But it feels to me--and to many of us, it seems--that it could've been so much more.
That was essentially what I said upon leaving the movie the first time. Admittedly I was also bummed because the way people I had been telling me that I "would love Sulu in the movie" was, I thought, a sign that he'd be in it more, or do something than sitting, and I felt like I'd been led totally astray.
I've since seen it again, after all the airing of everyone's grievances, the race thing, the plot fail, the lazy writing, my lack of Sulu, etc. And I liked it pretty well. But it isn't the movie I waited for.
