I just can't go into a "Star Trek" film expecting that. If I want that, I'll see a Jason Statham or 007 movie. Those films know stay within the parameters of their genre and succeed on their own terms. If Star Trek tries to ply that territory, it just seems unnecessary and awkward. I wouldn't agree with you that "First Contact" was the only good Star Trek film, but I will agree that it was among the best.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125677714330767458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351306725040869389.post-2004821584184692562013-06-03T20:34:17.641-07:002013-06-03T20:34:17.641-07:00There is no reason why Cumberbatch's villain w...There is no reason why Cumberbatch's villain would have a British accent. And you make many valid points.<br /><br />But, for whatever reason, these things didn't bother me. I was more bothered by Zefram Cochrane's portrayal in the only good TNG movie, "First Contact" or the "Klingon" assassin in "The Undiscovered Country" theatrical version having red blood. I went into "Darkness" expecting a thrilling roller coaster and that's just what I got. But I really think that if we want good Star Trek, we're gonna need a TV series to make it so.PopeZaphodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881674918856827330noreply@blogger.com
