The plot went into darkness

Rating: 3/10 (29 June 2013)

*spoiler alert* So had Spock been on board the Enterprise and Kirk inside the volcano, he would have been okay to let Kirk die without beating someone up afterwards (because he himself is the only one who gets to decide?). Now Kirk made the decision to sacrifice himself to save the ship, and Spock went crazy beating Khan? This time he did not even try to curtail his emotions. Does his own entire planet, his mother included, not add up to Kirk?
What kind of message are we sending to the world? -- This is after all an American movie, isn't it? -- That even the most rational of us could and should use violence at times?
I like the first half of the movie; the character of Khan was building up nicely. He could have been told about the survival of his crew and shown his last path and it would have revealed more emotional depth of him. What a waste of character in the end. The movie jumped the shark the moment Kirk began climbing the nuclear core, and it went into the darkness as Spock lost it. I thought I went to see a Sci-Fi movie, a "Star Trek" to be exact; not a Die Hard for crying out loud!
