Because it's untrustworthy.  It gave King Kong an 84%, for heaven's sake.

Movie critics are scum.
How dare they give it such a low score! :mad:
I finally saw that movie. or part of it at least. had to change the channel it sucked so bad.
Your taste in movies is worse than Hive's.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

None of which is to say this isn't a good sci fi flick, it might well be. I'm just not sure how it could be a good Star Trek flick.
I don't care if it's a good sci fi flick if it's a good film. 

Which is completely fair. I have a hard time getting past the name of the movie (and the names of the characters), plain and simple.

Oh, and I also have a hard time with how fucking goofy Zachary Quinto looks as a vulcan. Does that bug anyone else?

He did look pretty weird. And that voice just isn't right.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Wrong.  You're a fanboy.

I don't think I've actually heard him talk in any of the trailers I've seen. Is he trying to do a Nimoy impression and failing?

It's also funny how DeForest Kelly was always a skinny guy with a slight stoop, not even a little bit imposing.  On the other hand, the new McCoy could tear the rest of the cast limb from limb like they were a bunch of Uruk-hai.

To give him some benefit of the doubt though....how in the hell do you fill Leonard Nimoys shoes?

The obvious answer is you don't try. Of course, that's kind of my thought on recasting all these parts, it's always struck me as a bad idea. Nobody's going to out-Shatner Shatner, for example.

That said it's less that he doesn't look like Nimoy (which I wouldn't expect) than that he just looks odd in that make up in my opinion. As I said I haven't heard him speak in character, so I can't comment on that part.

Well he does have practice at it.
