I concur. Kirk's shirt must be ripped.
Corollary: Will Kirk's chest be hairless?

It should get ripped, and it should be green.
Oh good Lord I hope so. 
SylarSpock as well. And McCoy for that matter.. Abrams seems to be continuing his talent of casting ridiculously hot people with this movie, and he has a good track record with pretty people who can actually act as well which is a plus. 
This is a joke right? Pine has a great body. Lean, if not overly muscly. All we saw most of the time with Shat was a beer keg as he desperately sucked it in. Shat with pecs?! Which version of TOS were you watching? I know they did a lot fixing with the remastered episodes but they didn't go that far.
Here is one reference pic of Pine:

And he has bulked up a bit since these days. I'm not saying Shat was bad by any means, but ripped? Hardly. Neither is Pine, but I would say that physically he is a lot fitter than Shat ever was during TOS, and certainly has something closer resembling pecs than moobs.

No he won't, because there wouldn't be any effect. I mean, look at that Pine kid- is he even fully grown? Whenever Kirk's got his shirt ripped, you saw PECS. If Pine gets his shirt ripped, you'll probably see acne on an undeveloped area.

Mmmhmm...I agree! Let's see as many of those men as shirtless as possible.
I've never been a huge Shatner fan, even back in his prime in the TOS seeing his shirt ripped did nothing for me. But Pine on the other hand, I'll gladly see his shirt ripped in every fight scene if the producers went that far!

I was only half-joking...
C'mon, don't tell me the Shat did *not* have pecs, that's just not true. Or as Kirk himself said "You made that up".
They made him get his shirt ripped in nearly every ep because he was in great shape then - whether you like it or not. 
Yes, he was huskier than Pine is, but that's a matter of taste.As for suckin' in that "beer keg" of his - as far as I'm concerned he didn't come across as *that* desperate, and he still managed to make Kirk famous and iconic despite that terrible obstacle.
Seems, alot of gals all over the world do have a soft spot for bare chests, sweaty pecs, and beer kegs...Great combination! 
As regards the pic you kindly provided: I can definitely see too many ribs - but that's only my personal taste.
In a way, I hope they do use the "Kirk with torn shirt" thing, but only as a throw-away -- just as a nod to the icon status of it, wink, and move on, rather than making a big deal out of it à la "You see here? Pine really is Kirk because he's got the torn-shirt thing happening, see?!"
Because it would be kind of lame, if they felt it necessary to do that. Pine should be playing Kirk, and not playing Shatner.

So if the "Kirk and Spock Fighting Music" from Amok Time is playing when Pine's shirt gets ripped, that would be bad?
I concur. Canon is at stake!
Yes. You might be confused due to his lack of a pot belly, which we have come to associate with Kirk. We'll all have get used to a leaner, meaner (and significantly taller) Kirk.
Also with hair.
Not necessarily; it's all in how it's played. A sly quote of that music might be just the thing.

I got a better idea: give Shatner a shirtless cameo. Oh sorry, we're not supposed to suggest Shatner cameos, are we?
If Kirk's shirt doesn't get ripped then this film will be teh suxage!!!! Cannon gonna be out duh window!!!! ARGGGGGGGH JJ you suck man!!!!
Damn...get that man a cracker or two. A Kahn-ut-tu Witch Woman will break him in half.

I love this forum.

James T. Kirk, now available with real hair. From Mego!
I concur!
Also if Kirk isn't forced to his knees holding his palms to to his temples in agony, then it is teh suxage also.

Huh huh huh...Mego...Huh huh huh huh...
And when he kisses a girl with his shirt ripped and showing his hairless chest, will it look like he's gonna bite her lips off?
Ah, classic Kirk.
