  I too liked ST:TMP a lot. I did see, however, that you really had to be
a trekkie to enjoy it that much. STII on the other hand, was a good movie in 
nd of itself, regardless of whether or not you are a trekkie. ST:TMP could
have eliminated the first boring half hour tour of the Enterprise (I think the
producers wanted to show off their special effects), added a few commercials,
and they would have had a 2-part episode of the old TV series. STII seems
to be designed more to appeal to today's action-adventure-SF movie audience
rather than just the hard-core Star Trek fans.
