Kirk Sucked!

^ Do you think TFF felt more like a long episode and less like an epic movie, the way Generations did?

Generations felt like an epic movie?!

More like epic-ly boring

I was generalizing.

I liked the movie, but a lot of people think it felt more like a long episode.

I think that he meant: Like Generations, TFF felt more like a long episode, not an epic movie.

I do think that DeForest Kelley gave one one of his best performances as McCoy in this movie and Leonard Nimoy played a Spock with a certain kind of warmth that still fit the character. And Shatner himself was channeling in the Kirk from the TV series, but one that matured over the years and had mellowed a bit from his experiences...

I definitely agree about DeForest Kelley -- he elevated what he was given. I can't say the same, though, about Nimoy and Shatner -- they seem off. Shatner, as I mentioned before, seems really off on Kirk in the brig scene -- to some extent, he's almost bringing in Kirk from "A Piece of the Action," which is a weird choice for the scene. Nimoy seems uncomfortable with the "humor" most of the time, and it shows in his portrayal of Spock.

I thought it was more of a case that Spock was still dealing with the issue of having been resurrected, so that he wouldn't have been the same Spock as before.

But I think Kirk was generally going through something of a mid-life crisis in Star Trek V (free-climbing El Capitan?), but then the movie was kind of showing the big three as overall being older men and having the scars from life to prove it, IMO...

Perhaps, but it was perhaps a bit too much "Grumpy Old Men" in space.
