I don't have a problem with Pine, because I never had any pre-existing notion of what Kirk was like when he was younger than the 1960's version. So, he fits fine for me. I've seen a few press shots where he looks very pretty-boy. But, after seeing the trailer, I believe he can pull it off.
Besides, the gut instincts a lot of fans fight with over the whole recasting is that, somewhere in their mind, they think these new actors will be somehow trying to play the old actors. Pine isn't playing The Shat. He's playing a young James T. Kirk. So, given that, and given we've never seen a Kirk this age, it's really difficult to compare them with any accuracy...
