Isn't Star Trek II Wrath of Khan Exceptional?

I always watch this when it's on. I admit a special love for these early 80s space movies for the nostalgic value from when I was a young kid and would them in complete awe.
What do you think?
Restated for the typical MTV Board folk: how much do you hate this movie?

[New scene. The coffee shop. Jerry is having lunch when George walks in.]
Jerry: Hey.
George: Hey. How's your day, good?
Jerry: Actually, yeah. I'm meeting Mulva here in a few minutes.
George: So uh... Wrath of Khan, huh?
Jerry: Yeah. Was that a beauty or what?
George: What was that line again? Something about finding your way in a shadow?
Jerry: No, no, no, it's... "She's not really dead if we find a way to remember her."
George: That's it. That's the line... (squirts mustard into Jerry's coffee and stirs it) ...that destroyed my life.
Jerry: (stares into coffee cup and looks back at George) Problem?
George: The Rosses have started up a foundation, Jerry, and I have to sit on the board of directors.
Jerry: Hey, board of directors. Look at you!
George: Yeah! Look at me! I was free and clear! I was living the dream! I was stripped to the waist, eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery!
Jerry: Before we go any further, I'd just like to point out how disturbing it is that you equate eating a block of cheese with some sort of bachelor paradise.
George: Don't you see? I'm back in.
Jerry: All because of Wrath of Khan?
George: Yes!
Jerry: Well, it was the best of those movies.
George: KHAN!

It's alright, watching it in today age it does not hold up well, the fight was too slow.

That's what I like about the movie. That the fight was slow enough to build suspense.
These days everything in movies happens too fast.
I'm all for slowing it down.

That writing was so much the shite.Posted on 8/26/17 at 8:40 pm to SpqrTiger
That was not suspsen that was boring, speed it up by 25% and it would have been good. That slow arse fighting make it seme like 1700 battleship fighting style.

It's perfect. An early draft actually called for Kirk and Khan to have a fist fight at the climax, which seems ridiculous in retrospect.

Good. That's what they were going for.

I like it, also enjoy the episode in the original series that sets it up.

Arguably the finest science fiction film and is one of the best films of any genre, ever, IMHO.

Score does a lot of the heavy lifting. Like any good movie should. The battle in the mutara nebula is the best space battle ever. ship to ship.

I agree with the pace of fight scenes. The transformer movies opened my eyes to the ridiculousness of it. Who can keep up with all that action. I like to know whats going on instead of the fact there is a shite storm of things blowing up and crashing.

Yes. Ricardo Montalbun made that movie work so well.

His speech where he says "I wish to go on hurting you" and leave Kirk buried alive is perfection.
