Watched Star Trek Into Darkness over the weekend, and it was simply amazing. Like ZeoRangerV I went in without spoilers and was absolutely floored.

Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the gems of this generation, but practically everyone else shined in the movie, especially the two main actors Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto as Kirk and Spock respectively. While I liked Quinto in the 2009 movie, I still had reservations, but in this movie he was so good that now he IS effectively Spock for me. I doubt any other modern actor could channel Spock so well.

I watched Iron Man 3 the week before and while it wasn't the best Marvel Cinematic movie I've seen, it was definitely the high point of the Iron Man movies. Aldrich Killian is definitely the most frightening, the most dangerous and ultimately, the most personal villain Iron Man has had in the movies. The Mandarin twist was disappointing, but it was such a surprising twist I really don't know what to feel about it. On one hand I was annoyed, but on the other I thought it was absolutely brilliant.
