Ricardo wore the role of Khan like a suit of armor. You could tell he was absolutely loyal to his people, but at the same time had an ego that would ultimately be the end of them all. When his First makes the point "we have a starship and are free to go wherever you like. You've already defeated Kirk by freeing us" or words to that effect, he wasn't wrong. But Khan's ego wouldn't stop till either or Kirk were dead. And, even Kirk is, literally a, genius (and has the benefit of Spock's) , to Khan they're inferiors in need of being put in their place.

[@jamesbutler8821]

I wouldnt say he was loyal to his people at all. With Genesis and a starship they could have ruled, or at least set themselves up pretty well in the galaxy. Khan could have replicated it and used it to terrorize everyone into submission. Going head to head with Kirk, a guy who had beaten him back in his best days, then repeated it just off the cuff when Khan had literally JUST surprised him was insane. Khan may be more intelligent but Kirk obviously has his number. Best to leave that in the rear view mirror, as Joachim so states.

[@chris1pdx]

What a power team that put this movie together. Harve Bennett. Nicholas Meyer, James Horner. All the actors. The SFX crew. Every one of them on their absolute A Game. Plus, at 2:24, look at Khan's crew, and how they flinch in surprise at the full-throated vengeance in Khan's voice as he screams "FIRE!!!!!!" Absolutely brilliant.

Kirk screwed up not raising the shields according to general order #24, a court marshal offense/violation!

Agreed but the rebuttal to the appropriate course of action is that if he had done that the movie wouldn't have been nor would the events of Search for Spock or The Voyage Home occurred and if you really want to picky Kirk wouldn't have been in a position for the retrieval of George and Gracie to save Earth.

After seeing it I was glad I did! For it was surely the very best Star Trek movie “ever”! I didn’t have to see any of the other Star Trek movies after that, because I knew none would compare to Star Trek The Wrath of Khan!
