But then, it just goes off the rails on a crazy train - Pike "senses" something, and ultimately puts Kirk in command? WTF? So, now he jumps from newly commissioned ensign to O-6, without spending any significant time learning the job?
I agree with this entirely.
I don't care how good he was as a temporary Captain. There is a track in any military organization and he would have to be on it that to see promotion. He certainly couldnt go from O-1 to O-6 in a matter of a few days. The only angle I can think of was Nero devastated the fleet and there were a shite ton of battle field promotions (much like World War 2 when are armed forces suddenly expanded to millions of men and suddenly you had a shite ton of very young Generals).
Beyond that though I really thought JJ did a good job with capture the spirit of the Original Trek.
Then again I was never much of a fan of anything past TNG...

Same here pretty much. Though I did like the extended war sections on DS9 from time to time.
I'm not really a fan of JJ outside of Fringe and this Star Trek movie, but I though he did a solid job rebooting the series, despite some silly things like the Kirk promotion and the flares.

Rob, I have tried to be honest throughout this thread and admit this is the prevailing opinion amongst TOS fans with whom I discuss this.
I'm still asking questions. Can this team do anything like "City on the Edge of Forever"? "Amok Time"? Heck, "A Taste of Armageddon" or "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"? Maybe that's not what modern, movie-going audiences are looking for - but it is what I expect from Star Trek.
