What's Up With The New Star Trek Movie?

I grew up watching Star Trek, i caught the bug from my older brother who used to never miss an episode.
It was very exciting when i read that a new Star Trek movie was in the works and that the guy behind Alias and Lost, J.J. Abrams, was directing it.
Yesterday is watched the trailer of Star Trek and found it to be kinda' off!
The characters are more rebellious and hostile than the original ones; it seems the calm personalities of Spock and Kirk have changed and have become more like your everyday jerk! In the trailer, a young Kirk is seen driving madly and getting into trouble with the police and Spoke is seen picking a fight! Spock was always cool and stayed far away from fights as possible! Remember? Oh! We'll actually get to see the cool Spock, Mr. Leonard Nimoy, in a special appearance!
It's true that in today's standards, the original Star Trek may seem boring and silly, but that's not really how Star Trek fans see it.
It's that 'something' that makes it special and that we want resurrected!

J.J. Abrams shocked Star Trek fans when he revealed that Star Trek was never his 'thing' ... why take on the project then? Don't ruin this for us!
He says that he doesn't want to concentrate on the ship, The Enterprise, but on the emotional aspects of the people inside. OK, do that, but don't play around too much with those people, we liked them the way they were!

Hey you Star Trek fans reading this! Say something! Am i right?

J.J. Abrams could make a smash hit from this movie, but only if he doesn't screw up the characters! More action, more sex, OK, but give us the real essence of those people we grew up with!
