I am totally not offended when people have different opinions on entertainment than me. :D
And yeah, I lurve action movies! And this was definitely an action movie, so. *nod*
Yep, other people disliked the Trek movie. Mostly (from what I've seen, which hasn't been much since I haven't really gone looking for a lot of reactions) the dislike stems from wishing the movie had been a prequel to the actual original series -- expecting that, and being really bummed that instead the movie went an ENTIRELY different direction** (or mangled the legend, depending on how angry the poster is) -- or being really pissed off that the movie had the gall to ship Spock with someone who was not Kirk. :P I've also read some responses where people liked some things but thought the movie was off its rocker in other respects. So, yeah, the fervent love is not universal by far!
** Which I do agree with to a point. They freaking BLEW UP VULCAN. WTF! That's...wrong. So wrong! I just. There is so much involving Vulcan that is integral to all of Star Trek in my mind, and I have trouble imagining that a Trek universe could be at all worthwhile without it. So that required a hell of a paradigm shift for me, but once I compartmentalized that I could be all spazzy 'YAY!' about the rest of the movie.
