Star Trek

Just adding a "me too". I recognize all of the holes and shortcomings. And I was aware of them while watching. But for whatever reason, something about this movie let me tune it all out. I'm rarely that forgiving for ANY movie, let alone Trek (for a time, the only thing a search for my name on the internet turned up was an email list for the Nitpicker's Guide fan club). But somehow this movie managed to strike a tone that allowed me to say, "Screw it, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this."

And as a testament to how engaged I was in the movie, I just looked up the runtime. I'm shocked to learn that that was a hair over 2 hours. By the 2 hour mark of a movie I'm usually feeling pretty impatient. I would have pegged it a 90-100 minutes based on my perception.
