Cumberbatch as Khan was only one of the things that put a bad taste in my mouth about the last ST movie. Cumberbatch's performance was fine, but the whitewashing was to put it mildly, irksome, and then there was the generally stupidity of the plot and the wholesale destruction of a city without much acknowledgement at all of the extreme loss of life that must have happened. And the utter failure of the Bechdale test. Blech. It's definitely a film I won't be watching again. Once was enough.
I will be interesting to see if Marvel can sustain their run. I was disappointed that they turfed Edgar Wright from Ant Man, but I'm curious to see what Peyton Reed makes of it. (Reed directed a very firm favourite of mine, Down with Love, so I'm willing to cut him some slack.)
