I never thought I'd get bored of action this good but I did when action scenes were used to bridge the next action scene. How am I supposed to be convinced by all the melodrama in the third act or even care about Harrison's twist when there is about fifteen minutes worth of character stuff in a near two and a half hour long movie?

2009 was better for Kirk, it was better for the whole cast, because not every scene was an action scene, there were actual character moments and character arcs.

Aw are we still going to continue to argue again?

First of all, what do you mean by character moments and character arcs? I want to be on the same page first.

EDIT: I also think this discussion should be taken elsewhere. What do you think about a separate thread or in private discussion?
