They turned Khan, of all characters, played by Cumberbatch, of all actors, into an empty shell of a man that you didn't care if he lived or died, won or lost.

Just terrible character and story development.
If another actor played Khan in the original I'm not sure if today we still look back at the Wrath of Khan so fondly as many do. When I think of Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan the first thing that comes into my mind is Khan not Kirk, Spock, etc. He owned that movie. It was just the perfect casting as Ricardo Montalban really made that movie as one of the best motion picture villains of all time in that he straddled the boundaries of believable and over the top performances. They simply swung and missed on the casting the 2nd time around.
