Well, Chris to be fair I'm an old (not that old, 48) trek fan who actually enjoyed the 2009 version, what I am basing my opinion on so far from what I have read is that it just smacks of lazy writing. If I go by what you are saying then why not just have a whole new plot with a new crew, new ship and brand new adventures...why grab on to what was already done and basically trash it?
I would love to see a new Trek where I don't know the characters and I get to know them as I go on. What they are doing now is basically a rip off and a bad one at that. The first movie had it's annoying things but basically I thought it got off to the right start but timeline changes don't answer to all that was done in this second one, not by a long shot. Abrams just doesn't give a crap because he is a Star Wars fan..they picked the wrong guy for this mission.
On a side note... I like Pine as Kirk....remember this is young Kirk we are seeing..the original series he was a bit older and wiser and more experienced. I think his voice is fine.
