To be honest, I hated that Leonard Nimoy was in this movie. It seemed like pandering. I can't deny loving seeing him as Spock, but I think it dimmed the reboot that was otherwise going so successfully.
But it took me out of the film. If that's old Spock, we know what young Spock looks like ... and it's not like Zachary Quinto. I just found the whole thing off-putting ... and completely groanific when Nimoy had more scenes at the end.
Besides, it's not a smart idea to ask your audience to accept Quinto as Spock ... and then throw in a heavy dose of "real" Nimoy/Spock.
It worked regardless. Not a choice I would have made, but it's always a blast seeing Nimoy as Spock. So just another bit of fun that might have been a tad stupid, but was undeniably and mostly fun.
