I wasn't overly fond of that Star Trek movie, but I did think the cast was the best thing about it, and enjoyed their takes on the classic roles. To me, the interesting thing about Hawkeye is that everyone seems to have a different idea where he should fall on a scale between humorous and full out action hero. Pine would land in my comfort zone, though I'd also take funnier.
I think they realized the key to a good Star Trek story is Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. McCoy was a little third wheel by the end and didn't really have much to do (other than get Kirk on the Enterprise), but it was a good start.

Having Whedon makes me feel more confident that we won't get something like "The Ultimates" versions of the remaining Avengers. That Hawkeye sucks... And the one from that Avengers cartoon from a decade ago was essentially Wolverine with a bow..
I'm hopeful for a little more plot with Whedon then we might get with another director. I liked Ang Lee's Hulk because it wasn't just a smash-'em up monster movie (like the sequel was); the ending kind of fell apart but otherwise it was a strong film.
