Can't argue that your reaction to it is your reaction, just pointing out that iSm was not wildly off the mark with his guesstimate.

And one of the biggest Star Trek fans I know hates it. So?

(So far, I haven’t heard Bjo Trimble’s opinion yet. It will be interesting to hear; she’s the T’Pau Trek fandom.)
Neither carries any more weight than the other. And one of my friend's colleagues who also worked on the Encyclopedia and website and other stuff walked out on it. I didn't post that as an attempt to call it an authoritative view on the quality of the movie. I guess my point is that one can argue whether you enjoy the movie on whole or not, but when someone who literally wrote the book on what is "canon" is okay with it, I personally take that as license to ignore appeals to canon as a reason to hate it (which I don't think anyone here really has done, so not aimed at anyone here who didn't like the movie for their own reasons).
