"Good" or "bad" is simply an opinion.

The new versions being "different" is a fact. The definition of a
"reboot"
means they make changes, which makes it different, which is a FACT, not an
opinion.

They are not a "reboot". They're a continuation and they (mstyl) fit with
what was established before.

Abrams' garbage and the "Entperirse" rubbish (Beavis &
Butthead's attempt
to "reboot" the franchise) don't fit. They make all sorts of ridiculous
changes to what has already been established.

Ah, yet another moron on the Internet who can't actually read and blindly
believes something is "Star Trek" simply because his worthless and
pointless opinion is  "I like it" ... another imbecile who completely
misses the point to to not bother wasting time with.  :-\
