I like him... he seems a little more balanced. And I really liked that one scene in the movie (if you've seen it, go ahead and look at the rest of my message which appears in white text)
I really liked how he told off the Vulcan council about his 'disability' of being part human, refusing the appointment to the Vulcan Science Academy, and then telling them their perfect record of every Vulcan accepting was unblemished since he wasn't 'Vulcan'
