What moments in the movie reminded you of Shatner

At the very end, when Kirk was finally in his gold uniform, he walks across the bridge and says "Bones!" Everything was perfectly Shatriffic about that simple one word delivery.
There were other good Shatner-esque moments, but that one kind gave me a little bit of a chill.
 
^I agree, that was Shatner-like. It's one of the very few times that I felt a hint of TOS.
on top of that, just the whole walk that pine did walking to the chair, and then sitting in the chair and crossing his legs just like shatner would do sitting in the chair. that whole scene gave me goosebumps.
 
Just after he beams aboard with Scotty - he grins, and says "Mr Scott!" (or something similar) just before realizing he's in a pipe. Very Shatneresque delivery.
 
Early on when he flirts with Uhura by making a silly face while looking past her.
 
I just love Chris Pine he absolutely was fantastic as Kirk
I agree, he did a great job as Kirk. I hope he is in the next movie, because nobody else could pull it off like he did! Anyways, there are many scenes he did that kind of remind me of Shatner when he did Kirk. For example: "Bones" "Take us out" "I don't belive in no win sicneros"

When I saw the thread title I immediately thought of that. I even had the same goosebumps. They jumped off your arm and crawled all over mine.
 
I thought the scene just before Kirk and Spock are to beam to the Narada, and Kirk leans over the transporter console and gives instructions to Sulu was a very Shatner-Kirk moment.
 
As Pine's character matures and realizes that this is not a game, he progressively becomes more like Shat.

When Captain Pike is gone and McCoy points out the there is is no first officer to replace him, Kirk then takes the captains chair, that was the semi-cocky Shatner moment.

That why Kirk was made captain of the Enterprise, in a moment of crisis, while other looked at their consoles, he took charge.
 
I agree with both Kirby and M'Sharak. The way Kirk told Spock not to worry about the odds, that it would work was very Shatnerific. And the entire end scene, Kirk walking the bridge, talking to the crew, the way he looked around, sat, everything.
