The idiot fanboys have it in reverse

ya um no

1,3,5, sucked
2,3,6,7,8,10 were good
9 was ok but not good

I've been a Trekkie since about 1990. I used to agree with everyone else about the even/odd thing, but lately I've changed my mind. The first and fifth movies are now my favorites, with the second and sixth coming at the bottom of the list. I even think Generations and Insurrection are more interesting than First Contact and Nemesis.

If you ask me, Star Trek 3 broke the bad odd numbered movie curse before there was a curse, and Star Trek 11 cemented the bad odd number movie curse as busted.

I still find myself to like a great majority of the ST films and I don't really even consider myself a Trekker by any stretch of the imagination.

I - Bad
II - Good
III - Good
IV - Good
V - Bad
VI - Good
VII - Good
VIII - Good
IX - Bad
X - Good
XI - Good

So to me the pattern looks like 1 bad followed by 3 good ones. So that means the next TWO ST movies will be good before they have another crappy one.

Personally, I thought Insurrection was okay (better than TPM and TFF) but it just seemed hokey and I had no real connection to the story.

There is no even/odd curse. Only an idiot would believe that. All of the original cast movies are good, with exception to trek V that is highly flawed. But even it has some good aspects. Now TNG movies look great, but for me they are lesser efforts. Generations was a mess with the way they shoehorned Kirk in and didn't bother to explore interesting concepts due to their need to pointlessly pass a torch and get the two captains to go horseback riding together. At least that one still feels like TNG. After it, the rest all feel like caricatures of TNG, throwing continuity to the wind and feeling divorced from the source material. First Contact is a great action flick, but not a very good Star trek since it steals the plot of ALIENS and doesn't care if it matches up to things we already knew. Insurrection has a decent story, but feels cheap and doesn't have any interesting villains. And then there is Nemesis, which ripped off Star Trek II among other things that I won't waste time going over now. at least the original cast films felt like natural extensions of the TV show characters upon which it was based. TNG felt like it was all a Nexus fantasy of distorted reality experienced by a Picard who never left the Nexus at all...

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

In reality my foot. It's all opinion, and most people don't like every single even movie and hate every single odd movie and vice versa. A lot of people who followed the "even is good, odd is bad" philosophy ended up hating Nemesis and loving the reboot.

Anyway, I like all of the original series movies to some degree (though the comedy of 5 is grating at times) while I only really enjoy First Contact of the TNG movies and didn't much care for Abrams's Star Trek.

I'll never understand why some people wish failure on movies.

OP: You're a moron.

Capitalization and punctuation: They're not just suggestions.

Thank god the aren't any idiot fanboys here, or they might feel compelled to call the OP an A$$hole.
