Why are Star Trek fans so bitter about the reboot?

Mixed as I feel about bringing back Khan, I think they did work to give him a more reasonable motivation for what he was doing.

And I think Cumberbatch brought many of his Cumberbi-----, uh, Cumberpeople, with him to the theaters. I liked him better than Nero.

Nero as a villain was definitely the weak link of that film for me. His motivation was sort of cool, but the execution wasn't there -- and I'm not blaming Eric Bana, he's a good actor. He just didn't have a lot to work with.

Kirk did that because he's Kirk. That's the way he rolls.
