I really think he's the biggest reason I hate this movie, rather than merely dislike it. Although I have outlined all sorts of other points in this thread (and elsewhere), he really isn't likeable as Kirk, so it's hard for me when he's the protagonist. Like his director, I have not liked anything I have seen him in, so, for future reference, he's on my "Do Not Watch" list.
That's not the end of the world. Pitt and Dicaprio used to be on that list. I was open-minded enough to give them another chance. Pitt is still terrible as a lead (Benjamin Buttons notwithstanding), or at least as a lead where he is asked to carry the movie, but he makes a fine supporting character, especially a stoned/crazy/imaginary one. Dicaprio has grown. I still don't think he was good young, but, at least from Aviator on, he has delivered in the films I have seen, anyway.
I really don't see that potential from Pine or LaBeouf though.

If you like movies like Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels from Guy Ritchie, I'd suggest checking out Smokin Aces sometime, as it's a solid movie in that genre with a great cast. Of course if you don't like Guy Ritchie movies, you'll hate Smokin Aces, in which case ignore that movie.
Pine is a side character during parts of the Smokin Aces movie, but he does a good job and shows some decent range in his role.
I agree with you on Dicaprio, I was the same way on him. Never liked him up until the last few years. Pitt I've always liked, but movies he is the lead in are generally average or worse (with a few notable exceptions). But my first couple of introductions to Pitt were in True Romance, 12 Monkeys, and Legends of the Fall, and A River Runs through it, and he was awesome in three of those.
