Review of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) by Robin P — 05 Jun 2010
After the raving reviews I heard about this over the years, I finally had a look and ended up severely disappointed. The effects do not look good, even for 1982, look at Star Wars 6 from '83 instead. The pace is awfully slow and even Spock's death doesn't work as shock value anymore, because we all know he came back. Even the often praised bad guy Khan is nothing but a stereotype. I simply don't get it. Kirk's crew had a few much more enjoyable adventures later.
It also proves what a brilliant kick-start J.J. Abrahms gave the franchise last year.
