The Wrath of Khan is perhaps the most beloved of The Star Trek films. I do appreciate it in many ways. With all that, I think that the complex character that Khan was in Space Seed was turned into something of a cartoon in the film.
Ooh, Brian, careful. Criticizing TWOK summons vengeful fanboys, I'm told. It's not my favorite TOS movie, though, so you're safe as far as I'm concerned. ;-)
Ricardo Moltaban was perfect as Khan. I wish more interesting things had been done with augments in the Trek world, but the writers had imagination problems where they were concerned.
@ Brian: Kahn was great in the OS episode. Looking 'back' on the Eugenics Wars was fascinating and I really wish they'd explored that more (or at least properly). I was so glad when they brought Kahn back in Wrath but he was a much weaker character there I agree.
@ Stephen: Do passions run high about TWOK? I didn't realise [grin]. It's my fave OS movie though by far. A movie/series spin off on the Eugenics Wars would be very interesting I think. I MUST check out the novels @ some point! [lol]
On the TrekBBS, Trek subreddits, and the Trek facebook pages that I frequent, it's the most universally-liked one. Personally, The Undiscovered Country was my favorite for a while. General Chang was a fun villain!

@ Stephen: Well, you don't get a Shakespeare quoting Klingon every day! I see he was voted the No 2 baddie in Star Trek.... [grin]
The Undiscovered Country is also my favorite.
