<font color="#ff00cc">Sorry to disagree with you Krusty [img]smile.gif[/img] but I liked Nemesis too. It wasn't a block buster but it was entertaining and kept my attention. WoK was ok, but it was not anything above and beyond First Contact or even Nemesis. If you could explain to me why you think it was sooooo great I would appreciate it as I must have missed something the first 10 times I have viewed it.
It's classic trek! No trek movie before or after captured the essence of classic trek so effectively. Ricardo had a brilliant performance and the space combat scenes had perfect pacing. Kirk also suffered a blistering humiliation, it showed he was human - not like the TNG films where you have characters like Wesley Crusher, the superkid to always save the day.

I don't disagree that Nemesis was entertaining, it just wasn't a particularly good film and I likely won't revisit it too many times.

If you can't tell, I'm definitely in the Classic Trek Is Best crowd.

Yes WoK was "classic" Trek, and TNG had its share of problems but Wesley has not been in any of the movies. At least TNG had decent special effects and a budget...Classic trek had neither. I like both series but for different reasons. </font>
