Benedict's performance in STID was brilliant! It was the best movie I have seen in a while The first time I saw it I wasn't a Trekkie fan, the only reason I saw it was because Benny was in it Then I began to watch more and more of it and I fell in love with it. Benny was the best villain I have ever seen The one scene when he is in the jail is beautiful, "Is there anything you wouldn't do for your family?" I loved that!! And Benny's ability to cry on queue is brilliant!!! The way he carried himself throughout the movie showed that he had power and strength. The ending fight scene with Spock was excellent and I loved how John Harrison isn't indestuctible, Spock was able to beat him. I am also so glad that they didn't kill him I hope to see him in another Star Trek movie, probably not this one, but maybe the next one I can't wait till the movie will be out on DVD, I'll probably watch it everyday just to see Benny's face Also that one part where he crushes Marcus' head, the first time I saw that I was like "Okay." Then when I saw it again I couldn't help but smile I loved STID and I could watch it a thousand times and never get tired of it Benny's performance was magnificent!!!! Live Long and Prosper. Keep Khan and Kling On.

People keep saying that they shouldn't bring Benedict in the next movie, but to wait a skip one or even two before having his character re-introduced. The problem is that given time gaps between the movies, the next one will be probably in 3 years (2016, 50th anniversary of ST) and the one after it (if they will make it) around 2019-2020. I am not saying that BC will be too old to play a kick ass by then, but still...

I don't get why people think it's a bad idea... I'd love to see Benedict in the next Star Trek movie

According to Zachary, they're filming 3 next year and it won't take as long to film as 2.  I definitely want to see Benedict in it...preferabl;y in very close contact with Zachary( sorry, I'll shut up and go away now!)

Oh, I see we have a Spockson shipper here. 

Yay!

Just got back from seeing it again. 
I have been a Trekkie all my life but this is the first movie where I spend my time going, when can we get back to the bad guy!

Sweet dreams for me!

You know when I watched Reichenbach again last night...it ws the 1st time I really saw John Harrison in Sherlock: on the Bart's roof scene.

Dayum. Alright, I am going to have to break down and just watch it (RB) again. That is just a mind-blowing idea...

Good film. Benedict was brilliant.

I'm reading all the 15 pages of this topic but if I wait to finish to post it will take forever (I'm at work so I have to read between different tasks)

I didn't know (almost) anything about Star Trek until a few months ago when I decided to watch the first JJ Abrams film so I wouldn't be totally clueless when STID was released... and I loved it. I couldn't believe I hadn't seen it on the theater when it came out in 2009 because I truly enjoyed and I even bought the Bluray to watch it every time I wanted. I especially loved Zachary Quinto's Spock and his bromance with Kirk. And for the first time in very long time I started shipping a m/f couple, Spock/Uhura. 

So, as I said when I introduced myself, I live literally at the world's end. That means that STID only opened last Thursday (August 15th) in this fogotten corner of the galaxy  

O.M.G.

Benedict. In 3D. 

The hair. The body. The voice. Did I mentioned THE BODY?

I liked the movie. A lot. It was fun and it had a lot of Spock which I loved. But BENEDICT!!! He is in another league completely. He is so scary! I mean, Benny, the nicest person ever. It's scary! And he didn't have those many lines but when he speaks... the world stops and listens. 

As someone mentioned before the biggest confrontation isn't between Kirk and Khan but between Spock and Khan. I think that's due two reasons: 1) Spock is a much more intelligent and deeper character than Kirk and 2) Zachary Quinto is a more talented actor than Chris Pine and his performance has a lot more weight's than Pine's. 

So, yeah, loved the movie and the Bluray is already pre-ordered but I can't belive JJ cut the best scene of the film:



Now I will continue reading your posts. Mrs. Watson out.

The reboot is not going to stop me from watching any future Star Trek movies--epecially if Benedict appears again!--but it might take me a long time to get used to the new order in the universe. 

 I say we just have a John Harrison spin off:

♥♥♥ Awwwwwww!! ♥♥♥

Ahaha, it's an amazing picture indeed.
But I can only think of: 

Khan: Because I am better.
Kirk: At what?
Khan: Everything.
John: And that's as modest as he gets!

hahahahahahahahahahaha
