Nemesis was almost certainly the worst of the 'even' movies. Probably not as bad as The Motion(less) Picture (re-watching that one recently, I nearly fell asleep before the opening credits), and certainly not down to the level of Final Frontier (don't ever try to sell me on a director's cut of that one).
As for 11 involving TOS characters, remember that they aren't just aiming for the people who know all of the intricate background to the Trek universe, but also those who just know about Kirk/Spock/McCoy, etc. That said, there is a major landmine in casting, in that if those three roles are not cast perfectly, it will alienate even those willing to overlook inconsistencies in timeline (Not only was Kirk not the original Captain, but McCoy was a slightly later addition as well).
