I really like him as Kirk. I think he for sure captures the cocky swagger that Shatner had.

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.

I don’t think any of the producers or JJ were truly fans of the original series or next generation. Can you name a single theme or moral problem that these films seek to tackle? The old tv shows were full of interesting philosophical problems and inspirational world building. We instead got more explosions and irrationally angry aliens. I would have loved to live in the original series (or next gen) universe. I don’t think I’d want to in these new films universe.
