Doesn't live up to the 2009 Film

Rating: 4/10 (24 May 2013)

From the get go, yes it explodes into action, smack dab in the middle rather then starting from the beginning, but what they are doing has little to with anything other then make a small point, which later isn't fleshed out well.
Who is Kahn? Where did he come from? Why does he have super human powers? Why is he evil? What are the circumstances of his creation! This all would better fill the void that seems missing(flash backs at the end of the film where you discover why he is evil -would have been better. _Rather then build on the complete make over of the first film, the second has a much more generic, goofy, campy feel of the original Star trek films. Unlike the 2009 version which brought in trekkies/ sci-fi fans, and many many more. They could have pushed it, but instead applied the brakes. If you are a fan of stupid humor, you might not notice any of this. If you are an indie art house film buff- you most definitely will. I was expecting a bigger n better movie- but this feels like *Spock meets urban youth and lets save a whale!*
_it was pointless to see Alice Eve in her bra and panties- Seriously "I'm changing don't turn around" (then 2 second pause on her beautiful body. _pointless because it should not have been written in the script- it was unnecessary, and told you this script is weak so lets see some semi nudity!!! to cover up the fact this movie sucks, and the audience is stupid they won't notice. The first 30 mins had too many lame attention getters, bad writing that wasn't funny, like this and continued through out the movie. It was a disappointment to say the least. Wish i had opted for Ironman 3 instead.
