It may not surprise you that I was one of those Trekkie fanboys who didn't like the 2009 Star Trek film because of my strong objections to the reboot. And while I maintain those strong objections, there's not much I can say about Into Darkness other than it was absolutely fantastic.
I loved it. But I also enjoy the "reboot." It's a new timeline, so nothing in your sentimental Prime timeline is affected. It lets them tell new stories with somewhat familiar characters for a new generation. It was about broadening the fan base, which was desperately needed. I'd personally still love to see a DS9 movie, but that'll never happen. It's about 15 years too late now.
Also, I'm interested to see who the villain(s) will be in 3. You gotta know the Klingons aren't going to sit idly forever. Plus there's so many possibilities of an entirely new direction with the Enterprise heading out on a 5-year deep space mission.
