No comment on the Star Trek Movies themselves... just the critics, and Rotten Tomatoes/ IMDB
Payola is in full effect. I don't trust the critic reviews anymore.. anyone can be a critic, its not a small field anymore. I generally trust the NY, Chicago & LA Times, Variety, Time Magazine, USA Today... maybe a few others...
When someone says "Well it got a Rotten Tomatoes Fresh Rating of, blah, blah, blah" It makes me laugh... because thats just a part of the advertising game. The only way you will know if a film is good, is by seeing it. And Someone will most likely disagree with you.
