Maybe it's just because I've never been a die-hard Trekkie, but I didn't have any problem with Pegg...he entertained the Hell out of me. Sure, he took some liberties with the character, and he may have been a bit over-the-top, but I found he fit the tone of the film and gave a great fun performance. I can see why it might bug some people, but I thought he was great.
Personally Chekov was my favourite. That kid is amazing.

But anyway, Scotty was always kind of over-zealous in the original series, so I thought Pegg did a good job. The real problem is that Scotty is supposed to blend into the background, and Kirk and Spock were the main roles. I think what Pegg did, was be so good that he stole every scene he was in and thus became a little out of character.
