My body is ready. Here's hoping he can match the opening scene of Star Trek 2009.

Super 8 was a mistake. He has the potential to move above the summer blockbuster material that he seems to have sworn himself to.

Captain, I am detecting massive amounts of lens flare in this sector.

I was already hyped and was sure he was directing.

Not even the woeful villain? If there's one thing I hope the sequel has is a memorable rogue. And if we're lucky, one with coherent motives as well.

You know, I love JJ, but I'm not convinced yet that he does have the chops to move beyond summer blockbusters. Make no mistake, as much as people over the past year have tried to liken him to Spielberg, he is no Spielberg.

This time tone down the lens flare, JJ.

I loved 2009 Trek but First Contact is still my favorite Trek Movie.

He's nothing like Spielberg and if not for Super 8, it would be a pointless comparison to draw, not only on the basis of quality as I assume you're arguing, but also on the basis of their respective work thusfar.
I think he's a good director and needs to work with better editors. But more importantly, he needs to try new and less frantic material. He's unique in today's world of summer directors because he composes spaces in his shots that breathe. Not to say that he clutters the frame, which he really doesn't, but the worlds his movies take place in seem lived-in. They seem believable. And I think he needs to take such directorial strengths and apply them to better scripts.

Yes, only if we could go back to the intelligent and thought provoking writing of Voyager, Enterprise, Nemesis, and Insurrection.

Awesome to hear. I absolutely loved the first one.

The last film was fantastic, and the lens flare is pretty much the most minor complaint you could make about it. Hopefully Bones takes a more prominent role in the sequel.
