Really, the people who didn't like the movies for some reason need to stop putting words into everybody's mouth. I know it's not perfect, I know it's very different, this Abrams world, and Abrams himself has given us every reason to hate him, but gods, the movies are amazing! They're creating a new generation all about the Star Trek fans, showing them what Starfleet and the characters and the technology are about! As soon as you stop comparing it, which is in the end a useless thing to do, you appreciate it for what it is, and it's a damn good story! The performances are great, the effects are awesome, and you learn about the importance of life and diversity of species across the universe working together! Please stop saying all fans are disappointed or hate it just because you hate it, I love both of Abrams movies and I have enough brains to separate them from his insufferable declarations sometimes, and I like him well enough when he's leading a great group of young actors to make more movies like these and not saying he's not doing it for the fans or some shit like that. New director, wow, surprising. Wow. I hope we can keep up the great work and take the franchise in a great path! Now I'm gonna go watch my Into Darkness DVD again, bye bye.

I didn't like Star Trek Into Darkness. I don't blame actors or directors. I blame the writers and how far the Star Trek series has drifted from its original inception. I loved Joe Cronish's Attack The Block, and I'm not sure why there is so much anger towards this decision. I'm just happy to see the guy is getting bigger gigs.

"For many, the goodwill from J.J. Abrams' mostly-very-good "Star Trek" reboot dissipated quickly with this summer's sequel, "Star Trek Into Darkness.""

Who? For all the talk of how no one liked Into Darkness there's very little evidence to support that general audiences nor critics were hugely disappointed. Just look at the film's score on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. Fanboys were just about the only ones who claimed that it sucked, and I see no reason to take vocal (and quite frankly petty) minorities as representatives of a film's overall reception.

I see all the flaws in the film and I still loved Star Trek Into Darkness. I really did. One thing I did not understand is how Benedict Cumberbatch had to eat 4,000 calories a day to play John Harrison/Khan but Chris Pine looked like he drank a pint of Guinness each morning.

Why isn't JJ Abrams going to direct? Ooooohhhhh, I remember…. The Star Trek/Star Wars thing. Sorry, but I'm picky about my beloved sci-fi franchises touching each other.

I think this is an exciting choice. Attack the Block was a hell of a debut, full of energy and balls, I can't wait to see what he does here.

Joe Cornish is a bloody load of old rubbish, he couldn`t direct a good film if his bloody life depended on it ! ! !.

"Attack the Block" was an appalling film, totally unwatchable, it would have shamed "The Childrens Film Foundation" in 1968 ! ! !.

No. Most of the JJ cast (and certainly the lousy writers Orci, Lindelof, Kurtzman) must go. Dean Parisot (who did the hilarious Galaxy Quest) is the obvious choice – he's arguably already done the best Trek movie. Cornish they could get cheap, that is all.

Cool choice. But yeah, no point in going to see it whilst Kurtzman and Orci are still hammering away at the keyboard.

This could be good as long as he gets some input on the script side. He's at his best when he's writing something as well.
Also, forget the song, be sure to have a quick, small cameo of Adam in the movie.

I approve. But the writers are a real problem. He should write it also.

Cornish is such a douche.
