Some change is good but what Abrams did in the reboot wasn't even internally consistent let alone "true to the original." I mean, Kirk hasn't graduated the Academy yet in the reboot, but Chekov has. Nevertheless he's promoted above even serving ship officers to suddenly command the Enterprise.
It sounds like your standards are probably a little higher than my own! I enjoyed the RedLetterMedia review of the Abrams reboot though, I thought it was a fair analysis and critique.

Death is too good for Abrams.
