Why do people hate him so much?

he's honestly not that bad of a director as people make him. His Star Trek movie was the only one that actually convinced me to watch a Star Trek movie for the first time ever.

I think they've been hitting the nostalgia bottle a little too hard: Abrams directed a Star Wars movie that was better than any Lucas Star Wars movie, and I grew up devoted to Star Wars.

Didn't watch the star wars movie. I actually don't know much about star wars at all(doesn't interest me).

 

He did make me interested to watch a Star Trek movie though. I mean, with a movie about science fiction, giving a bit of CGI will usually help of movie. I watched a bit of one of the old Star Trek series, but it felt hard to watch from how outdated it had become.
