Only one thing for me and that was Nero saying "Hi Christopher, I'm Nero."

Fleet Captain
Because he saved his crew and Pike so that's why he was probably promoted
That was a pretty lame delivery, I agree.
I can see what the intent was. After this intense battle, where Nero destroys a significant portion of the fleet, he was supposed to seem sociopathic. The space equivalent of a man breaking into a house, murdering everyone who lives there, then going to the kitchen, making himself a nice meal, turning on the TV, and enjoying a nice chat on the phone, as if nothing happened.
However, in a visual fiction medium like a fantasy film, one needs to give visual cues. In other words, in a book you can write "he is unhinged." In nonfiction, you would expect textbook psychological responses, with no candy coating. But in a movie like this, you expect some twitch, some expression, some larger than life dramatic indication that he has lost it—something to visually explain that he is disconnected. That was missing from Bana's delivery of that line.
There's a few other cringe-worthy moments in the movie for me, but that would definitely be one of them. He sounds like a really whiny six-year-old or Pike's interior decorator.
I actually liked this line. IMO, it showed that Nero was not a military man, with all the protocol and bluster it entails. He was just a blue-collar miner. It also showed that he was confident in his power, so he did not need bravado.
Nero shouting Khaaaaan... I mean Spooook.
Not good.
Kirk not removing Gaila's bra in the love making scene. Lame.
Kirk's promotion at the end. I'm not too crazy about it.

Nero places Spock on a planet (moon) close enough to vulcan to watch it's destruction, okay. After vulcan is sucked in the red matter, the Enterprise warp out of orbit to join another fleet, several minutes later Kirk ejects in a life pod, he lands back on the planet near where vulcan was. The pod is to small to carry a warp drive, how? Also Spock knew Nero was planing something, maybe lacking in details,we're talking about Spock here, he would of quickly figured out where he was, that there was a federation out post, and also vulcan sites on a body so near to vulcan, what was he sitting around for. Both of those as I was seated in the theater.

Liked that, too. It was so friendly and at odds with the situation that it worked for me.
He has, actually. Look back to just after the first weekend of the movie's general release for a thread Gep started, and in which he presented a pretty thorough and reasoned summary, based on several viewings, of the reasons he found for not liking Star Trek. I only wish that all of the negative reviews had been as fair and well-mannered as his.
More like it's Mom was a Horta and it's Dad was a Ewok...
(...can't ya jest picture one of them little suckers humpin' the Hell out of a Boulder...)
That would make him a E-Wrock...
The Kobiyashi scene, as commented by several others.
There's actually a pocket fiction book on the various characters reactions to that test, and the book's version is far better. Kirk reprogrammed the simulator so that when he hailed them, they automatically stood down.
"THE Captain James Kirk"... was the Klingon response.
Much more interesting, not arrogant, not destructive, and the test-watchers were completely fooled.

The entire "Cadet Kirk gets First Officer, gets thrown of the ship in an escape pod, happens to find old Spock, returns, makes Spock mad, gets Captain, kills the bad guy, gets fully promoted to Captain passing EVERY rank in 3 days" stuff makes me have epileptic seizures, not simple cringing.
Was the supernova threatening the entire galaxy already mentioned?
Kirk executing Nero with Spock's approval.

Yeah, I would've made him first officer and then make the 2nd film about him assuming command because Pike dies or something.
And unless Abrams pays royalty fees it's intellectual theft.
