What I can say? They all are great! Some are better than others, but still is very enjoyable, why there is so mixed reviews about it? I can understand some specific complains, but that dosen't make it bad.

I honestly think Generations gets hated on more than it should because the Enterprise D is destroyed. People love that ship.
I thought the crossover element of Generations really brought it down. The original cast had a far better farewell in Star Trek VI, and I don’t think the writers of Generations had enough to say about Kirk’s character to justify the tortured story logic that brought him in.
Give me a Kirkless cut and I’ll be so much happier. All the pure TNG elements work fine for me, McDowell is great, and the D looks beautiful with cinematic lighting.
I found the crossover kind of neutral. I don't think it made the film much better or worse. I think a nice thing could have been some sort of Nimoy cameo at the end.
It was cool how they killed off Kirk though. He died as he lived; on the bridge!
Now see, if they’d had Jokester Data drop that pun right before the credits rolled, I’d have forgiven the whole thing.
Well, under it, anyhow.
Adjacent to the bridge. Close enough.
My sad take is that I felt like I noticed a shift in the opinions of fandom after that infamous Red Letter Media review in 2012. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love those reviews and think they're hilarious, but a lot of Redditors (and Lemmy-ers) seemed to look at the Plinkett character as someone worth emulating instead of despising.
