3 words: Benedict Goddamn Cumberbatch

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2013)

I have always quite liked star trek.
Unfortunately, I have never been a big fan of reboots I usually feel that it in no way develops the characters any further, and more often than not, this is the case.
So, it was when I first watched Star Trek: Into Darkness that I realized the potential reboots can really have.
The story was enthralling, the film score was bombastic and the visual effects! It was an amazing experience.
But by far the real highlight of ST was Benedict Goddamn Cumberbatch. For the uninformed, Benedict Cumberbatch plays Khan Noonien Singh (is that how you spell his name?) a being who is 'better in every way.'
And that isn't an exaggeration, he is better. Not just in combat, agility and mental focus, but also in: Ability to wear a trench coat and totally pull it off, Hair and voice.
However i did notice a moment where khan acted rather stupidly.
He (SPOILERS) was gunning down the big wigs at star fleet in a helicopter and only managed to kill like one guy before being taken down by Kirk.
Really Kahn? You are a man who can easily (SPOILERS)crush the bones of 20 odd Klingon warriors without breaking a sweat. Is it just me or would he have kicked more ass WITHOUT A HELICOPTER!
Anyway just a thought. Forgive any rookie mistakes in this review as this is my first one.
Thanks!
