But the issue is that Star Trek Into Darkness is a much, much better movie than many other Star Trek films (Nemesis anyone?). So the outrage doesn't seem proportional to the quality (for instance Star Trek fans voted it the worst film in the series). And the initial reception was great, but somewhere along the way

Psycho I thought was legitimately scary, even though when I first saw it I was 10 years old. Even now, I find it somewhat creepy and unsettling

When you talk about Spartacus do you mean the Kubrick film or the Starz TV series?

For me that made sense. Adding the gods would've required a longer adaptation, and may have been off putting to people expecting a typical swords and sandals epic. The film actually did a pretty good job incorporating the Iliad (Agamemnon taking Briseis) and nodding to it (the "punishment" for insulting Apollo). And

Caesar was actually a champion for the poor…definitely an asshole, especially in Gaul, but when it comes to him vs the aristocratic Senate, it's kinda hard to pick sides

What did I say that was false? Do you have an actual argument or just mindless abuse?

87 percent of the UK is white. So yeah, not quite the same as 10th century Scandinavia, but close

If you set a film in China, you're probably not going to have many white or black characters

Is it really surprising that a film set in England has mostly white characters?

Transformers revenge of the fallen passes the bechdel test. Run Lola run does not. Any more questions?
