Karl Urban nailed McCoy. I didn't like a lot of the other main cast as much, and the direction was really confusing with too many cuts with too much action. The storyline was ok, but of course the Spock/Uhura was thrown in just for the shock value. It was well performed though, so it's nice.
I like Star Trek: The Motion Picture though, so don't read too much into my rant.
@qix77 They all nailed their roles. Even the original actors from the series agreed. Nichelle Nichols said it was like talking to her self 40yrs ago, Leonard Nimoy pretty much picked Zack himself, and Will Shatner was supportive of the new cast as well.

@qix77 My boss is brittish but his accent is SO much like this. I still scratch my head sometimes when I hear him talk. I really can't tell the difference sometimes except for the guys from "Flight of the Concords". They are obvious.
C'mon SYLAR did a good job too! :p And Kirk was cocky and arrogant just like you'd expect. Bones WAS the best though, by far. And Cory Feldman! BRAVO as the main villain!!!! LOL just kidding. Eric Bana did a great job, but he did look a little like a romulan Cory Feldman. LMaO
@qix77 Thank you for handling yourself with a lot of class. Despite reiterations ad nauseum regarding Karl Urban's nationality and some very rude comments, you chose to withhold the discourtesy. That's rare to see on youtube.
@qix77 wow, ignorance is obviously this troll's god. I have no idea how karl OR blunty sound english, but they have a strong australian/NZ accent.
Also, the other actors did an amazing job. They weren't supposed to "nail" the character because they didn't want to make it an imitation nor a parody. You would've known this if you would've watched the extras on the dvd/bluray or if you are a star trek fan at all.
I do find Karl Urban to be so well spoken in his interviews. Easy to understand for me being an Aussie and him being a 'neighbour'. Just love his accent.
@qix77 not everyone is able to properly distinguish the different accents in the English language. Mr. Urban is in fact from New Zealand. Or a Kiwi as many would call it. Honestly I don't think I would have been able to name the origins of his accent if I hadn't known from the get go that he's from NZ.
@qix77 How did you get British from an Aussie? Hehehehe... Then again, when people attempt Aussie accents, they end up with British/cockney. Always amusing.
@ace69er Yeah... I tried to fix that.. Net issues ftl. This dude was also in Lord Of The Rings movies... I finally realised where I'd seen him before... and *double facepalm*ed myself. HAHA!! D'oh!!
I think that Bones is the sort of down to earth one in the trio with Spock and Kirk, and I think in real life he's also a little bit more down to earth than Chris and Zach. I think that says something about the casting as well, you know?
They all reflect their characters so well and have a great chemistry. I absolutely love all of the cast. :)
I'm so happy he had a character all to himself! SO funny and so developed!...I love him as Eomer in LOTRs...he was fantastic...but this movie he showed more of his talent!!!
@ wickedglamour - it's historically established - search at "wikipedia" for "Kiwi (people)" and Kiwi about the flightless birds (which became the national symbol for NZ)
While no one can replace DeForest Kelley as Bones, I think Karl Urban did an excellent job of portraying a young Bones. He got pretty much the essence of McCoy down to a T.
someone tell me why his accent is called a "kiwi" accent......i know Karl is from New Zealand, but i'm still a confused American who gets even more confused when i see everyone say "kiwi accent".........=/
See? There is little hope for your people. No wonder no1 likes Americans, because of their ignorant and insular mentalities. (nothing EXISTS outside the US. America IS the world)
Ironic i often have to teach Americans their OWN history to them!
I'm going to force myself to be polite here. I'm pretty sure plenty of people from South America, or Africa, or fucking Japan would also agree they have/had no idea why people from New Zealand are called Kiwi's. It's not my American ignorance or ego. I was politely asking why that was so that I WOULDN'T be ignorant, so excuse me for my curiosity. I can understand that you don't like America or Americans, but please, shut the fuck up and stop leaving angry racist comments.
No, if you disagree with an American, you have an opinion or an outlook. You are just an angry person apparently. And just because you are so knowledgeable on national nicknames doesn't mean the whole of the non-American population is as well. And sorry if I've got other more important things on my to-do list other than know national nicknames, like getting my car repaired so I can get to my job or worrying about my sick mother. Don't be so goddamn judgmental about nothing, asshat.
Yeah well, everyone has to deal with ignorance. You can either be helpful to the ignorant to help them not be so, or you can keep your mouth shut. Angry, disrespectful words only serve to make other people angry and lose respect for you.
