We have been debating back and forth about every aspect of this film and one thing becomes very abundantly clear, that this movie will not satisfy the purests of the Cannon people. This movie in their eyes will not be the real thing because its not the original, i think i may have a solution to propose to them. before i go into it I would image that more then a few of you ultra trekies read the star trek books, now they are not accepted as cannon, but you enjoy them am I correct on this? I would Imagine that you consider these if not cannon but rather the side stories or alternate treks, like the comic book what if Stories. Since the movie by Abrams is a reboot, Why not look at it as if not the original, rather as an Alternate Trek.In other words try imagining it as a trek movie in a parallel universe which is the same and not the same. All you have to do is think of the movie in other terms and enjoy it for what it is. Bana is a top notch actor, he make an awesome villain.

I find it hard to take Bana seriously on film though mainly due to his work on Full Frontal and Fast Forward, I just remember watching Black Hawk down and such expecting him to come out with some off the cuff silly comedic coment but it never happened :) I can't get used to hear him talk in an American accent - can we have Romulans with Australian accents? :) I really hope his character is along the lines of some of the best villains trek has had such as the first Romulan Commander in TOS and Khan Bana is a good actor watch “Chopper” it is definitely a great performance you probably wont even recognise him he transformed himself into the character for this role.

I realized a made a mistake earlier when I suggested watching Bana in "Chopper" and "Syriana". He wasn't in "Syriana"! I meant to say "Munich" (which came out about the same time). Mea culpa! 98. Ronny Cox - boss of Bev. Hills cops and villain in “Robocop”. I wouldn't really call Ronny Cox's roll in Bev. Hills Cop as a 'hero'. He always plays a jerk, whether it's outright or just a smarmy and corrupt public servant. Even when he was a Starfleet captain on TNG he was still something of a $%^$#. Eep!

I must admit that the trailers for "The Other Boleyn Girl" look intriguing. Just thought of an actor who has done both hero and villain: Ronny Cox - boss of Bev. Hills cops and villain in "Robocop". Kurtwood Smith - president of Earth, Red in "That Seventies' Show" then with Cox in "Robocop" Can't think of any others. Back to you. I gotta start preparing dinner. [yawn] kg Re: #94. Irish Trekki

But i am excited to see this. Kirk lives! Bana mentioned his role is like a cameo, I assume meaning he's not the main focus all the way through the film? Well, whatever... I hope we get a Khan-level baddie, whose force alone makes him memorable.

First movie I saw this guy in and he is amazing. If anyone wants to see Eric Bana doing some serious hard man acting, check out ‘Chopper’. First movie I saw this guy in and he is amazing.
