Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Suddenly my attention was captured..
The Star Trek reboot a few years ago was a pleasant surprise, fun, fresh, an enjoyable Sci-Fi flick that didn't take it's self to seriously, so I have to admit I was looking forward to the second instalment.
Sadly we're back in Star Trek territory for the Trekky. Kirk runs around chasing the ladies and disobeying orders, Chekov is the most serious Eastern European in space, Scotty the most Scottish Scot in space, and as for Spock, don't get me wrong, his portrayal by Zachary Quinto is spot on (Spock on?) but Christ what an annoying character, I would have left that pointy eared fella to fry on that Volcano at the first chance.
I don't want to sound harsh, this isn't a bad movie, if you're a Sci-Fi fan or Trekky you will love it, but for me it's just a Star Trek film that ticks the boxes the fans would want and nothing else.
