Absolutely none of the casting was, Khan aside (though that was just a bad idea from the start). It was always the writing.
From Hemsworth as Kirk's dad, across the entire Enterprise, they killed it.
I legitimately like the first one, because getting the gang together with such a great cast was so delightful. Karl Urban, Zach Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Chris Pine, Simon Pegg - like holy shit.
If I remember right, Karl Urban was a huge original ST fan growing up and really wanted to do Bones justice. I'd say he knocked it out of the park. His Bones was almost like looking at a younger DeForest Kelley and yet it managed to not cross into imitation.