He was absolutely wonderful as Bones and I can't wait for the next movie. I was so surprised how I, as a die hard Trek fan, accepted so easily these new actors in those beloved roles. Says a lot for everyone involved in the movie.
OMG, he's a Trekkie! I'm thrilled! Mr. Urban is a fabulous Bones McCoy; the only glaring difference between the two (besides physicality like height and build) was that Karl Urban omits the "good ol' Southern boy" attitude that De Kelley brought to the role. That was fine with me, because I figure that attitude came along as the character aged. Also, this set of characters is more desperate than the original series characters ever was, so they can't be mellow.
You're correct. When De's mother past away from terminal cancer, she gave him her engagement ring to him. De wore it on his left pinky as a tribute to her.
I did note in the movie he seemed to nail Kelly's mannerisms and speech patterns as Bones. I was surprised by that and gained a lot of respect for him as an actor.
Everyone seemed thrilled about Mr. Nimoy picking his replacement in Zachary Quinto. Mr. Shatner seemed pleased with Chris Pine. I can't help but think that DeForest Kelley is immensely pleased (wherever he is) with his successor. I know I am.
really liked his take on Bones, but he really has done a lot of work from Eomer in LOTR, Vaako in the The Chronicles of Riddick, plus he had light roles in the XENA series as Caesar
I had a few problems with the new movie, but this guy completely nailed the McCoy part. He was the only one I fully believed was the original character.
i just saw this again in IMAX and it was so awesome. it was alot of fun, but also a little heartbreaking to see what happened to Vulcan. can't wait for the DVD to come out.
Karl Urban is awesome to begin with and he's even more awesome because he played Bones to a T! He was so great! I've seen the movie three times in theaters, I'm a big time trekkie and he blew me away with his performance!
He was just terrific! Funny thing is, even though a big LOTR fan and think he is a great actor (see Out of the Blue a Kiwi film), he was so much Bones that I didn't recognize Karl. Didn't realize it until the credits. He nailed it!
urban was fantastic, he portrayed the /amazing/ heart beneath all the gruffness so well. he managed to get deforrest kelley's georgia accent, which would be a feat for any actor but even more amazing for him considering he was doing a basic american accent at the same time.
movie was fantastic, bones was my favorite in TOS, and in the new version.
karl Urban is a good actor, but he did an awsome job and Bones I though it was DeForrest Kelley for a minute when I first saw it becasue of the way he was acting and talking
wow... VERY cool. : ) he's been my favorite actor for a while now - it'd be a pleasure to meet him, just for a chat... he seems so friggen down-to-earth. everybody who meets him says so... but the chances of me meeting him are quite slim as i live on the total opposite of the world in canada... :D
First of all, I whole-heartedly agree with ImmortalAmethyst. I've been a Trekkie a long time, but have never really been a squealing fangirl for any particular character. Until now that is!
I really wish they would have given Bones a bigger part in this movie. The original series made a point of showing them more as a trio than just a duo. IF there is another movie (*crosses fingers*) I would love to see more banter between McCoy and Spock.
It's not often that my squealing fangirl side coincides with my Star Trek nerd side...!
He was a fabulous Bones! I know he worked with a voice coach, but he must have just mainlined old ST episodes to get all those little mannerisms spot on!
Verily he channelth De Forest Kelley! Considering he's a Kiwi (props to my New Zealander buddies) he did an excellent Southern man (I always thought that Dr. McCoy was from Georgia not Kentucky...oh I forgot, the movie was
"All I've got left are my bones". I was always wondering why Kirk called the doctor "bones". If it's a slang term medical doctors use for something please let me know. I was very sketical of the remake but they made it very entertaining.
It's a play off of the word "sawbones." In TOS, that's where the nick-name came from. In this new movie, it could be said that it came from the "All I've got left are my bones" line or the example I mentioned above. :]
Either way, my hat's off to Karl Urban. He did a wonderful job. McCoy is my favorite character and I'm really attached to the way DeForest Kelley brought him to life, but Urban exceeded my expectations. I just wish we could have seen more of him in the film!
Karl Urban rocks, I've been following his career since his early Xena Warrior Princess days. LOTR, Star Trek, Xena--he's like the god of the nerds. Sexy kiwi accent too :D

The Kiwi fruit is a North American invention, a large gooseberry given the name Kiwi by some marketing wiz who no doubt thought it sounded exotic.

