Yep, that's how I see it.III isn't my favorite but it is definitely an underrated gem. Trek works best as a fun action/adventure series... and III delivers that in spades. C'mon, Kirk ditched his uniform and throws on a leather jacket, steals the Enterprise, blows it up, beats up a Klingon on an exploding planet, steals the Klingon's ship and everybody flies back to Vulcan for a happy ending.
Fun movie.
