Flirting with old trek movies

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2013)

I don't get it, why so many original trek fans hate this movie? In my opinion it was good, yes even better than prequel. Why? Well here we had some classic star trek good moral values, began with the enterprise saving a planet, Kirk going against the starfleet rules because he wanted to save his friend. And of course Khaaan! Benedict Cumberbatch does a splendid job portraying this intelligent and evil character, and bows to the old Khan. Into darkness has to it's funny moments, specially thanks to scotty's adventures. But Into Darkness has the same problem as so many movies today, overwhelmed with effects, yes so much that your are lost for a while from the story. And boxing fights? That doesn't simply belong to Trek, specially Spock vs Khan in ending could have been made to a classical phaser against phaser battle, or better Khan vs Spock&co. That's how a classic Trek would end.