Karl Urban is awesome to begin with and he's even more awesome because he played Bones to a T! He was so great! I've seen the movie three times in theaters, I'm a big time trekkie and he blew me away with his performance!

Hahaha, I liked the creepy slow zoom in. XD
These interviews are good, but the editing drives me crazy...

I didn't notice the zoom till I read your comment. When you watch it again it's pretty funny (and sketchy.)

He was just terrific! Funny thing is, even though a big LOTR fan and think he is a great actor (see Out of the Blue a Kiwi film), he was so much Bones that I didn't recognize Karl. Didn't realize it until the credits. He nailed it!

urban was fantastic, he portrayed the /amazing/ heart beneath all the gruffness so well. he managed to get deforrest kelley's georgia accent, which would be a feat for any actor but even more amazing for him considering he was doing a basic american accent at the same time.
movie was fantastic, bones was my favorite in TOS, and in the new version.

Oh, his natural drawl is sooo fine! And he's such a great pick to cover the post of Bones, left open by DeForest Kelley.

wow... VERY cool. : ) he's been my favorite actor for a while now - it'd be a pleasure to meet him, just for a chat... he seems so friggen down-to-earth. everybody who meets him says so... but the chances of me meeting him are quite slim as i live on the total opposite of the world in canada... :D

First of all, I whole-heartedly agree with ImmortalAmethyst. I've been a Trekkie a long time, but have never really been a squealing fangirl for any particular character. Until now that is!
I really wish they would have given Bones a bigger part in this movie. The original series made a point of showing them more as a trio than just a duo. IF there is another movie (*crosses fingers*) I would love to see more banter between McCoy and Spock.

I liked the caracters exept spock he was more of a weird guy he should have a negitive face no offence

It's not often that my squealing fangirl side coincides with my Star Trek nerd side...!
He was a fabulous Bones! I know he worked with a voice coach, but he must have just mainlined old ST episodes to get all those little mannerisms spot on!
Oh... and he is also searingly HOT! *sigh*

dude, i totally forgot he had a kiwi accent!!! I LOVED HIM IN STAR TREK... i heard the voice and new 'that's bones' therefore there's Urban...

Verily he channelth De Forest Kelley! Considering he's a Kiwi (props to my New Zealander buddies) he did an excellent Southern man (I always thought that Dr. McCoy was from Georgia not Kentucky...oh I forgot, the movie was
an alternate timeline....

I'm kinda sad how there are "Trek-nazis" that hate this movie so much and can't even allow themselves to have fun with it.
Sure it's not perfect, but I for one think this movie is a "Star Trek" film.

"All I've got left are my bones". I was always wondering why Kirk called the doctor "bones". If it's a slang term medical doctors use for something please let me know. I was very sketical of the remake but they made it very entertaining.
superflymasterGman 2 years ago
"Bones" is short for "Sawbones" which was commonly used in, like, the 17th century for a ship's surgeon.
microffobiaa 2 years ago
It's a play off of the word "sawbones." In TOS, that's where the nick-name came from. In this new movie, it could be said that it came from the "All I've got left are my bones" line or the example I mentioned above. :]
Either way, my hat's off to Karl Urban. He did a wonderful job. McCoy is my favorite character and I'm really attached to the way DeForest Kelley brought him to life, but Urban exceeded my expectations. I just wish we could have seen more of him in the film!

BEST character in the new movie.
He nailed it on the head. I get the feeling he actually studied DeForest Kelly in his role. Even to the way he speaks and holds his mouth.
Karl Urban is the MAN!!!
