History YMMV / StarTrekIntoDarkness

* TheyCopiedItNowItSucks: The movie poster is already being called a rip-off of posters for ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga''.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute / SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Producers have named the film's villain as "John Harrison", despite previous statements that it would be a character that Trek fans "are familiar with" as well as Karl Urban's brief slip that Benedict Cumberbatch would be portraying [[spoiler:Gary Mitchell[[hottip:*:He was a Starfleet officer and longtime friend of James Kirk who developed near-godly powers and an antagonistic attitude (closely mirroring the villain of ''Into Darkness'') in the first episode of [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries the original series]]]]. Seeing as the nine-minute preview shown in theatres [[TheUnreveal does not name Cumberbatch's character]], this is still unresolved.

** The USS ''Enterprise'' crashing into the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco later on.

* TaintedByThePreview: Many fans made judgements after the first teaser, calling it too [[DarkerAndEdgier dark, edgy,]] and action-packed to be a "[[NoTrueScotsman proper]]" ''Star Trek'' film. This is not the first time fans have leveled this criticism, as both ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' and ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' were criticized for deviating from the "proper" Trek spirit, but those movies have since become widely praised.
** Then again, so were Star Trek V and Nemesis, which were also Darker takes of Star Trek, both almost killed the [[Franchise FranchiseKiller]] and First Contact is still a BaseBreaker[[hottip:* And even then its only seen as the best Next Gen film because the others were so bad]].

* TheyCopiedItNowItSucks: The movie poster is already being called a rip-off of posters for ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' (never mind that ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' is the one that shares the similarity).

--->'''Kirk:''' What would Spock do if he was here?

* EvilIsSexy: BigBad John Harrison is played by the good looking, svelte Creator/BenedictCumberbatch.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome:
** The USS ''Enterprise'' crashing into the ocean in San Francisco.

---> Kirk: What would Spock do if he was here?
---> [=McCoy=]: He'd let you die.

* EvilIsSexy: With Creator/BenedictCumberbatch as your villain, this was a ForegoneConclusion.
** EvilIsCool: This was also a ForegoneConclusion.

** From the opening:
---> Kirk: (re: not being able to save Spock) "What would Spock do if he was here?"
---> [=McCoy=]: "He'd let you die."

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: As usual, but special mention goes to the USS ''Enterprise'' crashing into the ocean.
** Equally awesome effect: THE ''ENTERPRISE'' HIDING ON THE OCEAN.

* EvilIsSexy: With {{Creator/Benedict Cumberbatch}} as your villain, this was a ForegoneConclusion.

** True, but with the former films, the DarkerAndEdgier themes naturally fit with the stories' progression from the original series. The problem here is that this feels forced based on what the studios think people want as opposed to what the story needs.
