succeeded in actually making me HATE a character. Quite a feat, because I tend to forget characters that are wrong somehow.
Spock, on the other hand, played very well by the ex- "Heroes" bad guy, (sortof bad-guy, to be honest) comes off as half-way decent, despite the crappy role the script forces him in.
His relation with Uhura was a nice refreshing bit, and there could have been done more with that, but it got swept aside by the TOTALLY, UNABASHED, HORRENDOUS, CONVOLUTED plot. ("Timetravel" fracking "TIMETRAVEL"!! Sheesh! THE tool for inept writers of "sci-fi" What a crock! Re-boot, my furry rear.)
I'll never fathom why they choose to make Kirk, quite the pivotal, and charming character in TOS, the irritating git he is in this piece of (nasty expletive) movie.
This puerile load of junk is the ultimate middle-finger, with the compliments of JJ. A. He arrogantly even boasted he never saw TOS...whaddayaknow.. It shows! Congrats. We now know You loathe fans of the original series.
All in all, when not acquainted with TOS, or Voyager, DS 9 et al, it might be a nice popcorn piece, totally forgettable, but knowing the brand and THEN watching this is about as enjoyable as a root-canal....without anesthesia...while someone pushes sharp pieces of wood under your toe-nails. Thát bad.
It's brainless, empty, devoid of the characterizations and dilemma's that made it's predecessors so intriguing, it's insulting, etc. Etc.
Avoid it like the plague if You are even the slightest into the original series, or Voyager, or Enterprise, for that matter.
