Say what you want about skin colour, but Cumberbatch owns this


Just re-watched this. His delivery in the scene in the cell is menacing as hell. I enjoy him in this. Best villian of the three movies, and one of the best movie baddies altogether since it was released.

Oh yes. More terrifying than Nero and Krall. Nero had his future tech and Krall the bee drones, but Khan was one strong scary dude :)

I agree that Cumberbatch did an amazing job as Khan.

I thought Benedict Cumberbatch was great! My favorite scene is when he's in the brig talking about cooperating with Marcus because he was told that if he didn't, Khan's shipmates would be killed. That single tear drop rolling down his face was a very powerful moment.

That, Miss Lincoln, is simply my cat.

I like how Khan always wears all black `cause it makes him look more menacing.

I don't get why people like Cumberbatch. He's awful in this movie. Sucks the entire life out of every scene he's in. Honestly, among the worst acting performances I've seen in a decade, at least. Like bad high school productions of Shakespeare.

I hear that his Sherlock Holmes is good, but as Kahn? Every moment made me want to drop kick a kitten into a wood-chipper.

Benedict Cumberbatch certainly did own this. He was menacing and chilling at times. If the ALT-ST writers made him an entirely new villain then I'd have more respect for the film.
