Wait I'm confused. Exactly what makes Star Trek Into Darkness a bad movie? I personally thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved both movies 1 and 2.

It's a very different approach to Star Trek from the original series.

My real problem is that, let's be real here, with the exception of The Wrath of Khan I don't think Star Trek has ever really produced good movies. They were interesting enough, but could never do the really fun stuff the series' did. The end result was that the thinky show was watered down with some fairly naff action.
Into Darkness is just the opposite of that. It's a bucket of action movie begging you not to think at all.
I don't think either are bad, I think they just both approached "okay" from really different directions, but I can definitely see why long-time Star Trek fans don't like the new approach.

can't really speak for other staff, but what made ITD an average-to-poor movie for me was:
A. It was basically Wrath of Khan but with some 'role reversals' and small changes here and there. For anyone old enough to have watched ST2 it could potentially be pretty boring.
B. Made some pretty egregious choices regarding established lore. Longtime fans would be pretty pissed about this second one. That being said, I can't really sleight the actors as they did a very good job with what they were given.

I enjoy the new Star Trek movies, and the original series. I have long given up any hope or expectation for a movie to stay true to any prior lore or existing material; expecting that is just bound to pull out all the things from movies that are not enjoyable. And dammit, I want to enjoy the movies I pay too much to watch! So now I just go in to enjoy what I am about to watch and forget about any of my own preexisting knowledge/bias that could potentially sour my experience. I've found that I've enjoyed movies on the whole a lot more since making that mental switch.

I know that the "new" Star Trek is more action based. I am fine with that, obviously I'd rather have the old Star Trek back, but action is okay for me. I just want it to make fucking sense and not be full of plot holes.
Star Trek 8: First Contact is an action movie. It has lots of minor points i can nitpick, but overall it is not a clusterfuck. That is why this movie is good and why Into Darkenss is bad 
I should write a blog about this or somethign lol

Chris Pine and Karl Urban both did a poor job IMO. On top of that it felt more like a fairly generic action sci-fi with a brand slapped on it to sell more tickets. It was fairly entertaining, but I did get pretty bored after about an hour or so.
