The Forbidden Douchebag

"For hate sake, I spit my breath at thee!"
A damn good slice of space opera, in any regard. A visual trek (if you'll pardon the pun) through CGI-free worlds seemingly constructed from psychedelic album covers is so refreshing and sumptuous in comparison to today's standard grimy-and-gritty or polished-and-metallic views of the future. Aside from that, it's a compelling story of vengeance, and Ricardo Montalban's scenery chewing as Khan is wonderful.
I've seen this countless times since I was a kid, and I still enjoy this thoroughly. It always makes me think about so many things, especially mortality. So many classic Star Trek moments too.
This is the second Star War...Trek movie I have seen (Watching the saga from the first movie), and I have to admit, I really liked the "wrath of khan". Kirk is finaly a bit less arrogant, and there are alot of mind blowing moments were in todays films you just dont see. Really liked this one alot, "From the firey pits of hell, I spit thee my last breath" "By the book"
Pretty good viewing for someone who has minimal understandings of the franchise.
Definitely the best Star Trek film, but also just an excellent military film. Like Horatio Hornblower set in space. It gains an entire star because it avoids the ridiculous fistfights that some of the other Trek films employ.
oh yes the best of the star trek movies, i reccomend 1-4 and first contact, skip the rest unless your desperate for mediocrity.
whoever says that shanter cant act, plainly hasnt seen this or star trek 3. this is on my top five favorite film list for scifi movies, topped only by star wars and the empire strikes back. terrific score, i just wish they would can the reboot music and return to the star trek 2 music as the next generation brilliantly did. the reboot was god awful, made for 20 year olds.
