Well in all fairness to him, I thought they didn't give him much time in the movie to fully bring his character to light. All I saw was a pissed off biker Romulan who wanted to take his anger out on Spock and his people.

But to avoid looking a lot like Nemesis, Abrams focused on just highlighting "Nero" and moved on to the other characters.

Given the short amount of background and time of the Nero character on the screen, I thought Eric did the best he could under the circumstances.

I totally did not like him in this movie...this movie could have been much better if they would have picked a better actor for this role than just trying to "bank" on a name to sell tickets.
