So far, the critics seem to be pretty "meh" about Star Trek: Into Darkness (though the fans seem to be mostly positive about it). One thing I love is how regardless of what they think of the movie, everyone seems to have glowing reviews for Benedict Cumberbatch. (Which is as it should be, IMO.)

It is easy to see why Cumberbatch has developed a dedicated following from his work as the title character on the British series "Sherlock." He's a walking spectacle. If I was an actor with an ego, I would not want to share screen time with this man. Unless you're there to be comic relief, Cumberbatch is going to make you look like a dinner theater actor. - Yahoo! review

Except for Martin Freeman. :-D

He's played by rising British star Benedict Cumberbatch in a totally original way, with the physicality of a dancer and an eager, puckish sincerity that ingeniously disguises his vengeful mission. - "Entertainment Weekly" review

And from the center of the "Entertianment Weekly" bulls-eye - "Who's the movie villian of the summer? Elementary, my dear Cumberbatch."
