Spock/Uhura romance can only be wrong for anyone who today is 30-40 years old, but younger people - the main source of income for those movies - may like it, and the old people will soon die and no more be customers anyway.
About this movie, I just say I prefer the previous one. A main reason it is I never was a fan of the original Khan episode of 1967 or the movie of 1982 and so it would have been strange I liked yet another Khan remake. Even if Benedict Cumberbatch it is convincing with his scifi face. The original Khan played by Montalban reminded me "Fantasy Island" tv serie so I looked spaceships looking around "where's the midget"?
Why I don't like the Khan episodes or movies: from Star Trek, I expect one or more of time-warp, aliens and deep space exploration, rhese was present in previous episode, but not in Darkness one. Except not-useful cameo's, this all happens within solar system, between humans and in one time only. You can say "but Khan is genetically modified so maybe valid as alien", I answer I watch Gattaca if I want a movie on the topic.
So perhaps the movie is good as a movie but is the remake of one of the few I don't liked in first place, they had to put more aliens and time warp it all to make it appeal to me.
