He really was 'McCoy' in this movie!!! He was a better actor than everyone else...I really thought I was watching Deforest Kelley in every scene....he stole the show!!!

I thought that his performance as bones was dead on! I loved it!

The movie sucked. No question. The story was awful. The acting of the "new kids on the Enterprise" was horrible. The only light in that dark tunnel were Karl Urban and of course Leonard. Thank you Karl for making ST XI a little more tolerable.

@robdsires agreed. if u close your eyes he sounds and talks exactly like him

I did a stopmotion that centers on McCoy.

I've loved Karl Urban since Xena. I was so psyched to see him as McCoy in the new Trek. He's awesome!

I'd like to start off saying I love this movie, and Bones overall. But I found another difference between this Bones and the other. In The Original Series Bones couldn't do the Vulcan salute, but here, at the end, we clearly see him doing the Vulcan salute.

I still haven't stopped watching it!! I thought they were all excellent and I hope they do a series of new stories with the new crew. I know hundreds of Trekkies, Trekkers, whatever who feel the same way!!

@Roadracer987654321 all I remember was mccoy throwing little tantrums around kirk and spock in the original movies :)

In many ways, he probably had the toughest task in recreating a character. No disrespect to the rest of the fine cast, but McCoy was so specific in his HUMAN emotions and speech, that role could've tanked very hard.

I thought Mr. Urban was able to channel the energy of his counterpart, Deforest Kelley, the most out of the Kirk-Spock-McCoy triangle. He did a fantastic job, and I could hear Kelley's McCoy coming out through him the entire movie. He did a wonderful job :)
