But the movie is utterly stolen by Cumberbatch. And it’s not even close. He’s surrounded by some pretty high caliber actors, and Cumberbatch makes them look like a high school repertory company. He absolutely sells every element of Khan—his intelligence, his anger, his passion, his calculation, his fury, his strength, his skill. When he announces to Kirk that he’s “better” at “everything,” it includes acting.
(A friend pointed out how impressive Martin Freeman is that he
doesn’t let Cumberbatch so completely steal every scene on
Sherlock the way he gets away with here.)
