So does the incorporation of alternate history -- it frees creators from past plots and invites new suspense. But, it left me wishing I'd seen the next movie instead of this one. <br /><br />Personally, I found the new McCoy performance one of the best, although the usual "not a doctor" line was painfully delivered (it was forced in script placement -- not so much the actor's fault).<br /><br />As for the villain, another unbelievable dimension of his vengeance plot -- he had to wait 25 years before acting on it. And with very little mayhem to show for it, apparently (as he was undetected as a threat until then).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
