If you read Shatner's books on Star Trek (And they're surprisingly good and even address how much he was hated by the rest of the cast) Star Trek V could have been far worse with more budget, including giant monsters being killed by Kirk single handed.
I always have trouble picking between UC and TWOK. letting the crew get older and at the end of their careers was inspired. Also the log that Kirk filed about never forgiving the Klingons for the death of his boy was so well done. Shatner when he wants to nail things is awesome.
I just can't watch Insurrection again, I thought it was so bad, and when Riker is flying the enterprise with a thrustmaster joystick I wanted to throw out the DVD that I had paid 30 bucks for. It was just a bad story, and badly executed. I was honestly looking forward to Nemisis and then the wedding scene happened and it just flopped from there. Even now I feel sorry for Tom Hardy, this movie almost wrecked his career because he was just bad in it.
