Well argued and funny review.

Truthfully, it is probably my least favorite next to Star Trek V. I never found it bad but it reminded me of an inflated TNG episode with a rehashed plot. Even seeing it the first time, I left unexcited. Disappointing.
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Personally I rate Nemeis as lowest, simply for the idiotic plot. With Insurrection as second lowest.

Nemesis was easily the worst, rival Khan my ass. But Insurrection was pretty insulting too, like Rochey I rate it as second worst. In fact I rate all of the TNG movies as lower then ST:V.

Berman said Shinzon would rival Khan as a villan.

The big problem with Nemesis was the same as Die Another Day - the plot was a cut-and-paste of previous films without much attempt to make it stand on its own two feet. Plus the extremely irritating fact of the Romulans finally getting a film...and it's all about a human and a bunch of orcs! :evil:

Huh I liked Nemesis. I'd rate it as my second favourite behind First contact.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Sorry I just read this review and it's the funniest thing I've ever read

"Good plan, slaphead"

I'm wetting myself just writing this.

I don't think that Insurrection was that bad. I loved the fight scenes(the only thing that always gets better in the series) and the crew's new ball-punching attitude. If the kept that up in Nemesis, rather then reverting to the usual roles we see them in, the movie would've been better. Well at least the fights are still good.
