re: Biggest Movie Plot Holes/WTF moments?

I actually liked the new Star Trek, but it was absolutely riddled with logic / plot problems.
One of the biggest being that the Romulans were in the same area of space for 20 years waiting for Spock to appear. Many reasons that made no sense since Spock went into the wormhole FIRST.
The plot problem was brought about because of editing and story rewrites. In the original script, the Romulan ship was damaged in the intial fight, then captured by Klingons.
They were held captive for 20 years.
That of course opened up a whole new slew of problems like how did they escape after 20 years and it sure seems like the Klingons could have fixed the Romulan ship and dominated space for 20 years.
So they cut that whole bit out and we just see the Romulans doing nothing for 20 years just waiting for Spock.
I won't even bring up the Romulan super drill and Vulcan having ZERO interplanetary weapons to stop the drill.
I'll toss out the whole plot of Trek Nemesis which also went through a million rewrites in which Piccard's clone was captured and made a slave to the Romulans yet that somehow made him hate the Federation and want to destroy Earth instead of Romulus.
