All the build up to this movie said "this ain't yer stinking father's Star Trek" and that it would be the most edgy, racy COOL Star Trek yet. There was suggestion that there would be a LOT more sex and violence then before, but what did we get?
Kirk didn't even have sex! Yes, he got to rub up against that HOT curvy orion girl (and congrats on JJ for casting a "larger woman" in his movie!) but then the lights came on they were both in their underwear! Maybe there's some weird sexual fetish in the future where people have sex still wearing their underwear but I doubt it. This scene could have been so much more. At the VERY LEAST we should have seen the orion's sexy naked breasts on screen. That would have shown that it isn't your father's Star Trek!!
Also when Uhura came in she could have stroked the orion's arm in a sensual way while Kirk watched.
Speaking of Uhura, we should have seen A LOT more of her and Spock. Where was the passion? All we saw was that weird bit on the transporter pad where we hardly even saw what they were doing to each other as the camera was on Kirk's reaction! There should ahve been a sex scene between Spock and Uhura where they talked about Pon Farr and human sex and stuff and that could have given heir relationship more depth as well as being sexy. I think one must have been recorded and cut actually and that's why them being together seem so sudden so hopefully it'll be on the DVD.
As far violence, it was just like tv! Hardly any blood, just lots of punches and phasers and stuff. Six billion Vulcans APPARENTLY died in agonry but we didn't even see one of them! We didn't even see Amanda's body broken on the rock's far below after Chekov fucked up and let her die! Nero's death was disappointing too, we should have seen a close-up of his face as the ship burned and possibly his skin melting.
It seems Trek still isn't ready to grow up and still wants to be suitable for kiddies.
