5. That is a bit strong

I personally agree that he has bastardized Star Trek and turned it into something it wasn't supposed to be. The last two films were trainwrecks. I can't even express how offended I was by the second movie. It showed so little imagination that I wanted to cry. I wanted Cumberbatch to be Kirk's friend Gary Mitchell (the prime version who apparently died at Kirk prime's hands). He would have been unimaginably powerful as his tele- abilities advanced on the edge of the galaxy. He followed Spock prime into the Kelvin timeline.

Wouldn't that have been a much better story than what we got (a bastardized rehash of Wrath of Khan).

Cumberbatch looks a lot more like Gary Lockwood than Ricardo Montalbán.
