Why are Star Trek fans so bitter about the reboot?

One of the problems I had with ST09 is that he became Captain too quickly. He didn't do enough to earn it. The second movie wisely picked up on this and showed how immature he still was at the beginning. Throughout the movie he learned what it truly means to be a captain and by the end, I felt he finally earned it. Great story arc for his character.

Bana was AMAZING. Totally disappeared into the part. Not the most three dimensional character sure, but Bana made it work.
